The Turnpike - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

Mitch Delicious coffee, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Paninis made fresh to order - delightful. I had the ham and cheese, my manager had the spicy chicken one, cant remember the name, he really enjoyed that too. Thanks for having us.

Heffernan Noél (Noël) Recently, I was very fortunate enough to be invited by the owner of The Mayflower, in Kidlington, to a Chinese Banquet in his restaurant which is currently mainly known and used as a takeaway. The food was prepared by a renowned Oxford Chef, who previously was heavily involved in The Liaison, Paddyfields and the Tong San, these were all known for serving up the most amazing Traditional, Authentic, Cantonese dishes. He is now preparing this style of food and passing on his skills at The Mayflower on a pre-arranged basis. If you are thinking of having a special meal and think that this would be of interest, please contact the restaurant to arrange a meeting, with the owners, to discuss your requirements. The attached photos show a range of dishes, which although in this case included a number of seafood items, can be altered to suit individual needs. The meal that I have highlighted would cost between £50 and £60 per head and the minimum number would be 8 but 10 is ideal.

Keith Price OK food,but forgot to include everything that was on the menu. The service appalling!!! Walked to the bar and the barman just walked off, went away and came back 5 minutes later and the barman too busy texting on his phone to serve me. When i asked for the bill i was given the tap machine which i refused to tap tip, once paid i was given the bill with a service charge added !!!. Music too loud and after asking for it to be turned down, nothing done!! mooring right outside but we found a much better pub down the road after this experience. My advice give it a miss unless your desperate.

Sadek Ali I have visited this little hidden gem in Kidlington Oxford last Tuesday with friends for a banquet night and I was amazed how good and authentic the curry tasted and specially for £14.95 per person. 4 course this restaurant was jam packed and yet the ease of service and customer care given by the manager (mahfus )was a class. I strongly recommend diners to go ahead and enjoy this restaurant.

Masen Betts We had such a brilliant experience at The Swan! Huge thanks to Theo for his warm hospitality and for squeezing us in last minute. Honestly, it was one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, generous portions, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, making the whole afternoon feel really special. Can’t wait to come back!
