    First Christmas Lunch of the season and a lovely one it was too. The turkey dinner was everything that was expected and more. The staff were attentive on a very busy lunchtime service and couldn’t do enough for us. We both loved it ❤️ and will definitely be back.

    The Thatch is consistently the best place to eat in Thame. Not a cheap option but the quality is excellent and the staff are just brilliant. You get what you pay for and a full restaurant, mid-week, shows that others must agree.
