Shin Japanese Kitchen and Bar - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Shiv - Pure joy on a plate – no exaggeration! The food here was one of the highlights of my stay in Oxford. As a vegan it’s so hard getting a decent meal in a casual setting but this place is like an oasis. I was practically salivating watching the person in front of me having their order made. The guy serving (seemed like owner/manager?) was so lovely and let me select a bit of everything. Food was 10/10 for freshness, flavour, nutrition and variety. The pics speak for themselves, and what is shown only cost me £10 odd (including kombucha), which is a steal for sitting in eating such wholesome food. Falafel was also top notch. I got spicy sauce but could’ve tolerated more heat, though didn’t miss anything because the flavours were POW. Overall, if I lived here I’d probably be in this place several times a week. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the chef was also super friendly. Keep up the magic, CHICK PEA. you’ve got something special here.

Michelle Nice big portions and fresh ingredients. Probably one of the best chicken salads I’ve had because it was loaded with juicy chicken slices! Eggplant side was also delicious. The place was fairly empty/peaceful on a weekday early evening.

Zoe Daniel Brilliant pub - lovely staff and the atmosphere was really welcoming. We had dogs and children and they were so helpful with everything without us having to ask. We had lunch and all loved the food. (the duck chips were really tasty) Would definitely go again!

ANDREA BENSON Gorgeous friendly country pub with open fires making it really cosy! ☺️ The staff are lovely, we always feel looked after when visiting. Excellent food, especially the rustic bread and steak pie!! Highly recommend the Sunday lunch too.

marc sibley We had lunch at the Chequers and opted for sharing plates - the food was delicious - flavoursome, perfectly cooked and presented. We also have to mention the service - Polite, attentive (but no overly so) , professional - great service inline with the food. Will definitely be going again and fully recommend it.

Martin Bridge A very smart inn/restaurant with a great view of the river. We stopped here on our Thames Path walk on a rainy day, a little wet and muddy, along with our dog. Only had a quick drink in the lovely bar (traditional oak beam & rustic) and dried ourselves out a little over a pint. The staff were so welcoming and made us feel at home. Many thanks!!
