Restaurants in Milcombe
Horse & Groom Inn
Milcombe, BanburyThe food was very tasty but everything was covered in coriander which is not to my liking. I can understand it as a garnish but when it's on every dish in great quantities it's a bit much for me. Had chicken jalfrezi, mixed grill, pilau rice and garlic naan between two people, with wings and chilli prawns to start. The amount of food was plenty and we even had leftovers to take home. The price was over what I would expect to pay. The jalfrezi was about double the price you would pay from a takeaway or more traditional Indian restaurant and I'm not sure why. The atmosphere was nice and chilled and the service was impeccable so no complaints there. The pub itself is very quaint with a wood burning fire and Tudor beams which set the tone nicely. Overall, with a little tweak on pricing it's a very nice eating experience. You can get the same quality food locally for a good deal less too. 3.5 to 4 stars seems fair.

The Duck on the Pond
Main street, South Newington, BanburyWe stayed nearby and came here spontaneously for lunch. Everything was exquisite. My boyfriend voted it to be in his top 10 lunches hahaHe had the 3 course menu and each one was incredible, the cheese and beer soup was delicious so was the pork and custard desert. I had the poached chicken, which was nice, although I think I prefer a crispy skin but that's on me.However the meat was still delicious and so were the sides and gravy.Service was fab and attentive. We got a little greetings from the chef at the beginning, which is always a nice touch and a little chocolate to finishThe table was set beautifully and everything was spot on. Great small selection of beers.Nothing to complain
