The Royal Sun Pub Reviews

We visited at the weekend and this pub was very quiet and a great atmosphere.
I had the fish and chips and it was great!
The fish very fresh and batter was crispy and not doggy at all!
The chips were sooo chunky they were more like potatoes and I needed to add loads of vinegar to reach the middle.

Decent beer. A family pub atmosphere. Quite busy on Sundays.

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Staff were helpful and efficient. Good atmosphere as great for families and couples. Beautiful views over the Bristol channel. Food good quality and excellent value. Had a lovely lunch.

Superb food. Good service. Clean comfortable. Steak night unbelievable

Wear smart casual to this pub. Lots of tables to enjoy a meal at. A bit more upperclass than the pub in the village. Food are tasty and reasonably priced. Reservations may be required during the busy times. For more info and contact details see their web site.

Excellent spot for lunch or dinner. Lovely real ale.

Good food. Good service. Again today. Food was good, service good. Lovely yellow rose on every table!

Good food, service fairly quick and is easy to find.

Great food and service
I would recommend for Sunday lunch

Nice pub, nice decor, friendly staff and very nice pub lunch! Will be back

Christmas lunch an absolute delight. My party contained 2 people who are habitual complainers. They can always cook or provide better, but found nothing to complain about, except that there was too much food!

Good range of beer and affordable prices. Nice atmosphere and typically english. Parking available.

Lovely pub, great staff.. maybe skip on the chicken burger though. Last week the beef burger was amazing. Chicken not so much.
But still worth the visit!

Service was great, really efficent and friendly barmaid. Food was a shocker. Something out of a packet. Pity, it's a lovely place.

I had the beef and ale pie with a pint of hook Norton the best

Lovely place to eat, excellent friendly service and very efficient. Beautiful food would recommend.

Dissapponting food. First of all it came too quickly. When food comes too quickly it's not a good sign. Sunday roast was not what we expected from the reviews we have read. Potatoes were either from frozen or kept too long in the water before roasting. Soggy and no taste whatsoever. Tasteless gravy. Meat not too bad but a bit overcooked.

Very nice staff though.
Relaxing atmosphere.

We might be back to give it another chance.

The menu and the atmosphere are lovely. Very good for a lunch out.

Dreadful owner who treated everyone rudely and disrespectfully. Can t even believe someone running a restaurant could be so sour. The food was bland and the potatoes were so dry and tasteless. Bathroom door was difficult to open from the bathroom side. Watched three people struggle to open a heavy door with a tiny metal knob up top. Also dangerous to have the door right next to the sink & hand dryer. See photo.

It was hot inside and honestly we wished we didn t stop there. Not much good to say except the waitresses were nice.

Beautiful Sunday roast beef, all cooked perfectly and a guiness to wash it down. Nice 17th century atmosphere to the pub and importantly clean and modern toilets!

We came here last Thursday for dinner with my partners mother. We received great service even though we were seated in the garden (upon our own request) and our waitress was very attentive. The food was delicious and the portions are huge! I had to take half of mine home, which provided lunch the next day. The waiting time to be served and for food to arrive is sheer non-existent. Also really pleased to say that the facilities are spotless and there are plenty of Covid measure in place, such as hand sanitiser at the entrance, a track and trace and one way system throughout. Just noticed that the Royal Sun is part of the Eat Out to Help Out Scheme and secretly planning our next visit!

Nice, very comfortable and cozy after a cool afternoon

Great food and fantastic staff. Also great for just a drink.

Excellent. Couldn't fault it. Great food. All very high standard. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff and of course a lovely Sunday roast, I recommend you give it a try

Have just visited the royal sun , we have had an outstanding Roast , amazing friendly service beautiful deserts, we will Definately be returning, certainly didn't miss the carvery.

Good food, quick service, not great for sitting outside.

Great country pub, went on a Sunday and the roast is excellent generous portions and very tasty. Been here a few times and always busy, recommend booking if more than 2 people.

Excellent Sunday dinner. We both chose a 3 meat roast and everything was delicious and hot. Very warm welcome and the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a return visit to be planned and will be recommending highly to others. Many thanks to those that work here.

Excellent food, good service very clean and inviting. Highly recommended.

Struggled for staff on the day and was busy. Food came out on time and was decent

The food was lovely and the place itself is warm and inviting. I will be visiting again.

Very helpful and friendly barman. The location is good for transport. My minor quibble is the food menu - there is a lack of vegetarian options. The veggie burger was ok, and there is a veggie Wellington but I'd like to see some more inventive / other options.

A quiet pub off on it's own, featuring a nice menu.

Most excellent lamb rump and sirloin steak. Nice location and ambience.

Great lunch friendly atmosphere, lovely wine. Well worth a visit....

The Sunday roast is the best in Oxfordshire, and the Landlords, Debbie and Andy made us so welcome, it was definitely worth the drive over. We'll be seeing you again

Decent pub on the main A44 between Oxford and Woodstock. Can get busy at times. Some good beers on tap, and food's a reasonable price

Nice lunch in the garden
Could comfortably manage social distancing
