The Crooked Billet - South Oxfordshire

Outstanding Sunday lunch, great range of starters and the best roast beef with generous sides included. As for the puddings the chocolate nemesis was a highlight. Good range of vegetarian and fish options. Service was exceptional. Have been coming here for many years and it is consistently high quality and reliable.

We had fabulous time here with our friends. Quaint little lovely Country pub tucked away in a lovely rural setting. Truly picturesque pub. Food was outstanding, lovely selection of drinks service was great the minute we arrived. Friendly and great atmosphere.

Self-taught chef Paul truly knows how to create delicious food. This restaurant may not offer fancy, artistic dishes, but you can expect generous portions of modern and wholesome English cuisine. The wine prices are fair, and there is occasionally live music in the marquee. It is definitely one of the best dining options in the south Oxfordshire area and a top choice for me.

Wow! We didn’t book in advance, thinking it would be a quiet cheeky Friday lunch as one of our ‘safe places’. How wrong were we? It was busy, which was good to see! We were greeted with a lovely warm welcome as usual, which starts the whole experience off on a brilliant start. The service was fantastic and the ability to be flexible from turning a starter into a main course with a tweak to accommodate lactose intolerance was outstanding, with a couple of different options to choose from (mussels with either a cider sauce or tomato with garlic). Never thought of mussels and tomato before but it was delicious … just from the taste I had as it was my husband’s dish! The starters of teriyaki beef riblets and open duck spring roll were delicious, as were the mussels to follow and the wrapped chicken. Never had celeriac mash before, it was so nice and wish there was more! That said we both couldn’t finish our mains so dessert was out of the question, gutted! All in all it was a lovely lunch, great food and service and not what we’d call expensive at all. We’ll definitely be back again and again as this is one of two places where the food and service is outstanding and can easily cater for allergies or intolerances.

We had the most wonderful time at our niece’s wedding yesterday. We were made to feel so welcome by the fabulous team and the food was delicious . The venue was beautifully decorated, the building itself has such a cosy and elegant charm to it. It couldn’t have been a more perfect day.
