Full pub on a Wednesday night. Starter of pate was excellent but main courses were poor. Two ham main courses were rather skimpy. Chicken main course was tuff and inedible , whilst scampi were almost non existent within a big batter case. The land lady appeared and failed to apologise, indeed spoke down to us and was almost rude. Probably a bad night but it was the rude landlady that will mean that we won’t be going their again.

Tucked away in the charming village of Ardington, in the beautiful Vale of the White Horse, and with my wife and two eldest granddaughters, we enjoyed a lovely lunch. Pleasantly greeted, and courteously served, we received generous portions of beautifully prepared and cooked dishes, at very reasonable prices. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience, and I can thoroughly recommend it.

Food and Service is Excellent. Lovely pub in a lovely village. We visited as a family of 7 and really enjoyed are meals. The landlady made us feel so welcome as did her staff. We will definitely be returning

Lovely pub in the pretty village of Ardington. Small car park, but room to park on roads nearby. (Listed in Wantage, which it isn’t!). Excellent service, extensive menu with delicious food nicely presented - a most enjoyable experience. It was extremely busy, but the service was excellent.

The setting is in a lovely village and has a car park .The lunch was of a high quality. There is an option to dine outside in better weather. I have dined here with my family on several occasions as it is convenient to meet up there.

Six of us had drinks and an evening meal on a Saturday night. Everything was perfect. The staff were welcoming, attentive, helpful, and actually remembered who was having what without having to ask "who is having the steak & ale pie". Everyone enjoyed their meals and the vegetables were properly cooked, not half raw as is often the trend. It was warm, comfortable and clean. There was no automatic service charge and the final bill was good value. Even the coffee was extraordinarily good, not bitter like in places where they do not bother to clean their filters. Altogether a wholly pleasurable experience.

A high quality service in a village pub of character, with superb food. Front of house staff couldn't be more polite and friendly without intruding. A wonderful place for a birthday meal.
