Visited during the first few days of reopening for indoor dining. Everything was very organised and the restaurant was clean and spacious. The service was quick and staff extra friendly. I had the fish and chips, which were fresh and extra tasty. Stayed for a couple more drinks as atmosphere was welcoming and peaceful

The meal was just amazing! The roast beef was to die for! I have not had a generous helping that size, I don't think ever. The Staff were brilliant and service just 1st Class. Nobody offers this kind of value for money anymore, cannot recommend the pub more highly!!!

Came back to this lovely pub after not being for years and had a cracking lunch. Halloumi fries and tuna baguette. Simple but tasty. Last time we had one of their homemade pies which was delicious but wanted something lighter for lunch. Nice local ale, Wadsworth IPA, so all in all a fantastic little pit stop on our quick trip to the corresponds.

Wonderful little gem of a pub in Burford. Wish the weather was better as we could have sat in their lovely garden. But we were inside with a window and it was great. Their pies are what they are known for. We had a steak and ale pie and a lamb and apricot pie. The lamb was to die for. Very tender lamb in a sweet/savory sauce and the pie crust was definitely homemade. I would highly recommend the pub, especially if you like IPA beer and good food. Will go there again!!
