Gardeners Retreat - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

T Sarris We took a day trip to Charlbury and found this pub. Walking through the doors was magical. The rooms are cozy and there are several fireplaces to keep you warm. The atmosphere was incredible. Instantly we were welcomed by a delightful server (wish I’d gotten his name- I’d give him a shout out) he was darling and kind and attentive. Made us feel welcomed! The food was absolutely amazing and delicious! The rump was so tasty!! This place is definitely worth the trip! Highly recommend! And don’t forget to have the sticky toffee pudding. It was so good!!

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!

Ashley Thompson We went to the Tite Inn for Sunday dinner and had a really lovely time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the pub is set in such a beautiful, peaceful area. The food was great, and my partner and I both really enjoyed our meals. A really nice place to relax and enjoy a cosy Sunday meal — would definitely recommend!

Sam Fairer A fantastic meal - Sat at the bar which had a great atmosphere! Every dish was delectable, will be coming back especially for the homemade cookies - Mihai & the team looked after us so well!

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

Pete Hickey A Wonderful lunch at The Boxing Hare – We’ll Be Back! Tucked away in the idyllic Cotswolds just outside Chipping Norton, The Boxing Hare is the kind of gem that feels like a warm hug from an old friend. From the moment we stepped through the door of this charming stone-built inn, we knew we’d stumbled upon something special. The rustic beams, cozy ambiance, and that inviting garden peeking through the windows set the perfect scene for a family meal out The steaks are some of the best we have had in a long long time
