Best Live Music Restaurants in Buckland Marsh

Fantastic ambience and service - plus quality good and reasonable price. Maybe we were lucky (because it was Christmas) but the staff we incredibly helpful and generally nice and there was one pianist and a great atmosphere. They just seemed to really care about creating a great experience - from bar staff, waiter (who was lovely and really funny), the manageress (??) who celebrated a birthday the same day and all the staff sang to her. Just a lovely evening.

Lovely restaurant & very friendly staff, only downfall was that we felt very rushed by the manager on shift, wanting the staff to take our order before we had even finished our first drinks. I also put on the booking this meal was to celebrate a birthday and this was not acknowledged. Would like to visit again when less busy.

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.

Reasonable choice, good quality and excellent service. Wine list lacked much variety.
