The Killingworth Castle Inn, Wootton

Since the relaunch they have done a great job of maintaining the balance between being food-focused but also allowing locals, walkers, etc to simply drink at the bar. Good beer selection but the food is the star. It is definitely a significant step up from pub grub and priced accordingly but we have eaten there a few times and it has always been excellent. Others we know report the same. Dogs also welcome.

The Gardiner Arms, Tackley

This pub has finally been taken over (since Sept 2013) by a Landlord who knows what he is doing having previously successfully run The Fox in Middle Barton. Food is good, great selection of ales (regularly updated) and great atmosphere. Regular live music as well.
