Faringdon

Went with some friends as a school reunion, and it couldn’t have been a better place for us. Such friendly and kind service - they came to us straight away as we arrived bit-by-bit, and they were so attentive. Incredibly dog friendly and accommodating too, with a series of dog treats brought over just for the doggie. 
The food was delicious, quick and exactly what we needed.
We then played darts and had delicious deserts too.
All very well priced! 
Thank you for hosting our great day.

Brilliant place, service, food and entertainment for our 10-year school reunion

Went for a social drink then the Friday fish and chips. Fabulous. I live in Cornwall and found the fish and chips were better than a lot of places in Cornwall. Batter just right,fish delicious and at £20 for two a bargain. The landlord cooks pub grub at sensible prices which led to a busy evening ably coaped with by the mother and daughters. Great banter at the bar and its beginning to become the old pub it was. I wish them every success as they seem to have found a niche in the market.

Rebirth of a village pub

Stayed after airshow at RIAT, nice big carpark and friendly host. Nice quiet room with shower and enjoyed a good cool pint in the bar. No problems getting up to go early in annex. Will be back again to enjoy the hospitality. Good value and near some lovely locations.

Nice stay in comfy room.

Very friendly service, great staff, sorted out the booking cock up within minutes, great accommodation, quite bar but will improve given the new nanagers enthusiasm. Highly recommended, will stay there again when visiting friends.

Wonderful hotel

From the start it was clear that Dan, the new owner, had only just taken over and was fighting fires,. Despite this, it was apparent that this remains a popular and friendly iocal pub. The sheets in the room we had booked were wet (clean but not fully dried), and Dan instantly moved us to another, better room. The bed was firmer too, so this was a bonus. We had stayed twice before, so knew the room and it was much the same as previously. The shower still did hot and dribbly, or cold and faster, and there were some other relatively minor faults but basically the room was clean and liveable.Cotton sheets were a plus, as were plentiful towels,and a thoughtful Easter egg.  Breakfast was not included, hence the lower price, the previous managers having provided a makeshift 'continental breakfast' in the room, which had pleased nobody. We tried breakfast on the first morning but decided to have our usual porage at Auntie's round the corner after that. We were awoken by a dawn chorus of two peacocks on all 3 mornings so the visit left me really tired. The wifi was not working but the incredibly hard working Dan assured us that a new installation was booked, and went to great lengths to divert the wifi from the bar into our room for the first night. At the price, our accommodation, having been modified, was ok, and I feel sure that by the next time we go, Dan will have got everything up to standard. I cannot comment on meals and drinks as we ate with family.

Mixed bag but getting better

When I arrived it didn't look like a B&B, it's a pub with rooms in a separate building. I didn't sleep well (bed was springy) and couldn't work out how the shower worked. I saw in previous reviews that you get continental breakfast, but got a good vegetarian breakfast. 

Breakfast Saved the Stay 

Lovely pub.. mix of modern and old. Very warming and friendly....has a roaring open fire to sit around on those cold days or evenings. Big choice of meats for the Sunday lunch...delicious. Staff were very friendly and even the chef came out to say hello. Well worth a visit

Sunday lunch

Being local, we visit the "Jockey" mostly to have a drink on a Friday or Saturday evening but every so often, mostly when we have family/friends to stay we like to dine there too. The last time we did this prior to our visit on Saturday evening was 6 or so months ago and sadly were not that impressed with what was served up and the general look of the place. The new owners have smartened it up considerably and the standard of the the fare greatly improved, while still maintaining the lovely character of the old building. I had the gammon and my wife and her sister had the fish pasta dish, all of which were excellent and the service efficient and friendly. The place has had a lick of paint and the cleanliness is now what one would expect in such an establishment.

A welcome return to excellence!

Very pleasant and comfortable stay in a lovely room. Our spacious room had everything you need, including toiletries in the bathroom, hairdryer, tea & coffee making facilities and even a small fridge.
A continental breakfast was included in the price and cereal, croissant, jams, fruit juice and fresh milk are provided in your room.
The hosts are friendly and welcoming with nothing too much trouble.
Pub itself is lovely, warm atmosphere and serves very good food.
Will definitely return to use again and have no hesitation in recommending.

A welcoming and comfortable place to stay.

I booked a table purely on the trip advisor reviews - we were staying in the area. It was brilliant - our food was well cooked and presented and the service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.
