Falkland Arms

We had the most wonderful stay at The Falkland Arms. Ernesto and the team were absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived. The pub itself is cosy, comforting and full of charm and as a bonus it’s really dog friendly too. We stayed here as we were travelling to see Clarkson’s Farm and it was absolutely perfect. If you’re thinking of doing the same thing, this place is a little gem. The food was incredible, we had the bacon chop, the steak and the chicken gnocchi, all cooked beautifully and full of flavour. Our room was gorgeous, warm and welcoming and breakfast was fabulous, great choice to start the day. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Stayed for 3 nights in mid-December with my wife.|The room was very comfortable, as was the bed. Nice touches are the box of Lily O’Brien chocolates in the room, quality biscuits and toiletries and 2 bottles of water every day. The electric power shower could have performed better, but I suspect the plumbing in this centuries old building doesn’t help.|Some of the doorways are a bit low, but I’m 6 feet tall, and my wife is 5 feet 9 inches, and we didn’t have to do too much ducking, so not a problem! Also, the stairs to the rooms are steep - almost a spiral staircase, so if you have mobility problems it might not work for you.|Parking can be a little bit of a problem, as they don’t have a car park, and the road outside is quite narrow, but on all 3 nights we managed to|park more or less directly outside. If all else fails there is a good size free car park no more than 2 minutes walk away. If it is wet, or likely to be wet, whilst you are there, take your wellies, as it can be pretty muddy. You can spot the locals in the pub - they are all wearing wellies!|Breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty, as were the meals we had at dinner on the three nights. Although they have “pub classics” on the menu, they also have other choices (eg we had a lovely Goan fish curry one night). If this is pub food, it is a class above!|One reviewer said their food was consistently cold, but ours was always piping hot!|Finally, must mention the staff, who are all so friendly, polite and helpful. |In our opinion the Falkland Arms is a place well worth staying at, or just visiting for a meal, and the country surroundings are great for walkers, with to without a dog.

Booked here for dinner, two of us. It was a busy Saturday night but we were well looked after. Two specials were sadly unavailable but still plenty of choice. (Two vegan main course options and two vegan puddings.) The Goan fish curry was absolutely beautiful! A lovely evening.

The cutest, most beautiful pub!!! We loved everything, the location, food, friendly atmosphere and stunning rooms. Such a pretty place, filled with character and charm. Will definitely visit again! Thank you so much x

This is a lovely village pub, obviously wrapped in history, we live in Burford so not too far for us to come. We had a table booked for four which should really of been for two people, loads of dogs, we told someone that I was Asthmatic aswell as allergic to fur so hopefully could move table, no others available!!!! People need to realise dogs arnt always appreciated in a dining or drinking environment. The food was lovely and very well presented and very good value for money. Would love to revisit but health wise it's not practical.

I absolutely love this pub, brilliant food and the location and atmosphere superb! We usually always visit for a Sunday Roast. The food is excellent, and we love our visits to the pub. I just wanted to mention a small detail which we cannot believe we are the only ones who have the same issue. The roasts are always cold. Without being unkind, is it really worth ruining your excellent reputation for serving cold food? We've tried different times and same result. Warming the plates and investing in some heat lamps would make the world of difference. We have not made any comment when visiting as we feel that everybody moans and complains these days, and we don't like to be complaining. I thought highlighting this via Tripadvisor might be an easier way to highlight this issue and point out you're doing a great job, but need to serve hot food, can you think about this?.

We booked in for 1 night and had room 1, which was small, comfortable and very clean, with beautiful views over the garden despite the rain.||The pub is down a winding staircase which is a little precarious so take your time.||The pub itself is extremely welcoming, the staff are friendly and helpful. We managed to get a table in the bar before our evening meal despite it being very busy and the local flying club having booked most of the area for their Christmas party later that night.||For starters I had the Korean bites and the birthday boy had terrine, lovely.||I then had the venison Ragu and thought the breads as a side would be a good plan. The Ragu was gorgeous and I absolutely did not need anything on the side 😄. The birthday boy had steak which he really enjoyed. We both had salted caramel and rum and raisin ice cream afterwards and shared a bottle of wine.||The lovely staff member who was serving us then managed to find us a seat in the middle of the previously mentioned Christmas party, what a star.||We then spent the rest of the night chatting to some production crew from Mobland who were setting up the following day for filming.||Breakfast this morning was top quality.||We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, great people, lovely pub and fantastic food.||We managed to park right outside the pub, however there is a public car park 2 mins away.||We will definitely be back.

First time going and was there for my birthday meal (Friday night) food was good but the service was even better. A beautiful pub with a great atmosphere. Also nice they don’t add a service charge so you as the customer can decide. Would certainly go again and recommend.

Excellent food with a great location and service. Great Caesar salad and choice of desserts! Lots of available parking.

Very good meal in a very rural setting. Parking nearby was easy and service was good. Very much off the beaten track but recommended.

Not the most touristy of spots as it is in a village about half an hour drive from Oxford. If you have a rental car, it is a beautiful scenic drive out of the hustle of the city. The patio vibes on a Sunday night were great and the menu bountiful. We started with foccacia with pesto and olive oil (8/10) and ordered a halloumi burger and meatless roast dinner. My friend's roast was divine however the burger missed the mark. The pesto was way too salty and the cheese just too much. Could have done with more veggies and less halloumi. Overall the atmosphere and prices were on point but the food left a bit to be desired.

This is the ultimate old school country pub !! First and for all its in the most idyllic little village, in the Oxfordshire coutry side. so Just the village itself will charm you and then the pub... i don't want to rave to much.... but I cannot do this pub justice with my limited writing skills !!! It is situated at the conner of the village common and cannot be missed. The building itself like the rest of the village has a high slopping thatched roof and has an exterior similar to a country cottage but with an outdoor seating area. The pub inside has a low ceiling full of little signs from different breweries, there must be hundreds of them. The beer they carry is usually from a small country brewery which makes the the drink all the more adventurous and after speaking to the staff, I found out a lot of thought and research goes behind all the drinks they serve. Since I am not a beer drinker I had a lovely country wine... very young and light on my uneducated pallet ! And in all the quirky cuteness... there is an array of pretty little boxes at the bar for sale....they sell snuff as well !!!! when i discovered this i felt i was in a Jane Austen novel !!!I They do serve food and have a separate cute little dinning area... which serves... wholesome pub fare ! It has limited accommodation upstairs... but I was not able to see it because it was fully occupied last time I was there ! I would strongly recommend it for a day trip from London !
