3.9? Is Google having a laugh? This is comfortably THE WORST pub I have ever been in. It's an embarrassment to Combe and the area. Why does Google insist that you must give at least 1 star when this Pub is a clear candidate for ZERO is beyond me. There are at least 20 far superior pubs within a 5 mile radius, all worth the extra walk/drive.
I genuinely believe that not one single review on this page is honest. They are either friends of the owners who are duping the public or they are reviews of the wrong pub entirely. For a start, they do NOT have a Chef, they have a Landlord who thinks he can

Cutest English pub right on the sweetest village green in Combe. It is the perfect pub to rock up to for a lovely homemade food, ale and friendly staff. The sporadic live music on Sundays out the front really adds something to the whole atmosphere. No pretence or bravado, just good. It is about a half an hour walk through fields from the Combe side of Blenheim Palace Gardens.

We pre-booked lunch for a walking group of 5. On arrival we were told there was no Sunday roast as we hadn't requested this on making the booking! This must be the only village pub that doesn't! The alternative was a limited menu. We ordered starters and main courses both of which took ages to arrive. Food wasn't overly impressive and quite pricey for what it was. We collectively were very disappointed and won't be returning.

What a shame that on a beautiful summer Friday evening at 7:15 PM the landlords could not be bothered to open despite it saying OPEN on the website.
As this is not an unusual occurrence, one wonders why the landlords continue to not open their business rather than selling it to someone with interest and enthusiasm.
The pub really detracts from what is otherwise a lovely village.

We had a superb Sunday lunch. Huge congratulations to the chef - it was a delicious meal! Nick the manager is an excellent host and made us very welcome. There was a relaxed country ambiance to the inn. The chef laid on a warm ciabatta and olives as we supped the great beers ahead of our tasty roast lunch. Highly recommended 😊

Such a lovely pub - we booked a table for 12 for a walking group then turned up with 19 and the owners were really nice about it and made sure we were well looked after ever though we were a massive table and just two of them working.
Also the pub is in a beautiful setting on the green at Lovely Combe

Such a lovely pub in every way- great food with an excellent variety of choices (including lots of veggie options), wonderful and friendly owners/staff, brilliant selection of drinks, beautiful decor and an all round inviting and cosy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend popping in if in the area!

Enjoy a lovely meal with my friends after our walk. The menu is varied, and there is also a bar menu offering sandwiches and panini, which is impressive. As a vegetarian, I appreciated having more than one veggie option to choose from, as well as having the choice of a veggie burger, which is a rarity in pubs. This was utterly delicious and flavoursome. The chips were rather overlooked, and the sticky toffee pudding needed more toffee, but overall it was a very good lunch, at very reasonable prices, in a lovely country pub. Highly recommended!
