The Flowing Well is a cracking pub in the pretty Oxfordshire village of Sunningwell.
It has been sympathetically refurbished adding warmth and colour to give a welcoming relaxed feel. We'd like you to think of it as home from home. After all it is the pub of a thousand locals. You can be one of them!

We serve good honest food, as seasonal and local as possible. We don't skimp on quality, freshness or flavour. Our selection of burgers is legendary. Our pies are phenomenal and our British tapas are on everybody's lips!

We will serve you well at The Well.

    We've visited The Flowing Well several times over the years and have always have good food, sadly today this was not the case. My wife had an burnt burger in a very cheap bun that fell apart. I had the Pie where the pastry case was so hard I wasn't able to eat it. Hopefully today was just a blip.
