Reviews in Oxfordshire

good food good service good atmosphere not bad value

We had a chicken and mushroom pie on Friday and it was superb. My Dad is 87 and he said it was the best pie that he’d ever tasted. We’ll be back soon.

Lovely meal but rather disappointed as we all checked the menu online and all chose what we would have only to find they change menu daily

The Abingdon Arms in Beckley is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, everything was flawless. The setting is stunning, with breathtaking views across the Otmoor that perfectly complement the warm and welcoming atmosphere inside. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful without ever being overbearing. Every member of staff made us feel at home. The food was simply excellent. Each dish was beautifully presented, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavour. You can tell that local, seasonal ingredients are at the heart of the menu. The balance of traditional pub favourites with creative touches makes it a truly memorable dining experience. It’s rare to find a place that combines such a spectacular location, first-class service, and top-quality food, but The Abingdon Arms does it effortlessly. Without doubt one of the very best pubs in Oxfordshire. Highly recommended—we’ll be back again and again

I went for an incredible Sunday lunch. The beef was tender , the gravy deep in flavour and actual real roast potatoes and a great selection of fresh vegetables. Then cauliflower cheese. Just fantastic but notable for its cooking. The homemade apple pie , just heaven. I love the atmosphere of the Abingdon Arms and 5 mins from my home I feel as though I am in the countryside.

A happy occasion with only one proviso: the 4 roast lunches were beautifully cooked but lukewarm by the time they reached us.

A really nice meal in a good location, can’t fault the food or service We will definitely be coming back

Lovely meal friendly staff

Great location , ambience and service. Food ok - except for the s as pole pie! Poor.

Beware. The a la carte menu offered only 3 mains as pizzas were on offer. This was not listed on line when I booked for lunch out with visiting relatives. Very disappointing. The mains were poor too.

The food was amazing and the landlord so welcoming. We were up for a week from Surrey and had just the best evening in the Abingdon Arms.

Delicious food and convivial atmosphere. The perfect place to enjoy a pub meal with friends.

A great location with beautiful views and space. The pub was really comfortable, the staff were very helpful and the food was very nice with generous portions. I look forward to coming back again soon.

Excellent place with delicious food will definitely return.

What a treat, pizzas were excellent, particularly the duck topping

It is always a treat to go to your Pub. Great food, very welcoming staff and wonderful space. Thank you!

Spent a very pleasant evening in the garden on Friday. The food was very good, and excellent value for money. The staff were polite and attentive. An ideal country pub.

Great food - had the fried chicken eggs Benedict, the haddock omelette and the french toast. Great server - so helpful and cheerful! Would recommend
