"We visited the Crown on Sunday . We felt customer service was poor, we waited 20 mins before we had to go and ask if anyone was able to take our order only to realise the table behind us who came in before us had also not ordered food either. We were never asked if everything ok . Other than the fact we were hungry we may have been more critical re food but it was typical pub food . We also ordered drinks and had one completely wrong . Then bill was wrong and 12% service charge which we didn’t feel was justified so had that taken off . Would we re visit? Based on our experience and possibly when other places could be tried. No. Better staff training could have made this experience more positive as clearly staff were not working as a team ."

"My other half and I had an evening meal here, which was simply the best meal out we’ve had in a long, long time. My OH had a chicken satay starter fabulous. Not too sweet, had real live bits of peanut in the sauce, and came accompanied by cucumber and salad. For mains, I had flat iron steak with pepper sauce, peppers, courgette, roast garlic and perfect chunky chips (think that was it). It was cooked to perfection and such a relief to find a pub that doesn’t roll out an overcooked steak with the ubiquitous onion rings, half a tomato, mushroom/s and skinny chips. The OH had salmon, which came with crushed new potatoes and lots of nice veg none of which he can remember this morning. Hey ho. Dessert for each of us was a pavlova with whipped cream, zingy lemon curd, raspberries and strawberries. This was just as fabulous as everything else. So impressed. Every dish was artfully presented, the flavours considered and the cooking absolutely spot on. Not a soggy vegetable in sight. Lovely people, too, our waiter was a smiley gentleman from Turkey and the chef and (we believe, although this is an assumption) his wife, who incidentally brought the food out themselves (nice touch), were Kiwis. Altogether a lovely experience and one that I recommend wholeheartedly to others."

"Although we'd not booked and there was a large group expected, the manager was extremely accommodating and gave us a perfect spot by an open fire. We're very grateful. The food was delicious! My partner had an excellent chicken and leek pie, with new potatoes and mixed vegetables. I had a fabulous pan fried goat cheese salad. The establishment is a fine one managed by someone with really high standards, and with friendly and efficient staff. Thanks, all!"

"not locally to witney we were not aware of the hand and the shears until it was recommended to us for lunch when we were in the opposite on a cold winter day. quiet there, half this afternoon, and they placed us through the log burner who kept us very tortured. I had chicken and leckagepis and my wife had a sausage sandwich so that she would also have a place for apron pain and pumpkin. everything was really skurril, including the chips that were about the best we ever had. the torte was homemade and very fleshy, the brot of the sandwiches of my wife was also homemade and surprisingly very light. may they be back in the opposite, so soon they want to fall into dinner, we discover lobster on the menu can not wait. ps the sausage sandwich was actually quite filling out so I had to help my wife with the apple crumb, also quite fab."

"A lovely old thatched pub a short walk from the station at Hanborough. I ate beef in a brioche bun with fried and salad, all cooked to perfection. The bar staff were friendly, chatty and on-point with attentive service throughout. It was a fresh but not chilly Octpber day so I sat outside in the spacious, well landscaped garden. There is also ample seating at the front of the pub and a separate indoor dining area. The pub us ideal for families with plenty of space for children to run around safely. I'd definitely come back with my wife but the pub also ideal for large groups and would be a perfect place for a Christmas or Bank Holiday meal. There is an Aunt Sally course for playing that traditional Oxfordshire game and also a sandpit for the kids. I arrived by train but there is also a car park with a number of spaces."
