Great place to have a coffee and breakfast just near to Oxford city centre , prime quality coffee, great service offered for the young staff, and a fair price, inclusive cheaper to tesco cafe. Really recommended.

The soya hot chocolate is AMAZING! Plus, the team are so nice here at the Waitrose cafe. I had taken 2 sips from my hot chocolate and then knocked it over and spilled it everywhere. Not only were they cool about it, cleaned it up for and helped me move tables, they made me a fresh hot chocolate at no extra charge. Now that’s customer service!

Nice cheap and cheerful cafe with cheerful staff! It's worth noting that due to staff issues they often aren't serving the hot food. The Cafe acoustics have a way of dissipating both the sound of the cafe itself but also the supermarket. So definately suitable for the neuro divergent. It sort of has a similar noise distribution to a swimming pool

Spent an afternoon in its outdoor seating and stayed for a dinner. It can get busy on weekend nights, so I recommend to make a booking. Also, there are lots of bench seating outdoors, but was quite windy and chilly despite the sunny weather early March. They only serve local beers on tap. So there was a limited option, on that day was 1 lager, 2 pale ale (1 non-alcoholic) and a cider. Spirits and wine have more options though. Indoor seating is a bit cozy (exact word the hostess used, I thought was cozy-warm but meant cozy-tight and small). Toilets were not wheelchair friendly but the restaurant was pet-friendly. The end where we sat for dinner was cold, without a working heater. We had to wear our coats. My husband enjoyed the rib eye steak, nice and tender. The foccacia starter had a generous portion of the bread and olive oil. The duck leg was good as well but the portion was a bit small (£24 for a drumstick). I would be willing to pay a little more for a proper leg portion. The view outside the pub is gorgeous. Parking lot can accomodate a lot of cars.

Nestled in the scenic Surrey Hills, Botley Hill Farmhouse offers a perfect escape from London’s bustle, combining stunning countryside views with hearty, well-prepared food. The first thing that stands out is the breathtaking location. Perched at one of the highest points in the North Downs, the farmhouse provides panoramic views of rolling fields and woodlands, making it an excellent spot for a relaxed meal, especially at sunset. Whether you’re dining inside the rustic yet elegant restaurant or outside on the terrace, the setting enhances the experience. The menu is a mix of classic British dishes with a modern touch. The Sunday roasts are a highlight, particularly the slow-roasted beef, which is tender and full of flavor, served with crispy roast potatoes, rich gravy, and perfectly cooked vegetables. The fish and chips are another standout, with a light, crispy batter and flaky fish. Vegetarian options, like the wild mushroom risotto, are equally satisfying. The desserts, particularly the sticky toffee pudding, are indulgent and well worth saving room for. Service is warm and efficient, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality and setting, making it a great choice for a special meal or a weekend outing. If you’re looking for a peaceful countryside retreat with excellent food and spectacular views, Botley Hill Farmhouse is well worth a visit.

Love coming here on a Sunday as the roasts are great. The Nut roast is especially nice for any vegetarians! Been many times and had great experiences, the last time we went felt a bit over crowded with people waiting in the walkways as well as staff trying to get by with food and drinks. 100% recommend if you haven’t tried though

We’ve been to this pub a few times. Standout is the service and the location, and just the beautiful building. The food is also really good. The ONLY thing I don’t like is the selection of beers/ciders on tap, they only serve the products of a local brewery. We always enjoy going and the kids love the garden. We will keep coming back.

Super, super good. Came quickly, worked to super standards, so definitely will use this company again. All the fright and worry alleviated in a couple of hours. Super worth it! Thank you EPH and thank you Paul and Lenny

We called out Lenny late on Monday evening as we had a leaking thermostatic valve on one of our radiators. He was at our house within 40 minutes and did an excellent job of replacing the valve (which included draining our central heating system and refilling etc). The work was carried out in a professional, tidy manner and Lenny did not leave until he was sure the leak had stopped. We are very happy with the work carried out.

We cannot thank Paul and Sam enough for their fantastic service. They came out to us on the same day to determine the issue and sorted it a few days later, bearing in mind we had 2 bank hols in that time. We had a new boiler fitted and the work was done efficiently, tidily and at a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend. Thanks.

Gas Boiler failed just before Christmas, EPH were recommended to us by a friend of my daughters. To say they were amazing is an understatement, Paul and Sam replied to our email and text message very promptly and arranged a visit at the busiest time of year. Paul diagnosed the boiler fault within five minutes of arriving, ordered the required part immediately and returned to fit it as soon as parts arrived at the suppliers, two days later. We are so grateful as it was bitter cold and the house had no heating or hot water, everything now working perfectly. Thank you Paul and Sam for the most professional and responsive service, you are stars.

I had a wonderful experience at your restaurant in Botley Village “The Old Mill” restaurant. Free 1 hour parking. The staff were incredibly pleasant and welcoming, and the food was delicious. One small suggestion: consider adding a kid’s menu. Overall, a delightful visit, and I look forward to returning. Thank you!

If you are thinking of dining out for a special occasion, then this is definitely the place. Everything is top notch the minute you enter the restaurant. The service, atmosphere and food is fantastic. We had a party of 11 and was a celebration of life. The care , consideration and attention of the staff was unbelievable. I wouldn't think twice about going back and have since recommended the mill to friends.

Celebrated my 60th birthday there. A meal for 32 of my close friends. The food and service was exceptional! Worthy of a Michelin star! Chris the manager offers a smooth seamless service in a calm manner. I would say it probably is my most favourite place to be. The beautiful Mill itself is worthy of a visit let alone all that it offers.

I called Mike as I had hit a cable in a wall first thing on a Sunday morning, which caused us to lose electricity to the whole house, by early afternoon he had been over, created a temporary fix to get us back up and running and promised to be over first thing in the morning to replace the damaged wire. True to his word he did just that, within an hour he and his Daughter had replaced the damaged wire. I found them both to be polite, friendly and their work to be of the highest standard. I wouldn't have any problems recommending them and will 100% be using them for any future issues we have.

I had a sudden problem with various sockets and appliances not working throughout my flat. The issues were quickly identified as a faulty appliance and a separate issue with an ancient fuse box, something I knew had needed updating for a while. Mike explained everything clearly, and the first issue was dealt with, and also the fuse box made safe. Mike then returned asap to replace the fuse box with a modern consumer unit; this was in a fiddly access area, but Mike suggested a solution that made it accessible, and the result was a nice tidy job. The issues were communicated clearly, and quotes were given up front. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Mike again, and I was really pleased with the service and outcome.

I luckily came across Tim’s page a couple of weeks ago after dealing with another electric company that turned out to be a total rip off. Tim managed to fit me in as we were selling a house and needed an EICR done, he also arranged for the work to be completed the same day. I was so impressed with the service, and professionalism we received. I would recommend and use again! Thank you so much!

Looking for a new electric boiler for our flat, I tried a few bigger companies and they couldn't help. T Darby Electrical were the only one who gave an immediate and exact quote, communicated promptly and did a perfect job, with our new boiler running from the minute they said it would. I strongly recommend these excellent professionals! Well done, Tim Darby and his team!

Tim Darby, what a fantastic human being! Had a problem with home electrics tripping out and could not resolve. A photo of the consumer unit sent to Tim, a call back from him and sorted following his simple and clear instructions. My uncle, who is 90 was overwhelmed by this and will look to Tim for any future electrical needs. PROPER SERVICE!!! CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH. Thanks so much for caring Tim.

These guys Tim and Jack really pulled out all the stops on January 7th 2025. We came back from holiday with young kids to a cold dark house. I called Tim The next day (hadn’t used them before) at 7.45a.m and he was on the ball and Jack attended at 9a.m and had the power back on by lunch time. Really saved the day. Could not recommend them highly enough. Will definitely be using them again. Proper people when you need proper people! Robin Riches, Four Acre Nursery, Titchfield.

After not getting any responses from other local trades people, Tim and the team got straight back to me and came to take a look at the problems we had. He recommended a sensible course of action and booked us in at a time to suit us. Will, the electrician, was courteous, tidy and kept us informed every step of the way, and even took his shoes off every time he went upstairs (including when he went in the attic!). Would thoroughly recommend Tim and the team to anyone who needs work done, a great service!

I am so happy I got what I ordered! No oil, no olive oil, just butter, salt and water. The sea bass is divine, fresh from the sea and the vegetables were perfect. Sophie suggested I try Chapel Down as it was my first time and she is such a connoisseur of these English sparkling wines that I can't wait to try again. The staff are so friendly and amazing. Also they are Pet friendly too!

Group meal out and Ellen (our server) was fab & friendly. Overall the food was lovely, couple of meals weren’t quite as hot as expected but it was busy in there. Would recommend for good hearty pub food. One member of the group had dietary restrictions and although there was an IPad it was confusing on what was impacted or not.

Booked here this evening and had a superb meal, the atmosphere was really nice and made to feel at home. The service was second to none and Gabrielle was attentive in all aspects of what was needed to make the visit a memorable one. Price of the meal was spot on costing just over £25 PP including a drink (I had two pints) for a 2 course meal. They had a guest ale on which I was assured is a regular thing. All in all a really nice place to have a meal with a good menu selection and a specials board as well.

We went to Fox and Hounds for my mum's birthday meal at lunch time today. It was absolutely lovely. Ellen was extremely upbeat despite the restaurant being absolutely packed. There were multiple large groups in for their Christmas meal but Ellen did her best to make sure everyone was taken care of. She advised us that there would be a delay on mains which was fine. The food was definitely worth the wait, everything was superb. And the dessert was best of all. My mum and I ordered the "melting festive bell" and the staff had put it on a cheese board for my mum, with happy birthday written in chocolate and a little tealight for her to blow out. It really made her feel special they completely went the extra mile and made it a fantastic meal for all. My parents haven't been here in almost 40 years and will definitely be coming back. The venue was also decorated beautifully for christmas with a roaring fire in the grate.

Sunday roasts are reasonably priced and come plated on their pizza plates (which are huge) so great value and quality. The beer was good and the food was delivered incredibly quickly. The pub is well presented and despite (me) messing up my booking, the friendly staff found us a table. Nice to have a civilised meal where even the dog is welcome!
