The food is outstanding and so is the service. I think about the french toast and brunch cocktails from five little pigs constantly, if I could eat here every day, I would. The service is attentive but not overbearing and the atmosphere is so friendly and chill.

Lovely food, lovely flavours, great service. The yurt sort of muffles sound so although it's small, it's not noisy.

I am a regular at Pho but I was particularly impressed with the staff yesterday (21/06/25). I took a friend who came for the first time and she was worried if the curry that she wanted to order would be too spicy. The staff (lady) was very understanding and gave my friend some curry (in a small bowl) for her to taste first. What an extraordinary service! (I didn’t get the lady’s name). The other staff (male) explaining the gluten free option was also brilliant! Thank you.

We offer a humble menu of traditional home-cooked pub dishes, using the best local producers and seasonal ingredients.

It was such a good experience! We arrived at The Folly about 20-30 minutes before they offered their afternoon tea service, and after we realized we got the bread board which was fantastic. By the time we were done with the bread board it was time for tea, our waitress took our tea requests and within probably 5-6 minutes our tea was made and given to us. And about 10 minutes later we were served our food that comes with the tea, it came with all the usual food that comes with an afternoon tea. I am not a sandwich person soI didn't love the sandwiches however the rest of my table definitely did, the scones we hot with fresh cloted cream and small jars of jam. And lastly the dessert, I am not sure what everything was but the two out of the three things that I tried, two small not great things was that there was a small hair on one of the pastries but it was not a big deal and we just didn't eat that one, and towards the end of our stay we did not receive the greatest service, and that wasn't even a big deal because we did enjoy our time there. But overall everything tasted fresh and delicious, the ambiance was nice and charming, and I hope that the next time I come to Oxford I can have a cup of tea and some delicious food at The Folly!

About the restaurant

The Bear & Ragged Staff in Cumnor is a world away from the Newbury & Swindon roads that stream past only a mile from its door. The heart of the pub is a glorious Tudor beauty. Ancient fireplaces, flagstone floors, and mullioned windows with carved lintels make the bar one of the finest anywhere. A comfortable eatery, conservatory, and South-facing terrace provide spaces for every mood – and winding stairs lead to cosy bedrooms with old oak doorways and beamed ceilings.
