Restaurants in Kidlington

Miller & Carter Kidlington

We had such a lovely experience at Miller & Carter. Sherman was our waiter and was absolutely lovely, really friendly, professional and attentive without being over the top. He made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel really welcome. His service definitely made our evening even more enjoyable!

Off The Hook (Kidlington)

I had fish chips and curry sauce and it was delicious. The owner was so friendly and welcoming, even offering us free samples of food while we waited for our order. You can tell he really cares about quality and good service and it absolutely shows in the food. We tried some battered sausage and it was so high quality, all sourced from local suppliers! We will be back.

The Oxford Arms

Lovely little pub we found on our stay to the Cotswolds. Very cosy interior & exterior, lovely dinner menu, staff very friendly & lovely atmosphere. No faults! ?

The Kings Arms

Food is great and the menu changes according to season. There is a lovely bar area with plenty of room if you prefer to eat there. Massive function room with its own bar and open as an overflow from the bar. There is also a nice shady courtyard between the bar and function room. Regular guest beers all well kept. Occasional live music in the function room. Very friendly staff.

The Jolly Boatman

Celebrating my mother‘s 80th birthday yesterday at this most wonderful enchanting come outside Pub, we were absolutely everyone with the most incredible buffet, the food was just the highest standard. I met all our expectations for an 80th birthday party 60 people were suitably accommodated in this Pub and looked after so exceptionally well by the staff with the party being coordinated by Ollie. Can’t recommend Pub hardly enough for party event events, everything was amazing.

Gurkha Village

This is my second visit to Gurkha Village, my first was dining in, and today I ordered a takeaway. Ordering online was so easy and convenient, and I really appreciated the text update letting me know when my food would be ready. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the staff are always friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back whether it’s dining in or ordering a takeaway.

The Royal Sun

First time here having checked out the website. Service was excellent - our waitress was a delight. We had delicious selection of Indian dishes which were very well prepared, cooked and presented.
We sat outside in the garden which was very peaceful and we could see the interior was also very well presented.
Very good to have such a good establishment so near to Oxford with great facilities including parking which is always a benefit
We shall retur

The Black Bull

The Black Bull is by far the best pub in Kidlington. Great staff, great atmosphere and fantastic clientele. The landlady Claire is very special, in more ways than one.
Highly recommend this wet led pub.

The Crown

Great pub! Friendly bar staff, excellent selection of drinks, especially spirits. Garden is lovely. They also have different food vans cooking in the car park, such a lovely idea. Really enjoyed our evening at The

The Boat Inn

Great Little pub, in a lovely setting and a big garden. That hasn't changed a lot over the years.
Food is sadly very average and it's a shame because with a few very simple changes it could be good.
My burger with great chips was all brilliant except for the 'patty' . It was a cheap, over cooked leathery disc of something. Totally spoiled what was a really well put together burger. It would have been so easy to have just pressed some mince together with a bit of seasoning.. hey presto.. a smash burger!
Why oh why do people buy these awful 'burgers' when they can be made so easily is beyond me. Anyway rant over .
Go to The Boat Inn it's a really good pub, just don't expect great food.

burger bar

Oxford house cafe

Lovely ittle cafe, had the mexican panini and milkshake. Really well made and well looked after by the lady wprking there, only minor thing is it was a bit hot walking probably from the ovens.

Ovisher Indian Restaurant & Takeaway

Service was top tier, food was amazing, music was out off this world. Everything was pleasant like a surprise that lives up to the hype! I highly recommend this as your new go to restaurant!! I know I will !

Annie's Tea Rooms

What a wondeful find!
We moored up in Thrupp as there are a couple of pubs but came across this fabulous Tea Shop/Cafe. They have their own blend of tea which was delightfully robust, just what was needed on a damp day and all their cakes are made on the premises (so they know exactly what is in them!) There is an all day breakfast menu and they can even do a full afternoon tea with a bit of notice! We will most definitely be returning!
Also dogs were welcomed so big ticks all round!

Costa Coffee

Me and my wife went in for a coffee the lads that Served us was lovely
Very polite. The only thing was the was a crap out side the shop that stank the shop serviced food this not good

Alberts Fish Bar

Chips were pretty good to be fair but I was quite surprised about the cost and porton size was extremley small and was on the more expensive side. Would consider another visit if in the area.

The Star

I went in here to get some food and then forgot to buy a drink, I asked how much it was and thought I was told 30p but it turned out it was 90p! I thought that’s such a bargain ha!

Eastern Kitchen

Lovely staff and consistently great takeaway. We're currently big fans of the tofu with black bean sauce and the tofu with cashews and yellow bean sauce.

If you're collecting, note that there's no parking outside – please don't stop on the double yellow lines – but you can usually find space in the service road 200 m to the north or in the evenings in Benmead Road just along and opposite.

Domino's Pizza - Oxford - Kidlington
