Simply outstanding. The food is excellent, the atmosphere suits every season, and the mixologist is a master of his craft. A small, but carefully considered menu, ensures each dish is of the highest culinary quality and (most importantly) extremely tasty. On top of this, the service is professional, yet warm and friendly.My wife and I went out for our first evening meal, since the birth of our son, and everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. What is more, the ambience of the restaurant made us feel like we had escaped to a Michelin star restaurant for the night.Home Sweet Home is where the (exceptional) food is found.

We have just returned from the most delicious meal at the Home Sweet Home in Roke, Oxfordshire, and felt that something should be said about the experience.Firstly, the customer service from Lizzy and Neil was second to none. They both made us feel as if nothing was too much trouble and they started by serving us delicious home-made flavoured popcorn and home baked bread and butter. This was just an appetiser whilst we waited for our main meal to be freshly cooked and delivered. The batter on the fish was so light and crisp all the way through with no soggy underside which has been my experience in other establishments. The dessert was different and at first looked too fussy but on tasting it was heaven on a spoon. My compliments to Dom and Dan in the kitchen, you are an excellent team producing good, well-cooked food with an exceptional attention to detail. All in all, the complete experience was one that we both wish to repeat and will have no hesitation in booking again after the Christmas rush is over. Thank you also for not rushing us out of the restaurant after the meal was over. Have a Happy Christmas and New Year see you again in 2024.Katy & JackieParking: Whilst the parking area is full of potholes there was plenty of parking space on our visit.

I rarely rave like this but having had dinner at HSH last night I can’t help it. The welcome was beyond friendly, the attention perfectly timed….we felt looked after but not over powered. The food was divine….. definite top marks to the chef. But the over arching wow was the attention to detail of the decor, the food and drinks and the little extras that kept arriving especially the homemade chocolates at the end. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy another HSH experience.

First time visit and very impressed. Welcoming host and the open log fire was great on a dull, cold day. 3 real ales available, I had the Wadsworth IPA which was in excellent condition. We each had a burger and these were excellent too. Altogether, a great destination pub.

Great place to eat. The welcome was very warm, and the service was excellent.The food was very good and the price, whilst on the higher side, was worth every penny.Thanks to all involved (so sorry I have no names), including the bar manager, the waitress/bossess and the chef/boss.(Hope you will forgive me for the descriptions)We will definitely be coming back x

Such a lovely pub with an amazing service and passionate people working there. From fish & chips to the most intricate dish on the menu - it’s consistently so good. Drinks menu changes ever so often as well, and their barman is so knowledgeable, accommodating and attentive. This place really feels like home sweet home, and the fact that I never managed to take any photos here only proves it (because it’s so good to even remember to take the phone out for photos).

This is our 2nd visit and we were very impressed both times! It's lovely inside and the food is amazing, every dish we have tried we have enjoyed. Both visit's the service has been great, all dishes are explained it good detail and staff are so friendly and polite. Highly recommended. Only thing I would say is a bit more background music would be nice to add to the atmosphere.
We booked a family get together at this wonderful gem of a restaurant/ pub as it was equidistant for all of us. Small attention to detail in the atmosphere .the setting .the staff.the toilets and of course the great food made our get together even more special. Thank

Booked a table for lunch after a dog walk along the nearby Thames Path. It was sunny so we sat outside although the dogs would have been welcome in the bar too. From the outset the service was excellent and the presentation beautiful: 5* treatment! We ordered fish & chips and before it arrived we were brought home made smoky barbecue popcorn and home made bread and butter. The fish & chips was fabulous - light and crisp batter and not remotely greasy. Delicious! We didn’t have room for dessert this time, but we will definitely be back. The dogs were genuinely welcome too - in fact it took an extra 10 minutes to leave as both staff and other customers wanted to chat to our terriers! This pub is a gem.
