Gardeners Retreat - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

Darren Metters The pizzas from Fire and Wine are made to order (you book an oven slot) and are absolutely fantastic!! The pizza base was cooked perfectly and the toppings were tasty and fresh. We will definitely be going again when we return to the Cotswolds next year.

C L Had our evening meal here and it was delicious, some of the best pub food I have had. Freya the waitress was so lovely and attentive, will definitely be back here!

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!

Daz Keal What can we say, what a wonderful trip to Diddly Squat. We stayed for lunch and chose the local pork sausage in a bun with skin on fries. The price was very reasonable at £7.50 for the sausage bun and £5 for the skin on fries. Service was prompt and the sausages were the best we had on our trip. You could taste the quality of the produce. After lunch we visited the shop where the staff were equally as friendly. Well worth a trip.

Felix Keeling Amazing little place with a brilliant outside atmosphere. we had a family meal out, it was delicious and we all loved it - pizza, steak, fish and burgers. Incredible nutella calzone for pudding!

James Excellent meal at The Fox. The salmon was genuinely lovely. Fresh, well cooked, and not messed about with. Food arrived promptly, which is always appreciated when you’re actually hungry rather than on a lifestyle retreat. Staff were accommodating and attentive without being intrusive. Everything ran smoothly, which sounds basic but is surprisingly rare these days. Good food, efficient service, and a place that understands you don’t need theatrics to do things properly. Worth a stop.
