Friends Cafe and restaurant - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Mark Craig Food was incredible! Mussels, Scallops and Prawns with the chilli and ginger sauce were amazing. Steak melted in your mouth, the garlic, shallot and mushroom went great with it. Lovely setting, very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely be going back. Very Impressed.

Hayley Pheiffer Absolutely beautiful pub. Friendly staff. So glad we booked here for Sunday lunch. Food choice and quality were brilliant and suited all of our party. One of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had. Unable to comment regarding rooms as we didnt stay here.

gary brimson Back after many years to find the Restaurant in full swing which is great. We had a really nice server who was super helpful throughout. Food was first class, all courses. Very flavourful meats and the sauces/jus so rich. Nice to find cheeses which were slightly different to the usual standard fare and very tasty home made crackers to accompany. The one thing wed prefer is the quince and almond tart seemed more like a cake than a tart, but again very tasty. Good selection of wines, with a nice rest of the world selection. Wont wait as long to return again.

Lisette and Sezzy This was the best friends’ catch-up on a grey and rainy November Saturday. We had the best time being looked after by warm and wonderful David, who really made our day! 5 stars also for the tea selection and the fabulous patisseries. What a fantastic pastry chef you have. The scones were among the best we’ve ever had with ample clotted cream and jam! Last but not least, we enjoyed the lively atmosphere in the light and bright Alice restaurant.

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.

Megan Fairhead We went in for a spontaneous roast on Sunday and we are SO glad we did. We chatted with locals when we were waiting to be seated and the fire was crackling away in the corner- it was the perfect Sunday feeling. The food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were perfect! You can tell that Stuart the chef takes pride in his cooking as even the different meats had their own designated gravy - you dont get this often! Overall, we had a lovely afternoon at The Queens Head and Debbie went above and beyond to accommodate us. I would recommend booking to ensure you secure your spot as this little pub is really thriving - thanks for having us!
