I visited The Duck and Pond this afternoon with a special guest who loves a Sunday roast. We made it our hobby to tour Oxfordshire in search of the perfect Sunday dinner, and we were not disappointed. Upon entering the pub, we were informed that they were fully booked, but we were offered a table near the door. The drink service was quick and I highly recommend trying the local beer, it was delicious. After a short wait, a waiter kindly offered us a table where the previous guests had finished, which was a nice gesture. We ordered two roast dinners and were pleasantly surprised with fresh bread and butter. The roast dinner was excellent, with tender meat and flavorful potatoes. The meal also...
Oh my, what a truly eggcellent find. I had visited here a long time ago under previous owners, so was expecting decent pub grub. But we were truly taken aback by the quality of the food we were served. The chicken liver parfait was, quite...simply, parfait (perfect), the crayfish bisque was souper, the whipped chocolate dessert unbeatable and the wine list an absolute corker. Seriously, duck and food puns aside, this pub is a perfect place to enjoy sumptuous cuisine. And you can even bring the dog. You'd be barking not to try it.
My friend and I met up for dinner at this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We were already familiar with the previous establishment owned by the same managers/owners, so we had high expectations. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations! The chicken parfait appetizer was fresh and delicious, the homemade bread was amazing, and the new bottle fillet steak was simply outstanding. The service was fantastic, the food was divine, and the restaurant had a beautiful interior decor. What's not to love?

I made a reservation for Sunday lunch after hearing about the new owners. It did not disappoint. The menu was intriguing and the dishes were executed excellently. The sirloin steak on the Sunday special menu is a rarity nowadays, but not only was it cooked perfectly to my liking, it was also a generous portion. The vegetables were also well-prepared and delicious. I will definitely be returning to sample more dishes from the full menu in the near future.
Home grown and seasonal elements, super presentation but most importantly taste, taste, taste! I had mussels, belly pork and an amazing pud, my husband had crispy pigs head and beautifully cooked duck. The place is cosy country farmhouse chic, crockery makes it feel like a...really special and elevated experience, great selection of wines and beers and something for everyone on the menu. Can't recommend enough, and pricing very reasonable
We visited the pub after a recommdation, very disappointed, excellent service,unfortunately the food didn't match,overcooked lamb we were told it was served pink,it came well done,only veg were 4 small pieces of squash. We had the cheese board,3 thin slices of bland cheese and raw...honey on a spoon,I assume the ho ey was to add some flavour to the cheese.We will definitely not be returning.
I have booked on Saturday lunch for a large family group from far and wide and the new owners were very courteous and during our visit. the service and eating were both very good and the pub itself is very attractive. we used both the outside seat and the inside area and there was nothing to blame.

We had a very nice lunch. Nice touches included home made bread and butter and freshly made chocolates with the bill. We had Duck, Lamb and Fish and Chips. All cooked well with polite prompt service. We will be back to try the Sunday lunch...menu. Well done to all.
