La Vecchia Cantina - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

shelley spring We had the most wonderful stay at The Falkland Arms. Ernesto and the team were absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived. The pub itself is cosy, comforting and full of charm and as a bonus it’s really dog friendly too. We stayed here as we were travelling to see Clarkson’s Farm and it was absolutely perfect. If you’re thinking of doing the same thing, this place is a little gem. The food was incredible, we had the bacon chop, the steak and the chicken gnocchi, all cooked beautifully and full of flavour. Our room was gorgeous, warm and welcoming and breakfast was fabulous, great choice to start the day. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Naomi Kennedy We had a Sunday roast absolutely fantastic best roast beef weve ever had great value highly recommended!!!

Tolu Came to visit this lovely town and visited The Hare for dinner. We called ahead to check for availability last minute, which luckily they had, I’d recommend booking ahead. From the moment we walked in, I was happy. The staff were lovely and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, as well as the drinks. I came with a group and we were all very satisfied. I will definitely revisit this restaurant, when I’m back in Bourton On The Water.

Julie Jacobsen My family and I visited the Cotswolds from the United States back in June 2025, and while I’m a bit late in posting this, the experience was so exceptional I had to share. We were searching for the quintessential English pub experience, and we found it here. We loved it so much we actually returned a second time for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly set this place apart was the hospitality. Guy, the owner, is perhaps the warmest and friendliest person we met on our travels. He took the time to sit with us and chat about our trip, making us feel like locals rather than tourists. If you want authentic charm and a genuine welcome, this is the place to be!

Andy Howard When you walk in and you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming smile from one of the owners (Claire) who seats you in a perfect spot right next to the kitchen where the co owner & Italian Chef (Val) slaves away making every meal to order using only the freshest ingredients you know you’ve found ‘your place’. Unable to choose what to eat we ask Val to keep us fed and watered and between the two we weren’t let down. We told Claire what our wine tastes were and she brought the most Devine wine! Val then made us a starter, a main and a main, and a main… AND a desert!! Wow wow wow!! (Have the crab pasta!!) Our first night at Alberto’s made us feel welcomed, wanted and part of the team! Did you know Val is also a jeweller?! Does this man’s skills have any boundries?! If only we’d come earlier we could have visited their veg shop just up the street “Plant’d” we will be back!! K&A

Andy Dix Popped in for a coffee with parents to see residents and friends since I stopped working there.
