"We went to this Pub on Sunday 24th Oct 2021 only after reading all the very good reports. Sadly our experience was not good ,to start with the table and seating was very uncomfortable having to perch on a small stool with no back for...over two hours is not my idea of comfort ,add to this the very long wait for the food to be delivered and when it finally arrives was definite not up to expectation created by previous reviews. I had Sea Base which was so dry it must have been in the freezer for months Others had the Sunday lunch which apparently the only decent item was the meat. Almost all the roast potatoes were returned so hard they could not bite through them Then add to the pain, the cost was equal to a five star hotel If you want comfort and a reasonable meal this Pub should definitely be avoided"

Lovely find. Had a really nice meal, they really need to hold on to their Chef. Excellent quality food. The waitress was friendly, welcoming and very helpful, if a little over worked at times. We would love to go back and try more of the...menu.

haloumi was amazing, but half of it would have been more than enough. Barnsley-Cop was beautiful, drilling over boiled, but acceptable, a little done on the cook bits (purée carrot bit of a blob on the plate, the same goes for the roasted...garlic and unnecessary mandel discs). the best but was the chocolate brew that was amazing! gooey, nutty double chocolate and sooo-yummy! all in all, a beautiful meal.

The Ben Jonson hosted a 90th Birthday Party for my dad recently. It was excellent; staff were friendly and attentive, the food was delicious with well chosen house wines. We had the use of the dining room and the outside area. Everyone particularly enjoyed the...sausage rolls! Kayleigh the manager was very helpful setting it all up. I grew up in the village, so have known the pub through many owners, it is really lovely to see it revitalised and a part of village life again!

dined here on Saturday night for the first time with a group of friends. I had really liked the look at the website and the menu and we were not disappointed. I have shown a nice warm reception and directly on our table. service was excellent. helpful, informed, cheerful and tolerant for all our asking and the three courses came in the right intervals. the menu was long enough to offer enough choice and short enough that it could all be cooked to order and the options were interesting without being too quirky. many thanks to the bj and would definitely recommend that we return!

"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"
