The Antelope Inn in Stratford-on-Avon

Fantastic food! My family returned to England after a year and we decided to stop in our las trip favorite spot. Trust me, The Anthelope Lighthorne it's getting better and better. Sunday roast was a dream to all my sen

We had a fantastic lunchtime meal for 4. The Pork belly special and pheasant were both superb. Definitely recommended this place.

Fantastic Christmas meal with great service!! Tracy was great fun and looked after us despite our loud and drunken stare. Thank you so much!

Tracy was amazing and gave us amazing service. Lovely food and lovely company. Would recommend 👌.

Five of us called in here for lunch because it was handy to my nephew's house. Two had the pie of the day, one had the fish and chips, one had the ham, and I had the venison chilli served with rice. This was especially delicious, although all the dishes were good. The “Neck Oil” beer was very good with the food.

The gluten free free fish and chips were lovely! Highly recommend. Tracey looked after us well! We pre ordered and this made the evening flow very nicely!

Came here for a family meal with 11 people and had a great time. Service from Tracey and the team was excellent, food was good and the portions were generous. Staff were really accommodating- allowing us to come in early to dress the table- and nothing was too much trouble. We’ll definitely be coming back

Used to be really good but now food is much worse, pies are not the quality they were and service staff seem to be disinterested students who spent more time on phones than serving or clearing tables and they seem to disappear for a long time

Just had the most disgusting meal with our family at the Antelope. This was a pre-booked meal for my 66th birthday for 11 of us. The vegetables were rotten, potatoes had gone to seed (chitting), the cauliflower was grey and the broccoli yellow - absolutely disgusting. Invited the chef to come and speak to us but they were not forthcoming which says it all. They took the mains off the bill, but all we really wanted was a nice family meal to celebrate. Needless to say we will not be going back.

Booked here as advised it was good. I don't normally leave negative reviews but this was such an unwelcoming place! We arrived for dinner and waited quite a while at the bar to book in, barmaid booked us in hut didn't tell us where our table was and just moved to a different customer...bizarre! We found another waitress and asked her to which we received a Curt reply and a huff. After about 5 minutes she pointed at a table and said there. We sat down...waited...no menus. My husband then got up to get the menus...waited again for a while and noone came to take our order. So we left! Being friendly and having basic service is so easy is hospitality! Maybe everyone was having a bad day.... hopefully this can be remedied.

Sunday birthday lunch in a nice-looking pub. However, once the six of us were seated we noticed some people sit, order, eat and leave, and realised that we had been seated for an hour and in this time a round of drinks had been delivered: but there was no other contact with staff, and absolutely no eye-contact. So, one of us left the table to find someone, who arrived and told us two of our choices were unavailable. It would have been nice to know that upfront. Starters were fine, but my main course was two small segments of lukewarm roast potato, half a carrot and half a parsnip supporting two dry slices of turkey. There was little more than a smear of gravy on the plate. We asked about the seasonal veg and ten minutes later asked again (seriously, one of us timed the response). A shallow bowl of broccoli and peas arrived, for the five diners who had ordered a roast. I was expecting more bowls to arrive, but no ... my share was two small heads of broccoli. No sauces were offered, no-one checked to see if all was well. When we got the bill, eventually we went to the bar to pay because nobody came to pick it up. Overall, very poor service, long waits, lukewarm food and a penny-pinching approach to portion control. I'm really not impressed.

Lovely Sunday lunch served by great staff, with a special mention of Tracey for making us so welcome.

Love this place . Proper traditional pub. Great food. Great service. Tracey is marvellous . Gets to know everyone and makes such an effort to make sure everyone has a lovely time

After a busy couple of days I decided to treat myself to a Sunday Lunch here. I can only say WOW!! A beautiful village and pub in gorgeous Cotswold stone and a warm, dog-friendly welcome. I couldn't believe how empty the place was! The food choices were excellently labelled (as I need to be gluten-free it was a major treat to have so much choice). The food did not disappoint! I chose the Sunday Roast; slow roasted (melt in the mouth) lamb shoulder, veggies and gravy (which was already gf - a bugbear of mine. Can't have a roast without gravy!) Beautifully presented food served at a perfect temperature and just the right amount of texture. I even opted for a dessert as there were decent gf choices again! The strawberry and vanilla cheesecake was divine - smoothly coating my whole tongue with flavour that lingered on. I took my time and relished each mouthful. I can't recommend this pub highly enough and I truly wish we had one exactly like this in my village. My compliments to the chef ❤️

Great food, great service & staff, especially in the restaurant were very friendly & accommodating, made us feel quite special. Good variety of dishes & though 1 of the gluten free options was unavailable the alternative offered was great. Was quite quiet but suppose that’s to be expected on a Thursday night

Lovely village pub with a great menu and friendly atmosphere, special shout out to Tracey who was brilliant with our 6yr old Grandson (he loved the special chocolates), she was friendly cheerful and helpful. Great lunch experience.

Visited Wednesday lunchtime,food was superb starters mains and such lovely deserts,vegan and gluten free easily catered for.Was made to feel very welcome and service was exceptional, definitely would visit again

Nice atmosphere and outdoor seating area Polite and helpful staff Good variety of drinks available

I had some lunch here. Great barstaff very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. Would definitely go back again

This is a brilliant pub in the heart of the countryside. The food here is amazing and the service is very friendly and it has a good selection of beers 10/10

Popped in for lunch after a dog walk. We both had a sandwich with chips which was fresh and homemade

Walked from nearby village for outdoor beers and Sunday roast , welcoming pub outdoor table service , under cover area great lots of space but we all got cold , :( roast was very good attentive staff , would appreciate an patio heater or two for us cancer patients who darent go indoors , despite the excellent COVID precautions they have in place

Met up with two other couples using the Antelope as a central point as we all live an hour from each other. Had drinks outside in the sun then came in to eat. Beer good, enjoyed our meal, although I thought my Caesar Salad lacked something, the servers were pleasant and attentive and pricing was sensible.Would return if in the area. Recommended.

One of the best Sunday lunches in Warwickshire, the meat is out of this world, just amazing. Lovely setting too.

The food was excellent and it was a really nice atmosphere. The service however was disappointing. The staff did the bare minimum (eg took our order and brought us food pleasantly) however felt ignored and like we were a hinderance. Would have stayed for desert but felt like we were not made to feel very welcome so decided to have dessert at home. Which was a shame as it’s some of the best food we’ve had. With just a bit more effort from the staff would have definitely been somewhere we returned to regularly and recommended. All in all I feel torn by the contrast in the experience.

We ate a superb Sunday lunch with well prepared roast beef and lamb. These were served with delicious accompaniments. One of the best Sunday lunches we have eaten for many a year. Service friendly and attentive. Prices reasonable. Not to be missed!

Problem was with covid safety, none of the staff at least 3-4 behind the bar were waering any protection and there were no perspex screens, people did stand at the bar despite table service and were not told to sit back down, service at the table was without a mask, considering I work in Leicester and they do not know where there visitors are from I was surprised at there lack of preparation.

We used this as a meeting point before a weekend away and had a good lunch. Friendly staff were welcoming. The food was pretty good and came in a timely manner. I had the home made burger, with black pudding, and it was really good. A number of the party had the fish finger sandwich which was also well received. All ordered from and served to the table, including drinks, so it all felt pretty safe.

10/10! Great service and amazing food! Friendly and helpful staff and a beautiful, clean environment. We will be back soon! Many thanks!

Disappointing. Soggy batter due to frozen fish , dry burger , laughable Covid control. 15 minute wait to even pay since only two staff on duty. Returned on local recommendation so perhaps it was just a bad night. Will not be back soon. Shame. They obviously can get it right when they try.

Superb food! Gorgeous little village. Because of Covid, we wanted to eat outside and I'd heard The Antelope had a nice tent with fairy lights around the edges. It was absolutely pouring with rain but the big, strong tent kept us dry. It was very busy inside the pub but outside it was very quiet yet the serving staff looked after us very well. We had a 3 course meal and every dish was excellent. Can't wait to come again.

Having enjoyed the takeaway offerings during lock down, this was our first choice for a ‘proper’ meal out. Friendly host, comfortable dining in the bar, good draught beer (razorback) and really superb Fish & Chips - possibly the best wife & No1 have eaten inshore! I enjoyed a delicious Ham/Egg n Chips. A couple of top class puds rounded of a very pleasant evening!Keep it up.....

I don't give out 5 stars lightly. However this trip was truly deserving of it. The flavours in all the meals was amazing. Also 2 or 3 vegan options for each course on top of the vegitarian options. Very tempted to go again next week.

We visited this place as we were house sitting in Leamington Spa. We had the roast dinners and it was absolutely top notch and decent price too. The meats were so tender and tasty. Only quibble is we could do with a few more roast potatoes :-) The puddings were just equally as enjoyable too. Pleasure tranquil surroundings we ate outside. Everyone was respectful about distancing without being too OTT.

They have a wonderful tent outside now...lots of space and well ventilated!...staff always friendly.

The Antelope re-opened on July 4th following lockdown. We were a little wary about visiting so soon after they opened but actually felt completely safe throughout our visit. A one way system has been introduced, social distancing was in evidence at all times, windows were open to allow air flow and hand sanitiser was available at the entrance.We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch - traditional roast and delicious home made dessert. Tom and the team were friendly and welcoming, as always. Great to be back.

Well established country pub - good for a relaxed lunch, especially if you are vegan or in vegan company!

Absolutely awful pub awful customer service food stone cold when told to take back waitress yesterday told me kitchen is far to busy to sort a new meal out being so it’s Sunday, this girls numerous of times is rude on this day a joke. Table was dirty when we sat down to eat filthy no cutlery on table waited 3-4 minutes for it after our food arrived been here on a numerous occasions before hand and had a loverly bar maid and waitress that seen to our needs didn’t see her working that yesterday. All should be like her and the tall skinny chap. Sort your staff out and your kitchen

Four of us attended the Antelope this week, for our 'pre booked' Christmas dinner. We arrived to a very busy carpark, good sign, seems it was 'burger night'. On approaching the bar to order drinks, we noticed water dripping onto the public bar from the ceiling above. When I pointed this out to staff, ' oh, she's having a shower, it always happens' was the response. No effort to clear up the area of the bar - nothing ?We were shown to our pre-booked table, that will be the one with Christmas crackers on it, and were encouraged to have our food straight away, despite being 25 mins early, ' because there are lots of people ordering burgers'. ?Starters promptly arrived, well when I say arrived, not all of them. The final starter was at least five minutes later arriving. Main courses again arrived promptly, however, again not in their entirety. The waitress, and I use the term loosely, because she had no concept of hospitality, explained that the seasonal veg would follow 'soon' ?Now at this stage, plates were barely warm and the food upon the plates was at best luke warm. The veg arrived a good eight to ten minutes later, by that time the food already delivered to us was cold, even the 'freshly' served veg was in a cold bowl and was itself not hot at all. I can honestly say, that describing our experience as 'woeful' is being kind,The young lady that served our meals, did refer to a 'chef' in the kitchen, I assure you, no respecting chef would serve up what we received !We could have complained on the night, but to be honest, the meal had been partially paid for up-front, and again, to be honest the level of service that we didn't receive, we decided to just put it down to a very bad experience and we got out of there. In fact we decided between us, that the one positive, was that we were out of there before nine pm, enabling us to stop off for a drink elsewhere.This is one establishment we will be avoiding in the future !!!

Last night me, my partner and my parents went out for a meal for my birthday. We had initially booked somewhere else but the service was appalling so my partner who has been here many times before made an emergency phone call and they were more than happy to accommodate us! Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very friendly waitress who took our drinks orders straight away and then took us to a table in the restaurant. The look and atmosphere of both the bar area and the restaurant is lovely! After having a good look at the menu, the same waitress came and took our food order, laughing and joking with us which made us feel really comfortable. The food was delicious! I had the jerk chicken to start, followed by the pheasant and then chocolate brownie for pudding. So thankful that they saved the day and it’s a birthday meal I can remember with joy! Would definitely return.

Well where do I start, what a total c--k up. Ordered two vegan butternut squash curries with Bombay potatoes, one vegetable wellington, Sunday dinner, asked for with no gravy and one butter roasted cauliflower steak with Parmesan potatoes and I requested no cheese Bon bons , instead I asked for a portion of seasonal vegetables, one hour twenty minutes later our order came, plenty of time to cook an amazing meal and plenty of time to read special requests .. NO we were told there was no butternut squash it would be substituted with sweet potato, so it was now sweet potato curry, nope we received sweet potato and new potato curry, with no Bombay potatoes. The vegetable Wellington came smothered in gravy, then the butter roasted cauliflower no no no it was not butter roasted at all, it was in my opinion and I'm not wrong , blanched cauliflower, torched to death with a blow torch, the taste of butane was awful, we did get the cheese Bon bons which we requested to be replaced by vegetables, .....we did complain and two of the meals were knocked of our bill, the potato curries which to be sure were dire . However we did have to pay for the blow torched cauliflower and the gravy soaked meal, ....if you don't like gravy that is not on, but to be fair my husband was that fed up waiting, he chose to tolerate it. We were told that the head chef was coping with a new menu, ......poor love I am assuming he put it together himself, like all head chefs do and he was dealing with new staff, double poor love . Get a grip mr head chef organise your staff and your kitchen and send out hot meals created and served with passion , or else you will loose many customers, on the plus side a lovely establishment beautiful decor .

Have ate here on a number of occasions and the food and friendliness of staff is alwasy good. Had Sunday lunch which was very tasty and well priced. Good other range of meal options.

Food was okay. Leg of lamp was a disapointed. Hardly any meat just fat. The chips where dry. Asked for the sweet menu and after 10 minutes waiting, we just left. Have been to better pubs where the restaurant staff don't serve at the bar. So customers having a meal are not left unattended.

Husband & I had a really great lunch here last Sunday. Quite busy & we were sat at a table in the main bar area where there was a good buzz. I had the roast chicken whilst my husband had the special of the day which was pigeon breast with black pudding, kale & potato rosti. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals & it was one of the best Pub Sunday lunches that we’ve had. Only negative comment would be that more veg with the roast dinner would be good. I had 1 large carrot & a parsnip ! This didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the meal though & we will definitely be back.

My wife and I met for lunch with some old mates who live on the other side of the country. The Antelope happened to be halfway between our to houses. Lunch was delicious with excellent portions and very good service. The young team looked after us very well and the pub proved the perfect venue to catch up.

Having recently moved to the area, we had high hopes for our dinner here but our mistake was ordering a drink first and then feeling obliged to stay. We should have left on seeing how scruffy it was and how unwelcoming the staff were. The bar area might have been acceptable as it’s just an old pub but the loud swearing by men in there wasn’t.The food arrived quickly enough and was okay apart from very dry chips. Couldn’t get out quick enough.

We were staying in the village so we didn't need to drive for a change, so made the most of it. Went in Saturday evening and had a lovely meal so went back Sunday evening for a roast dinner. Both times we were greeted by lovely staff who were attentive but not too pushy. Drank a few pints and polished off a bottle of wine on both occasions! It is quite unusual to find a pub that serves Sunday Roasts up to 8pm. Most close their kitchens in the afternoon. this is truly a village pub as after 8pm the locals came in for drinks. I hope they continue to support this pub as it is very rustic inside and pretty outside. Drinks were reasonably priced as was the food. Good car parking and outside area with tables and chairs and a well. A hidden gem!

We booked very last minute (15 minutes notice) when we were travelling home through this area. Its a very quaint country pub and the staff were exceptional. We all had traditional Sunday lunch and it was delicious, we asked for extra cabbage and gravy which was not an issue and arrived very swiftly. The Roast Beef was delicious and cooked to perfection as was the Roast Lamb and not too fatty as can sometimes be the case. Some mashed potato on the plate rather than just Roasts would of been the icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend this venue and hope to return

We came here with family who'd been on more than one occasion previously and said how good it was and the reviews here would seem to agree. Unfortunately, we didn't leave with the same impression.

Sunday lunch with the parents at the lovely village pub. Great selection of Sunday roast and great service. Nice little Gin menu and would definitely eat here again

Staff très sympathique , nourriture traditionnelle tout à fait à la hauteur ....

We called in to book a table when in the area! then had to change the time, being a Saturday evening I thought it might cause some problems. We were delighted when told no problem.

Only our second visit but certainly not our last. Fabulous sunday lunch. Perfectly cooked roast beef, homemade yorkshires, veggies cooked just right (and plentiful) and excellent presentation.

Food is always excellent and well cooked. Tom the manager and staff are very friendly and efficient. Beautiful village setting. Would highly recommend.

This place is a little gem, with lovely staff, it's dog friendly, and has a really cosy feel to it. We sat outside and enjoyed the surroundings, whilst tucking in to a beautiful Sunday Lunch. I was very impressed by the quality of the food and the fact that everything is cooked fresh. Comforting, home-cooked, simple food. Nothing fancy or gourmet. The menu has a good range to choose from and there's plenty behind the bar to select! It isn't a cheap eat, but you know what you're eating is decent. I highly recommend a visit! Now we have discovered this country pub, we plan on redirecting our weekend walks to make sure we have to walk past for a bite to eat or drink.

Pleasant pub, menu varied and value for money, staff very friendly and attentive, all in all excellent meal and few beers early evening, highly recommended

Good pub with great pub food although prices for food a bit steep. Well located if you are visiting the nearby Aston Martin, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) or Motor Museum. Toilet facilities inadequate for the size of the place and not well maintained...

This is a very nice pub with friendly service in a small village. Don't expect haute cuisine, but decent food and fairly priced. Also, it has lots of parking space. In summer you can also sit outside.

A friendly welcome and excellent food. The pub has been sympathetically restored and the bar area is still a proper bar (that welcomes dogs too). A great find!

Lovely old pub, plenty of character and a warm welcome. Pre booked a table as there were 8 of us. Great selection of food, quick service. There food was delicious, the portion sizes were big and was good value for money. Would recommend if your in the area.

Just off the main road you come to the antelope, it’s a traditional old pub, serving ales and other drink, specials board was great. Proper locals pub

What a find! The food here is excellent! Homemade food! Six of us ate here and we all absolutely loved our meals. The chicken and leek pie was amazing. Thank you.

The current owner has ruined the food, atmosphere and charm of this pub. It's a real shame since this establishment has real potential to be a fantastic country outing.

I visited the pub with my partner and sat in the restaurant. The venue itself is warm and cosy and well decorated. I have been to the pub approximately a year previously and found it to be excellent.

A group of us went recently to this recommended venue for a drink and meal. The event was preorganised and the meal booked. The quality of the meal was excellent and so also was the service. Will return!

Thank you! We had lunch to celebrate a family birthday for 16 and couldn't be happier. The food was beautifully cooked and the service friendly and very helpful. Our family and friends loved the pub and its beautiful location.

This is a lovely country pub, warm, cosy and friendly.

Had Sunday roast with my partner. Nice cosy atmosphere near the fire. Great attentive staff without being overbearing. I had the beef sirloin which melted in my mouth, the best I’ve tasted in a long time. My partner had the mixed meat roast which was equally tasty. Really good value for money as I’ve paid far more in the past for inferior roasts. Keep up the good work guys...we’ll be back!

Stopped here for Sunday lunch with the family as was passing through the area. What a lovely little pub, so glad we stopped by. The food was really tasty; we had the Sunday roasts, all the meat was really succulent and nicely presented. We're glad we ordered sides as that completed the meal for us. Really good service throughout our visit, all the staff really polite and good service, especially Laura who really looked after us! Will defo go back again soon!

We had lunch today at a time when the pub was inundated by a series of young people, eventually over 20 of them. We were sitting in their midst, feeling very much in the way, when the lady in charge of the bar suggested we moved into the next room where it was quieter. She even took the chair with arms that my disabled husband was sitting in! The young people were a really nice group, but, without us, they could spread themselves more.

Pub was pleasant inside,waitress took orders for the Sunday lunch,when they arrived the orders were wrong so had to wait,very disappointed with the meal,cold small portions and quality not once asked if everything was ok,would not use or recommend again.

We booked the new informal Christmas buffet for 12 to celebrate a birthday and it was really excellent. Hot filled turkey rolls filled with stuffing and thick white slices of meat and gravy boats to dip, platters of pheasant and cranberry sausage rolls in light pastry and warm mince pies (all delicious!). This was such a great way to celebrate, sitting in front of a log fire being served drinks and first rate food by really friendly attentive staff. Very highly recommended.

We went to this cosy little pub as we were staying near by for our wedding anniversary. The atmosphere was great, the music, the food was very good, extra points for having gluten free desserts, always hard to find in pubs, but what stayed with me the most was how friendly all the staff were. They really made a great effort to make our visit the most pleasant.

Visited for an evening meal between separate afternoon and evening visits at nearby Compton Verney House. It was a cold, grey, damp day, so arriving to find a blazing open log fire was especially welcome. Found the menu was both varied and interesting, and catered for a wide range of tastes. My companion and I are vegetarian, and we're both fed up with a bog-standard 'Vegetarian Lasagne' served as the only vegetarian option in many places. Here, we had no such worries.The food was excellent and plentiful, and good value, while the staff were attentive and diligent. We succumbed to one of their excellent desserts, too, and both left feeling we'd frankly stretched the buttons on our breeches, but with absolutely no regrets. On this occasion, we went there almost by chance: next time we'll make a point of going there.

Our club booked a table in the restaurant after an event at the British Motor Museum and the varied menu catered for all tastes. All of our meals were served in a relaxed but timely manner and the food leaned notably to the "Gastropub" following. There is a separate room for the restaurant that we used but we were told by the owner of the nearby B&B; we stayed at that they usually eat in the bar area which has a slightly less formal and more homely appeal. Definitely class apart from the usual pub fare.

Had a couple of pints here with local friends. Stayed longer. Beer was great, food, very good for a local pub. Staff super friendly!! Highly recommended.

The chicken burgers ordered, we both had to checked because we thought was pork, hand cut chips were frozen fries, we were not told this, salad dosed with dressing which was not required. A lovely smile when I asked for discount. Local pub, very disappointed.

Swift and pleasant service, a great choice of sandwiches with either chips or soup and some good beers. Particularly recommended is the Cumberland sausage and blue cheese sandwich! Very nice today as this was the first lunch of the autumn sat around an open fire!

We often choose the Antelope when friends come to visit as it really has something for everyone. It was the Saturday of the bank holiday when we visited and unsurprisingly the pub was very busy - luckily we had booked. Drinks were swiftly served and menus handed out as we were shown to our table in the upstairs restaurant which is ideal for families or larger parties. At quieter times its nice to eat in the bar. Good choice of food although prices are starting to creep up. Really enjoyed my unusual tuna steak nicoise, which didn't seem to have a lot of dressing but was very tasty. Steaks and fish went down well too and they are happy to substitute ingredients if you don't like something. Great selection of ice creams and sorbets alongside the regular desserts. Lots of beers on tap too, plus unusual gins and other spirits. Only downside - and not enough to take a point off - is that the loos near the front door are ready for a refurb.

Visited last Saturday. Although this is our local and we visit often, we took my brother in law and had a lovely evening. Fish and chips as ever was excellent. I had profiteroles for dessert - a real treat

We gravitate to this pub a couple of times a year, it is halfway between where I live and where my cousin lives and this is where we meet. The food is always excellent, freshly cooked and plentiful, they have a good selection of beers as well. This time there was a small issue as one of the meals got forgotten due to an issue with the till. But the way it was dealt with proved that customer service is alive and well and living quite happily at the Antelope Inn. Sincere apologies were made and the meal was delivered late but stricken from the final bill without any need for us to complain. it is a shame that more establishments don't deal with things in the same way.

We meet for family lunch between Banbury and Birmingham several times a year and are used to being underwhelmed. No, not this time though. We took the dog too, it was a warm day but we ate inside. We had a super warm welcome and they even tried to find a spare lead for the dog (we forgot ours). Beautiful food, huge range of drinks, two friendly and helpful bar staff/hosts. Add it to the must try places but leave space for us to go again please!

Good variety of sandwiches and main meals. Friendly staff. Tables and chairs or settees. Outside area for good weather. Average prices and good portion sizes. I found the background music a trifle irritating.

We dropped in for a light lunch after walking the dog nearby. Plenty of parking and a pleasant garden area overlooking the village. Our large, friendly dog was made welcome, too! Good lager! Good choice of food and we found our whitebait, breaded cheese and sweet potato chips were excellent, and came very speedily. Lovely welcoming Staff, service with a smile! What’s not to like? Would go again.

Just back from a sunny weekend in Lyme Regis and wanted to finish it off with family and friends and a Sunday roast !

Wife and I took our daughter out for a pub lunch for her birthday to this lovely old inn on her recommendation. It is a great place in a great village. Welcomed by very pleasant staff and a very good choice of beers, ciders and other drinks available. Lunchtime menus offering excellent choice of meals and they were all well cooked and presented when they arrived. Our son in law turned up just in time for puddings, he had a pint and a big chocolate brownie and two other sweets were ordered. The whole meal generally was enjoyed,only downside - a little on the pricey side.

I am sad to read a few recent negative reviews for this pub as we have nothing but praise for it at the moment. We have been for two Sunday roasts here recently and the Antelope delivered on both occasions. Huge portions, decent/properly sourced meat, Yorkies the size of boulders and some not too shabby wines to wash it down with. Having also visited with children we have been highly delighted by how accommodating they are to little ones. Not perfect, but not too shabby either. Will happily be returning.

We were looking for something close to M40 as an alternative to motorway services. A quick google whilst on route (I wasn't the driver!!!) and this came up as close to motorway, with good reviews. It was close (10 mins) from 1 junction and the sat nav returned us 2 junctions further down (5 mins), so not out the way at all. It was a Sat lunchtime and there were a few people in, all eating. Staff very friendly, advised might be a wait due to big party that had just ordered/arrived, but we did not think the wait was very long (no more than 20 mins). We just had soup/sandwich option, very tasty and looking at other meals coming out they all looked equally as good. Very pleased we risked it and tried this place, lovely pub in a very nice location.

Great little pub, would love to have it as my local! The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a meal in the restaurant on a Sunday evening. It wasn't busy but it should have been as the food was so good. All 3 courses were delicious and the rump steaks were just cooked to perfection. If you are in the area it is a must to go here!
