Penny Black in Cherwell

If it weren't for the friendliness and helpfulness of Kaz (middle aged female) this review would have been below 2 stars.I had to ask for fresh Quorn sausages due to mine being overcooked. This was done by Kaz. I didn't realise that the portion was micro sized and won't order small vegetarian all day brunch again.If you want to take a photo of the inside you may need to ask permission of the staff. This is the first time I've asked not to take one without staff's consent if they're in the picture.

Fantastic value for money. Food very good. Fast service. Only one issue is the place could do with a make over. Without the last comment would have given 5 stars.

Bench seat was quite uncomfortable but meal and beer was fine. Spoons is like McDonald's in that you generally know what you're going to get and it might not ever be the best but the formula works which is why you go back.

Enjoyed my meal with friends. The wall mounted menuing system for GF ingredients is a pain though, as it is sited in the way of other customers. I felt I was encroaching on other diners space. Bring back the GF paper menu please.

Typical Spoons really, a little messy and sticky but food was prompt and good value really… £6.45 I think it was for a curry and a pint… can’t complain at that!

Popular pub in town as beer is cheaper than elsewhere, so can be loud and lively in the evening. A paved garden at the back with lots of tables inside past the bar.

It's pretty chilled place and the food is good. Definitely worth the price. I sat outdoors. On each table there is an qr code which allows you to order at your table. There are still safety measures in place, so you can social distance inside and outside.

Relatively pleasant dinning experience, reduced menu however fast service and pleasant staff, dropped two stars for the cleanliness of the toilets, no soap hand sanitizer etc!

Very nice place good food and great choice of drinks. It is one of those you could stay all day long and eat & drink.Good value for money considering good quality of food. Nice coffee as well!Full English breakfast 1700 calories for £5 that would keep me going all day. If not hungry plenty of choice with less calories for all tastes.I would recommend

Very nice pub with very decent food! The Curry club special menu on Thursday was great -too bad they don’t serve butter chicken. The mixed grill was a bit too dry but I love the onion rings. They also have very flexible and friendly staff!
