    Great food - lovely flavours but crumble portion too big and my beef had a lot of tissue I had to cut out which was inedible. Apart from that I would definitely recommend.

    For a classy but friendly treat I recommend the Ox Barn for lunch out. The set menu is creative and service is nicely paced - not too slow - efficient but relaxed. All the wait-staff were charming (in a good way!). The decor and facilities are contemporary and spotless, with comfy sofas for relaxing while waiting for a friend or after the meal. There is plenty of parking. Google Maps unfortunately took me to the far end of the estate within the village of Southcrop, rather than through the pastures on the other side of the farm/estate. And on both visits I found it difficult to find. Signs for THYME in the village are tasteful but too discreet, if you don't know that you should be looking for them! Met my brother here halfway between my home in Stroud and his near Didcot.

    The food was amazing; we all had different dishes (mains and desserts) and were very impressed with the taste, quality of ingredients and the presentation. We got complimentary bread and butter at the start, which was a nice touch. The venue has character and is a charming old building. Our server was brilliant, especially considering her very young age - she was friendly, polite and knowledgeable about the menu. The village of Buckland is beautiful - we went for a walk after lunch. I would highly recommend making a visit here.
