The Hand And Shears

Excellent, friendly service from Rachel, and an even better chicken, ham leek pie. Would recommend this pub most warmly

Came for a Sunday roast for a friends birthday and we were blown away. Lovely food and great service by Lydi, thank you.

Had an amazing Sunday Roast here for my birthday with friends. Service from Lydi and Sally was top notch and would recommend this to anyone. View menu

Just had a phenomenal Sunday roast. This has to the the best in Oxfordshire! Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff. We will be back!

Disappointing visit and disappointing food sad to say. There was a nice vibe from the chatty locals but the pie pastry was hard as hell, when I got through that, I made it to the chewy meat. No gin, other than flavoured gin and to top it off, no till roll so no itemised bill, strange! Would I return no!

Had the pie and a pint on a Wednesday for a very good price and the quality was unmatched very fresh very good quality meat with a great pint to go with it , my friend had the meatball linguine and it was also top notch for flavour and portion size couldn’t recommend more for price , quality of food and service !

Fabulous food, friendly staff. My daughter and I visited this pub while we were staying nearby, and went back again the following evening. We ate on each occasion, and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent. I thoroughly recommend it for a lovely evening out.

Excellent pub with cosy welcoming atmosphere and lovely bar staff. We were in a big group of 25, all ordering roasts, and it all came out in great time and was especially delicious. The staff went out of their way to welcome us and make us feel comfortable. Special shout out to Amy who kept the drinks coming with a packed out bar! All done with a smile across the face at all times. Would definitely come back

Our second visit for Sunday lunch, and the main course was just as good as the first time. Great range of vegetables, excellent roasties and Yorkshire pudding. Service was good, staff all friendly and pleasant. Only disappointment was the desserts: no berries (as on the menu) with the otherwise tasty cheesecake, and no strawberries (as on the menu) with the Eton mess in fact barely any meringue either, so the Eton mess was mostly a smallish pile of whipped cream with some strawberry sauce, felt rather inadequate for £9 a pop.
