    The Thatch is consistently the best place to eat in Thame. Not a cheap option but the quality is excellent and the staff are just brilliant. You get what you pay for and a full restaurant, mid-week, shows that others must agree.

    Waited over one hour for a main course and had to go and ask for dessert menu. Food was satisfactory but disappointed as food on website not available. We were given the bottle of wine as an apology for the time waiting and we did give the discretionary 10% tip as it’s not the staff’s fault , but normally a lack of staff training .

    Dear Rosalind I am very sorry that we weren't able to deliver the experience you had hoped for. If you'd like to share more details of the visit and how we can improve, please contact me directly. Kind Regards Evelin

    A nice place with good food and attentive staff. However it’s was very noisy/echo in the main room making conversation difficult and some of the dishes were overpriced
