Gardeners Retreat - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Patryk Omieczyński One of the best pizzas we have ever eaten. The dough is as soft as a cloud. Very tender and fluffy. In the place it is made you wouldnt expect something this good. Fully deserving of their rating. Just 11/10 !

H L Ordered The Old Shed Breakfast, it comes with two slices of bacon, two sausages, grilled tomato and mushroom, a small cup of beans, two sunny side up fried eggs, a small hash brown, and four slices of toast (you get a choice of brown or white). To top it off, they make a great flat white.

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

Colleen Evans Staying in the area with work and called in without a booking; I was immediately impressed with how busy it was for a Wednesday evening, always a good sign of a quality place! I was welcomed warmly and shown to a table. The food was amazing from start to finish and I was made to feel very well looked after. Its a shame I dont actually live nearby otherwise I would certainly be going back there!

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!

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.
