Best English Restaurants in East Hendred

A good place to relax and capture the atmosphere of Oxford

We are two old friends meeting again after several years. We had a delicious lunch in the garden (mussels and pork). The young lady who served us, Erin, was very attentive and did a great job. It was lovely relaxing afternoon in the sun. We will certainly come to The Royal Oak again.

We had a really lovely evening at The Swan. Delicious food and fantastic service. Definitely our new favourite!

We had an excellent lunch at The White Oak. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The food was splendid, with compliments to the chef. In view of this, it seems churlish to flag the following. Hopefully, the comments will prove helpful to the management. 1) why does The White Oak charge the full £27 for the two course set lunch, when those items chosen do not meet this £27 threshold? In short, we are paying over and above the menu prices, if itemised separately. b) why no calories shown on the menu? We had thought this to be a legal requirement. c) why no main course salad(s) on the menu? There were a selection under the previous management, and not everyone wants to eat a "heavy" meal at lunchtime! Do please consider a salad(s) option. Despite our quibbles, we would happily come again, though the seating pods in the garden are something of an eyesore and the area was so much nicer without them!!

As always an excellent experience at Bassett Down. The pleasant surroundings and food excellent, together with friendly and efficient staff made our lunch with friends very enjoyable. Thank you again. x
