Fantatsic experience - superb food with perfect pairing of wines. Very knowledgable and attentive staff who were very 'kind' when a loud table were intruding on our enjoyment and, unpromtped, they offered us dessert in the lounge. One of the best meal eperiences may friends and I have ever had. Thank you!!

This bar and restaurant is very welcoming and comfortable. The choice of food is quite different from the norm, and is presented fantastically. Each dish is also extremely delicious. Being a bar as well, the drinks choice is very wide indeed.

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.

Our third time here, once again not disappointed. Luckily for us we had made a reservation, there was a queue of people waiting. Our food order was taken quickly, the only minor thing was that our drinks were served in a warm glass so the drinks were not as cold as we would have like. All our food was delicious. will certainly be booking again.

About the restaurant

The Fishes is a hidden gem. Quite a big gem, too. An imposing Victorian building set in acres of wooded grounds leading down to the banks of Seacourt Stream. The deck that wraps around the conservatory offers a rare opportunity in land-locked Oxford to dine outside with an idyllic view. In recognition of this, the Fishes was named Al Fresco Dining Pub of the Year in 2006, as well winner of The Public Vote in Oxfordshire Restaurant awards 2012 making it one of the best restaurants in Oxford.
