Best Gastro Pubs in Faringdon

Delicious meal (venison beautifully cooked) with friendly service and a warm atmosphere. Want to keep the Marlborough a secret for it has become our go to place.

Great evening with our friends for dinner. This is the 3rd time we’ve eaten here with these particular friends and we’ve been unable to fault anything. The pub is immaculate, the food was fantastic as always and the staff very friendly. It was quite loud on this particular evening as there was a large group of men on a Christmas party, we didn’t mind this at all and the staff must have thought ahead and seated us in one of the little snug areas.

Warm welcome. Staff very friendly and attentive. Good size table provided for party of four. My wife is coeliac and this was very well catered for without any fuss. Food was excellent! Can't wait to return. Thank you.

Back to its best! This is how I remember The Fishes ….. fantastic food, the best staff, and a buzzing atmosphere! Lovely Sunday afternoon with a great roast. The staff even offered extra Yorkshire puffs…a very lovely touch! Thank you. We’ll be back… soon!

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.
