Best Historic Restaurants in Faringdon

What a gorgeous place, as soon as we walked in the staff were attentive and welcoming. We were seated and asked for an extra table setting as we had a late joiner, without hesitation they set an extra place. Drinks order was taken swiftly and drinks came in very good time, the atmosphere was very calm with moderate chatter in the background. We all ordered a Sunday roast and it is quite possibly the best roast dinner I have ever had in Oxfordshire, absolutely delicious! It was rather pricey but worth every penny. We will most definitely be back. Outstanding!

The Swan is a lovely setting. The Sunday lunch was really, really tasty, though it could have been warmer. Service got slower as the meal went on and we felt a bit chilly at times. BUT we have booked again for a few weeks time and the staff member has made a note that we’d like a warmer table (our eldest guest is 86!)

A wonderful evening. A warm greeting awaited us at this delightful country pub. The fire was lit and the place was buzzing. A lovely selection of food including some unusual specials. Our food arrived and it was all delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. All in all a lovely evening

We had a great time enjoying afternoon tea at Minster Mill. The setting is very pleasant, with the old roof beams and good decoration. It is quite quiet and restful too. The afternoon tea menu has a bit more variety than the usual, so that makes it worth trying as well. The staff were also kind and frequently refilled our tea (with either hot water or even new leaves). All in all, definitely a place to try for afternoon tea.
