The Horse And Radish - West Oxfordshire

Most disgusting place I have ever been. Dogs running around inside the kitchen, bin bags piling up next to the car park. The menu lacks choices, food is not that great either (had dog hair on my burger!! Staff looks overworked and in general not a nice pub to spend on money on! It was not a good experience, never again!

Limited lunch menu , really nice setting but not very warm Two of us had the fish which was very greasy maybe it should have been drained before plating up . Another had the Wagu burger which he raved about a lot and said it was the best burger he had ever had .

This pub is in a lovely location with great views. Service was reasonable as very busy. The mussels and burger were no longer available. We think the fish was cod but could have been anything, although it was mainly batter. My beef was cold, the roast potatoes were fluffy inside and the outside was far from crispy. The gravy was the best bit. My dessert was chocolate creamaux and the dark chocolate was served absolutely solid. Very disappointed, did not complain as someone else was paying.

We discovered this place in January 2022 and what a treat that was. Amazing menu, delicious food, real gastropub. We felt lucky and enthusiastic, as we were in the process of moving into the area. After a couple of visits, we noticed the menu narrowing down and quality lowering and not cooked very well. We gave up after a couple more visits, as it had become overpriced grub. We decided to try again in September this year. The menu wasn’t inviting, lazy, with a couple of dishes missing on the already scarce menu. But we found something we wanted and it was okay. We came back again in October. Same menu, same items missing, bread not fresh, food cooked really badly. It felt a student on a budget had put together a few ingredients to get a quick food fix. The place was empty (vs before, when it used to be bustling on a Saturday night). They need to put their act together fast before losing more customers. I hear they opened a sister place nearby. They should focus on the one place beforehand perhaps. We’re never going back. It is way overpriced to take the risk. I have a star for the staff though, because they are always so polite and helpful.

A fairly basic pub menu, but priced at the top end. The decor and location are lovely and the service from the young staff was excellent. They have good indoor and outdoor space and are dog friendly. The food was good and well cooked and presented, but there is nothing particularly interesting about the menu choices or the portion sizes to justify twenty quid for a burger. 12.5% service was added automatically. Topping out at £50pp, with modest drinks and desserts, this felt expensive. Perhaps this is what it takes for a local pub to be sustainable these days, but on a Friday night our table was one of only a handful occupied. Good for a special occasion maybe, but not a regular event.
