The Perch And Pike - South Oxfordshire

Disappointing. Booked Sunday lunch and specifically asked if they did gluten free which they confirmed they did. Unfortunately when we got there the only gf starter was parsnip soup without bread, the gf roast meant simply removing half the plate (the Yorkshire and stuffing etc) but still charged the same price and the only gf dessert was lemon sorbet. The menu looked lovely with a good number of choices for non gf so it’s a shame they can’t be bothered to cater for dietary requirements (or perhaps don’t make their food fresh to be able to adapt it). How on earth a prawn cocktail can’t be offered as gf if it came without bread is beyond me! If they’d been honest about the incredibly limited choices we’d have gone elsewhere and been able to actually enjoy a proper Sunday lunch. Won’t be returning

Family meal for 12 on a Sunday, food was very good, service was excellent, very friendly. Great value overall. Very much a visit.

Came in for Sunday lunch as we were travelling nearby. A lovely country pub. The food was excellent, service was good. I’d highly recommend this place

We love this pub; it is a real village pub, set conveniently on the Ridgeway path for walkers. It has served the beautiful village of South Stoke for centuries alongside walkers and neighbouring village dwellers. The food is delicious and I can honestly say they make the best raspberry fool ever. My husband and I walked there just for pudding the other evening. The draught beer is served perfectly and there is cosy seating inside as well as plenty of outdoor space. And it is very dog friendly too. A lovely pub all round.

We have been to the Perch and Pike before and visited again as we were struggling to find a country pub open on a Tuesday evening for a birthday meal. We arrived to find that there were a few other tables taken so there was a good atmosphere and the food was fantastic as ever. We had the smoked mackeral pate and cauliflower bhajis to start, both were excellent and good sized portions. For mains we both had the fish pie which again was excellent. The service was good and the food came at a good pace, not too rushed! The bill for 2 of us including a beer each came to about £65. We hope to return again soon.
