We had a really good meal here one night and drinks here another night. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is a good choice of beer. I was able to have herbal tea and my husband his proper beer. It is obviously popular with the locals and has a good atmosphere. If I am back this way this is a pub I will return to.

Stayed in Abingdon for a weekend, booked table at The Tap Friday evening. Very busy, however staff were really attentive, beers were superb, food was even better, We consequently booked again for Sunday, same quality. A truly excellent venue for food and drink cannot recommend enough. Pulled pork was amazing.

We were not staying here but were temped by the extensive food menu. Their home made pies are to die for: we had the lamb & mint and their beef bourguignon and both were top notch: full of meat and served with a fabulous gravy. So good in fact that we re-booked again for the following night ! HINT: watch out for the Specials board to the left of the bar as you enter.

The food, as on all our previous visits, was excellent but the waiting time sadly was beyond what could be considered acceptable. We were told there would be a 30 minute delay soon after ordering but it was much longer and there was too long a wait between courses. The staff were excellent otherwise too but with a long journey ahead of us it meant less drinks and no time for dessert. Really disappointing because it’s one of our favourite stops when we are in the area.

Staff were friendly and helpful room ws clean comfortable and well furnished. Food was good, typical pub grub. Access to the room was a bit of a problem the staircase wss narrow and steep, not easily managed with large suitcasesor if not in the prime of life.

Been for Sunday lunch a few times and really enjoyed it. This was the first time trying out Saturday and it was just as good. Starting with a hot Scotch Egg which was great and followed that up with a great tasting burger, fish sandwich and a pint of Neck Oil all with great staff. Thanks so much

We love this pub! We went with the children and unfortunately there was a long wait for food. When I say long, I mean over an hour (usually it's never been longer than 15 mins for us). However, the service was great and they very kindly gifted us a child's meal due to the waiting times. Our food was amazing, I particularly enjoyed the deep filled club chicken ciabatta with soup of the day, which was fished chowder. This soup was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life! Do go there, everything is delicious including the Sunday roasts. Make sure to book to avoid any disappointment.
