Best British Restaurants in Bourton-on-the-Water

Always a favourite, cosy and relaxed with fantastic service and food. Nothing is too much trouble but equally the team are t over-baring. Roaring fire and a decent glass of wine to go with a belly busting but beautifully cooked roast dinner.

The service we received from our waitress Lucy today was outstanding. We are a family of 4 who enjoyed a lovely pre Christmas lunch today. Lucy was friendly and professional and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our time. A huge thank you to her. We will be back.

Lovely pre-Christmas meal in central Oxford. We booked early after spending the day shopping and felt welcome and unhurried, although I’m sure they had a busy service. I also liked the layout - tables weren’t cramped together despite it being a compact venue. My oysters were spectacularly good, and my black bream main was cooked perfectly. My party also ate kidneys, rabbits and steak and had desserts. My chocolate dessert was a little one-dimensional, and the bread and sides were quite ambitiously priced for the quantity provided. However, overall, we thought this was a very enjoyable meal cooked and presented with evident skill and care.

Wonderful helpful staff in such a beautiful setting! Food was delicious and very reasonable for the quality, we were very pleasantly surprised at how great this place is

Beautiful building and lovely restaurant. Service was professional and friendly. The food was well presented and very tasty. Just felt it was a little on the expansive side for what it was, but everywhere is expensive these days. The bill for 4 people was just shy of £300 for lunch. Only had one drink each ( one of them wine others were soft drinks), so £75 each for 3 courses was for us quite pricey. We would return, but only for special occasion.
