92/100
The Fleur De Lys is a charming village pub with cracking food and a buzzing events scene, though it has its occasional slip-ups that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with standout dishes like crispy fish and chips or a hearty Sunday roast that really hit the spot.
  • They've got a brilliant lineup of events, from lively jazz jam sessions and folk nights to pub quizzes and even bike nights, making it a fun hub for the community.
  • The atmosphere is so cosy and welcoming, set in a beautiful village with a purpose-built outdoor area and stage that's perfect for enjoying live music on a summer evening.
  • Staff are generally lovely and attentive, adding to that warm, friendly feel that makes you want to come back.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss at times, like when the batter on the fish turns out a bit soggy or the chips end up dry and overcooked.
  • Service might drag on occasionally, with waits for food stretching to an hour or more, which can put a damper on the evening.
  • There's the odd comment about staff not quite nailing the finer points of decorum, though it's not a deal-breaker overall.

The Plough Inn is a charming riverside gem with a warm atmosphere and tasty grub, though it has a few quirks that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • The drink selection can be a letdown, with a poor choice of gins and tonics, which might disappoint if you're after something specific.
  • Prices seem a tad steep for what you get – for instance, a simple lunch for two can add up quickly without feeling entirely worth it.
  • There have been niggles with the basics, such as condiments not being readily available or meals served without proper plates.

  • There might be the odd inconsistency with service when newer staff are on duty, though it doesn't seem to detract much from the overall experience.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, helpful, and always ready to go the extra mile, making you feel right at home.

The Merry Miller is a lovely British pub in Abingdon that's spot on for a cracking carvery Sunday, with warm vibes and good grub, though it does have the odd off day that might leave you wanting more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The carvery is an absolute winner, with a fantastic selection of five different meats and loads of tasty veg sides – it's proper hearty British fare that leaves you feeling satisfied.
  • Portions are generous, and the food is piping hot and full of flavour, especially on those Sunday roasts with massive Yorkshire puds and rich gravy.
  • It's a welcoming spot with a real fire going, making it cosy for a pint or a meal, and they're super dog-friendly, which is great if you're out with your furry mate.
  • Service is spot on from what most folks say, with friendly staff and easy booking for events like curry nights or pie nights – adds a fun vibe to the week.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few grumbles about inconsistent quality, like one experience where the food was bland and disappointing, with stale bits and long waits even when it's quiet.
  • It can get a bit hit-or-miss with timings, as they shut the food line for cleaning every so often, which might disrupt your meal if you're not prepared.
  • Some mentions of the pub feeling a tad empty at times, which might not give off the lively atmosphere you'd hope for on a night out.

The Nags Head is a delightful pub on the Thames in Abingdon, offering top-quality food and a vibrant atmosphere that's perfect for a good time with mates, though it has a few niggles here and there.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is simply brilliant – fresh, seasonal British dishes that are cooked to perfection, like those chargrilled steaks and truffle cheese chips that left me wanting more.
  • It's got a stunning spot right on the Thames, with lovely outdoor seating that's ideal for soaking up the sun and enjoying a bit of paddleboarding or live music events.
  • The staff are really welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive, which adds such a nice touch to the whole experience.
  • They do a cracking job with events and celebrations, from Thirsty Thursdays with discounted bubbly to beer festivals and private gatherings in their charming island setting.
  • The place is spotlessly clean, especially the facilities, which is always a plus when you're out for a relaxed meal or drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be the odd service slip-up, as one visit started off great but took a nosedive later on, leaving a bit of a sour note.
  • It might hit the wallet a bit hard, with meals easily adding up to over £70 for a couple, so it's not the cheapest spot for a casual night out.
  • The operating status seems a tad unclear at times, which could mean it's not always open when you'd hope, potentially putting a damper on plans.

The Wheatsheaf in Didcot is a cracking little pub with a warm, welcoming vibe, top-notch staff, and plenty of entertainment – it's become a firm favourite for a good night out without breaking the bank.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, with Kath and Bobby making everyone feel right at home – it's like popping into a mate's house for a pint.
  • The garden is an absolute treat, especially with those heated booths, perfect for enjoying a summer evening or a cosy winter night.
  • There's a brilliant atmosphere with live bands, disco, and karaoke nights that keep things lively and fun – you'll find yourself coming back for more.
  • The pub keeps things affordable, which is a real bonus compared to other spots around Didcot, making it easy on the wallet.
  • Everything's spotlessly clean, from the bar to the toilets, which always makes for a more enjoyable visit.
Areas for Improvement
  • The garden can attract a few mozzies on warmer nights, so you might want to bring some insect repellent if you're planning to linger outside.
  • With all the events and music, it can get quite busy and noisy at times, which might not suit if you're after a quiet chat over a drink.
  • The website seems a bit tricky to access, as I had a spot of bother loading it, so you might need to pop in or call for the latest info instead.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on – it's a proper, cosy traditional pub that makes you feel right at home, just like a classic British local should.
  • Staff and regulars are incredibly welcoming, creating that warm, friendly vibe where you can chat and feel part of the crowd.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of ales, like Morland, which is perfect for anyone who loves a good pint.
  • It's open every day from midday till midnight, so it's super convenient for a spontaneous get-together or a relaxed evening.
  • The place has a lively, positive energy with things like a decent jukebox to keep things entertaining.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's no website listed, which makes it a bit tricky to check out menus or events in advance if you're planning a visit.
  • From what folks have said, it seems food isn't a big focus – one person gave it top marks just for the ale since they didn't eat, so it might not be the best spot if you're after a full meal.

  • The atmosphere is welcoming, with friendly staff who go the extra mile, as shared in a few reviews about accommodating groups and making events memorable.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening hours can be a bit unpredictable, so it's wise to check their Facebook page before heading out to avoid disappointment.
  • Food options are limited, especially for vegetarians, with one person mentioning no choices at all, which might leave some folks out.
  • Some experiences described the place as feeling cold and unloved, suggesting it might not always hit the mark on ambiance.
  • Prices seem a tad on the high side for the food on offer, as noted in a review about greasy spoon-style meals at exaggerated costs.
  • With the current status showing it's closed or not fully operating, you might find it tricky to visit on a whim.

The Kings Head & Bell is a cosy pub in Abingdon that's buzzing with great quiz nights and solid grub, earning a solid 4.2 rating, but it's worth steering clear of the cocktails to keep things enjoyable.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The quiz nights are an absolute highlight – they're the best in town and make for a fun evening with friends.
  • The food is generally spot on, especially with deals like two-for-one burgers on Tuesdays, and they've got tasty options like great fries and even vegan burgers.
  • The staff are brilliant and really go the extra mile, with folks like Sarah and the team making you feel right at home, whether it's for a casual drink or a special event.
  • It's a fantastic spot for celebrations, like birthdays, where the team helps everything run smoothly and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
  • The outdoor area is lovely for a relaxed pint, adding to the charm of this traditional pub in Abingdon.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some food experiences can be a letdown, like the vegetarian options that were overly salty and congealed, as one person found with their Christmas meal.
  • The cocktails don't always hit the mark – they can be warm, flat, and not what you'd expect, making them a bit of a gamble at that price.
  • There's inconsistency in certain items, where something that looks promising, like a Tennessee Ice Tea, ends up being more of a disappointment than a treat.

What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and welcoming, always making you feel right at home – shout out to folks like Brad and Naomi for their top-notch service.
  • It's got a cracking location right near Didcot station, perfect for a quick pint or a bite after a journey.
  • The food is spot on, with tasty options like crispy fish and chips or brownies that hit the spot, and it's all reasonably priced.
  • A great spot for sports fans, showing live action from Sky and TNT Sports, plus it's family-friendly and even dog-friendly with a nice beer garden to relax in.
  • Comfortable seating inside and out, making it ideal for a casual catch-up or watching the big matches like the Women's Euros or rugby tours.
Areas for Improvement
  • While most visits are positive, it might feel a bit traditional and straightforward for those after something more lively or unique – one person thought it was just okay for a quick drink.
  • Serving hours wrap up around 9pm most days, so it's not the best for late-night munchies or extended evenings.
  • As an inexpensive spot, the amenities are solid but nothing fancy, which could disappoint if you're expecting a more upscale vibe.

The Royal Oak in Didcot is a friendly local spot that's spot on for good grub, drinks, and a warm atmosphere, making it a go-to for casual get-togethers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, attentive, and ready to go the extra mile, making you feel right at home.
  • The food's a real winner; it's tasty, good value, and they've got options for those with allergies, so it's spot on for a satisfying meal.
  • It's got a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for families or catching up with mates, with live sports on the telly and a cosy beer garden to boot.
  • They handle events brilliantly, whether it's a birthday bash or a big match, and there are plenty of deals and facilities like free WiFi and outdoor play areas.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit lively during events or peak times, which might make it tricky to find a quiet spot if you're after a more relaxed vibe.
  • Food service wraps up fairly early, around 8:30 to 9:00pm most days, so if you're fancying a late-night nosh, you might be out of luck.
  • As a Greene King pub, it has that chain feel, which means it might not have the quirky charm of an independent spot, though it's still reliably enjoyable.

  • The food is spot on – piping hot, served quickly, and with options that cater to families and dog lovers alike.
Areas for Improvement
  • As it's a Greene King chain pub, it might feel a bit generic and lack that unique, cosy local charm some independent spots have.
  • One or two folks have mentioned missing the old name, which tied into local history, so it could feel like a bit of tradition has been lost.
  • With all the events and sports screenings, it can get quite lively and crowded at times, which might not suit if you're after a quiet drink.

The Narrows is a reliable Wetherspoon in Abingdon offering solid value and a welcoming vibe inside, though it's got a few rough edges that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The interior is really well presented and laid out, making it a cosy spot once you're inside, even if it doesn't look much from the outside.
  • They've got a nice little courtyard, perfect for a relaxing pint on a sunny day.

  • The food's generally good, with tasty options like fish and chips that aren't greasy, and it's quick and pleasant when you order.
  • It's cyclist-friendly, with secure storage at the back, which is brilliant if you're out for a ride and need a pit stop.
Areas for Improvement
  • The outside doesn't look all that inviting, so you might walk past it without giving it a second glance.
  • Toilets are upstairs, which can be a bit of a trek if you're not expecting it.
  • They sometimes run out of popular dishes like fish and chips, which is a shame when you're craving it.
  • Cutlery isn't always as clean as it should be, which can put a damper on the meal.
