user reviews of the Boars Head, Ardington

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Called in here last Sunday. Nice interior village & surroundings are great for walking. Decent pint of Village Idiot from local White Horse brewery as it should be at £3:50 ish.
Food prices reflect its up-market feel - this is a pub aimed at well heeled locals not the window cleaner. We had some most agreeable home made sweet potato soup at £5:50 a pop - tadge over priced. Main meals look toppy at £14 a head level but that's their perogative.

All in all a decent pub apart from the agreed poor attitude of the bar staff who need to learn some manners & customer service. Shame as the landlord was a decent fella.

Very disappointing. It takes a lot to get my back up but this pub is well overpriced. We payed £7.50 for a tomato, basil & mozzarella salad that was not labeled as a starter, and it was 6 slices of supermarket mozerella, 6 cherry tomato halves and 2 basil leaves. RIP OFF!! Could not believe the nerve to charge such prices- I thought Burford Garden centre was pricey but at least you get a good meal for your pounds!!

Also the wasp problem was unbearable, we have a baby and sat indoors and in the space of an hour killed 7, using the newspapers they supplied of course!!

Steer clear unless you are on a diet and want to chuck your money away. This pub could be good, its a shame.

Located in the picturesque village of Ardington, this pub makes a good rest-stop for those out on one of the many walks around the village.
Serve a couple of real ales, which change often.
Nice outdoor seating area.
Only downfall is the very unfriendly/rude barmaids; they really need to learn how to smile and be courteous.
Haven't tried the food. The menu looks good, but have been put off eating there due to consistently unfriendly attitude of bar staff.

A good gastropub in a beautiful Oxfordshire village, this pub serves high quality food (although my carbonara was filling even by the standards of that most filling of dishes) and the odd good ale. One criticism would be the lightness of the wood interior and its clientele of a weekday lunchtime reflects the anonymous business parks that lie close by.
