The Boxing Hare - West Oxfordshire

Can’t complain about the food which was excellent. But prices are eye watering for what you get. Argentinian prawn starter at for medium sized prawns in their shell is a bit over the top. The monk fish main was lovely but at a serving the size of a small bowl of cereal is again disappointing. We were not looking for ‘American portions’ but we were left with a feeling of being somewhat ripped off. for three people including glasses of wine , beers and cokes is , I think not great value. Service as ever was friendly and polite but incredibly slow. There appeared enough staff but was all very disjointed. Limited options for vegetarians. Decor and ambiance is lovely but overall really not good value

Recommend! A beautiful country pub with amazing staff who were so lovely to our two little pups. The food was so nice and you can tell everything is home cooked but at premium quality. Cheese soufflé was to die for. Lovely little heated terrace...which was great for dogs. Can’t wait to go back.

Our welcome was warm inviting. The service was relaxed but very professional, the food was utterly scrumptious. Couldn’t fault a single thing, a throughly enjoyable evening was had by all. Hope we can return in NY.

What a great experience from start to finish, an excellent menu with lots of choice, Sunday lunch, steaks, fish, vegetarian options. The food and service were impeccable as always, top service and all the staff have a friendly but professional approach. We’ll be back in...a few weeks for sure.

I’m frustrated and annoyed with booking a romantic meal for our year wedding anniversary, with the current pandemic and work commitments it made a change to make an effort and be excited to visit the boxing hare as the reviews had been excellent. We...were seated in the garden room, next to a family who were on first name terms with the waiting staff and who were so loud I thought I was at a Chelsea match! We received complimentary glasses of champagne and we placed our order for starters and main which were excellent however I felt rushed with the service, as much as I tried to have a conversation all I could hear was this family at decibels to which enough was enough usually I would say something, however rather than ruin there evening I asked for us to be reseated to which the waiting staff were in agreement that they were loud! So why place us next to them? We were given a table in a different part of the pub still busy with other diners giving respect to one another. The table given I was advised I had as it was reserved? I placed dessert order and two lattes with baileys followed by the bill! The bill was a tad on the steep side for a gastro pub perhaps the prices are based on the price of fuel to fill the owners Bentley Overall felt it was a rushed evening disappointed with the seating arrangements,I won’t be returning as I felt what was important to us wasn’t important to the Boxing Hare I’ve had better evenings at The Falkland Arms Great Tew, The Great Western Aynho
