Restaurant at The Falkland Arms in West Oxfordshire

Love this pub. I found it 30 years ago when I was driving around literally following a rainbow 🌈 and it touched down on the roof of the pub. Back then you could get a clay pipe filled with Twist tobacco for £1, a pinch of snuff for 50p or a bag of chestnuts to roast by the fire. And ok, so maybe the clay pipes and snuff have had to go but The Falkland Arms is still my idea of the quintessential English Country pub where you can get great beer, a delicious Sunday Roast and top notch service.

Barely acceptable are the two words I could use to describe this place. Went here for some food because it was highly rated by friends, however after eating there I can safely say I will not be going back. After eating some chips and chicken there is now a thick layer of grease above my stomach acid. Then we go on to desert, good lord it was awful. The “salted caramel” ice cream tasted like a banana, and don’t even get me started on the lemon tart. That thing had been taken out of a freezer and put on a plate with 0 defrosting and yet still managed to be burnt?! Very disappointed with the whole experience. Will not be going back

Food as always is amazing! I highly recommend a visit here and if you are a vegan/veggie the choice is fantastic. Beautiful pub, lovely atmosphere, now our 'local' even though we have to drive there!

Not impressed by this pub at all.The place looked quite dirty and the food was below average. Some items were not available on the menu. I ordered the steak and asked for it to be cooked medium to well and it came out completely raw. Even after it had been corrected, the meal as a whole was very basic. My husband had the pie which was over cooked and the pastry almost burnt. He had already finished eating by the time my meal had returned so we essentially ate lunch separately.Would not recommend this pub and it’s not a place we will be returning to.

My partner somehow found this place and decided we had to drive in from London just to give it a go. We’ve never been so happy we did that. We arrived right at peak lunchtime, but managed to find a table outside in the sunshine. They had a really nice selection of drinks available, so I had a Prosecco and my hubs had an Italian beer. The food menu was extensive, but the pub sadly hadn’t received a meat delivery that day and so had no beef/ham/burgers. Disappointed at first, we ordered the fish and chips and the mackerel fish cakes. We couldn’t be happier with these choices. The fish was fresh and crispy, the mackerel was also fresh and really nicely flavored with dill and beets.The pub is centrally located in Great Tew, and a nice spot for taking a circular walk afterwards. Our dog was welcomed inside and out, which was an added bonus.

Friendly staff and lovely food. A really nice pub would recommend a visit

It is all about the staff!What made the difference, and turned our weekend into a great success, was the friendliness of the staff. The managers and bar staff were really helpful and welcoming (in the evening and at breakfast) and seemed to take an interest in us. We had a good meal on Friday evening although it did seem that the large number of mains on offer were putting undue pressure on the kitchen staff. When we had a chance to chat to the 2 chefs later in the evening, we found them enthusiastic and passionate about food - it would have been good to see what they could produce were they not restricted to the proscribed Wadworth's menu.I would definitely recommend The Falkland Arms and we would return if the occasion arose.The Falkland Arms is a very pretty place and due to its age, we understand the rooms will be small. Our room and bathroom were very small , but were decorated with a comfortable bed, and we felt the pricing (which includes breakfast) took the room size into account.

Disappointing food. A new menu was coming the next week, so a lot of things were no longer available. The potatoes were undercooked, the egg with the gammon (which was the 3rd choice!) was overcooked.The steak was okIt would have been helpful to have been told when we were given the menu what was no longer available.Have been here in the past & it was better

This pub should have everything. Located in a very picturesque village, very old quaint building and great bar area.However, the place was quite dirty inside and the manager spent all of the 30 minutes that we were there standing on the customer’s side of the bar with his back to us on the phone to suppliers and customers, completely ignoring us (and we were the only two people there).Absolutely no warm welcome, engaging conversation or attention at all.This could be one of the best pubs in the Cotswolds if in different hands.

Excellent staff, amazing dinners. Complimentary breakfast is very nice. Quiet and cozy vibe. Andy was very nice and very professional, a master at customer service. Chris was also excellent! Thanks again
