We booked the Turnpike for our staff Christmas lunch which was excellent. The food and service was amazing. Everyone commented on how good their meal was. Staff were really helpful in booking and so attentive at the meal and afterwards - as we all paid up. Thank you Holly, Jack, Michael and Kendall. We had a wonderful lunch - big thank you from all the children’s community occupational therapy team Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust. Happy Christmas!

I didn’t know before visiting Turnpike that chicken fingers could be so good. According to my oldest this was the best chicken fingers she has tried and she has tried many, trust me. The day’s pie (ham and cheese)was really good but a bit to soft for my liking, but the taste was really good

Lovely place and had high expectations for the food. Really fancied a good pizza so went for the pepperoni. Looked amazing but unfortunately didn't taste all that and found it was very bland. Absolutely covered in flour on the bottom.

This country pub remains as it's always been.We were greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic Holly on arrival and thoroughly enjoyed a lovely cuppa and the relaxed Sunday afternoon atmosphere.We're looking forward to returning to try the Sunday roast dinner which looked absolutely delicious and of ample portions too.Thanks for your hospitality!13th August 2023I have enjoyed another wonderful experience here at the Turnpike.I promised to return for a Sunday roast dinner and did just that.I wasn't in any way disappointed. The whole meal was cooked to perfection and served both hot and quickly.The Trio roast was an affordable £21.75 and definitely value for money, due to the fresh ingredients and ample portions.I did ask for an additional pot of gravy as a roast like this requires lashings of it but that's just my personal choice!Our server was the delightful Victoria who was friendly, accommodating and a true professional. Nothing was a chore and as busy as she was she took the opportunity to have a quick chat and offer more of the excellent dishes available. Well done Victoria we truly appreciated your service.I would definitely recommend this pub for family meals, ample parking and consideration for disabled drivers.

Returned to the pub we had our first date, just 7 years on. Under new ownership since then and a new menu I'm sure. The food was very nice and £102 for a three course meal for both of us is very good for today's prices. Staff are friendly and service was reasonable. The carpark is just off the roundabout. Will return but probably not wait seven years this time.

Hadn’t been here for many years; I was pleased to find that it’s as characterful and lovely as I remember. I opted for the fishcakes which were excellent and also reasonably priced. We also had some coffees afterwards which were far better than most pubs would serve. The service is efficient and friendly, they are also dog friendly in some areas of the pub which is a real bonus. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Dropped in here with my 2 yr old grandson for something to eat. Found the bar & waitress service to be very friendly, efficient and professional. The food was good, despite my grandson deciding not to eat most of it. Came on a Thursday around 5:30 & there was a nice relaxed atmosphere & not too busy. Would definitely recommend.

I was ecstatic and happy to enjoy a meal at this restaurant. There are not enough stars to give them for their excellent, delicious and superb food that they serve. We were served by Victoria and the kitchen team was Jack, Kendall and Mario. What can I say, it was out of this world. Thank you for the excellent service.

Food was lovely, but fries tasted like they were thrown in the fryer a few times to get back to temperature. Hard, too crispy and oily. Everything else was lovely. There was a long wait but they compensated us for that.I recommend the beef brisket sandwich! Yum.
