The Plough Inn - West Oxfordshire

During our recent holiday in the area, my wife and I had a delightful meal at this restaurant. The food was top-notch and the staff were incredibly warm and attentive. We truly appreciate the wonderful evening we had. Thank you!

My family and I were on a trip and decided to have dinner at a local pub. The staff were friendly and welcoming when we arrived. We ordered buffalo chicken wings, tempura prawns, and nachos as starters from a menu that looked promising. However, we were disappointed with the portion sizes - only 4 tempura prawns, 3 wings, and a small bowl of nachos with squirty cream and runny guacamole. The dishes were overpriced at £8 each and did not meet our expectations. We decided to return to our accommodation for dinner instead, as we felt it would be a better option than spending more money on expensive food. To add to our disappointment, we were overcharged for our drinks, resulting in a bill of £48 for 3 starters and 2 drinks.

We used to frequent this pub about a year ago on our way back from Bampton Garden Centre. However, it was taken over and we were denied even a drink because we hadn't made a reservation. I'm happy to report that the pub now has new management and has returned to its old, friendly self. It has a lovely homely atmosphere and offers a more traditional menu with very freshly prepared food. We look forward to visiting again on our next trip to Bampton.

Stopped by for a selection of light lunches which we shared, delicious and freshly cooked. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff, well with the visit. Thankyou!

Googled the opening time and it said opens at 5pm, walked there from Airbnb we stayed at and the sign outside said open from 12pm till 11pm. Dog friendly which was nice, however, I ordered a pint of tap water for my daughter and a pint of Coke Zero for me… £7.50. Not sure if that’s the going rate in these parts but I thought that was very expensive. Plus, I’m not sure my Coke Zero pint was just coke, it had a Jack Daniel's whiff and tasted like it had something other than coke in it. Specifically asked for Coke Zero. Didn’t want to ask as to not seem silly, but has put me off going for drinks again. Shame as it’s the only pub in the village.
