Fallowfields - Vale of White Horse

I can confidently say that this was one of the best meals I have had in Oxfordshire, and we enjoyed it in the sunny garden at the back of the hotel. It was a delightful experience.

Wonderful meal. Stunning food, really good service, beautiful crockery, rather expensive so not an every day food experience. The decor could be updated (particually the lounge furniture), but a beautiful location. The tables in the dining room are really well spaced for individual, private dining in a large room.

Very enjoyable evening at this top class restaurant excellent welcome, service and superb food my lamb main course was sublime. Great wine parings too. Will be going back!

Our family party was celebrating a 103rd birthday. There was a timeless quality to the occasion: old and less old felt thoroughly pampered (especially with the amazing meal and very much at home. Thank you, everyone at Fallowfields, for making us so welcome. We loved the house and the garden, and the friendly politeness of the staff. Perhaps the repeated urge to 'enjoy ' might be given some context! (Suggestion: 'I hope you enjoy this course. ' We most certainly did enjoy our party at Fallowfields.

Whilst the venue was very nice and the warm welcome at reception was good that is all I can say about the whole experience, nice and good. The food in general was good but needed a lot of seasoning. One course burnt your mouth whilst the watermelon sorbet had melted so much it was a drink. Service wasn't as professional as the venue suggests it should be. We were half way through our taster menu and the waitress asked us what menu we would like! They added on a very large service charge to the bill which left a slightly bitter after taste too. Overall wouldn't recommend as we thought it was over priced when you're comparing it to a Michelin stared restaurant price.
