Eastern Kitchen - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

Kim Bourlet Went to the Jolly Boatman for a post hen do lunch for 16 of us and we couldnt fault it. Big car park and lots of space to sit, the food was great and we even had our own room so we didnt disturb other customers. The staff were friendly, attentive and flexible. Would definitely return and will be recommending to people I know in the area! Thank you to Sam and the rest of the staff.

Andy Alford From someone who eats out quite a bit, I can honestly say that this was the best curry that Ive had in a long time - possibly ever! I had the chicken lababda, which was just amazing- the flavourings and spices were unlike anything Ive ever tasted before. My son had the chicken korma, which was also delicious. Rice was plump and tasty and the nan bread (plain) was not at all greasy or too oversized. For desert we had gulab jamun, which was also good. This restaurant holds a 5 star food hygiene rating from 23 May 2023. Will definitely be back next time we come to Oxford - well done!

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.

Olga Taylor I’ve been going to this kebab takeaway for years, best one in Kidlington. Was quite happy before but now things sims to improve even more! It’s under new management now and new guys made an amazing job so far. Place is brighter, cleaner, and they’ve got new pizza oven! Yam!

Malik Iqbal The food was really good and fresh. The staff were kind and helpful. I’ll come again for sure.

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.
