Reviews The Nightingale

We stumbled across this gem on the way back from a random day out in Stratford Upon Avon and a stay at Warwick. We was trying to find somewhere that could fit us in at 3pm for Sunday roast. They managed to get us a table, so we headed over. They seated us fairly quickly and brought us the menus, then took around 20-25 minutes to come and take our drinks order but we were ready to order our mains by then. Our fault really, cause we was already hungry and we know we was after a roast, so could have ordered straight away, when being seated. They had a large group in (a table of approx 12), plus a table of 6, so could have been some of the delay, loads of people outside, as an unusually warm day for October and sport was on. The waitresses were all lovely and very caring, only scored down, cause I had to chase my olives and the wait of the food order. The size of my olive portion was extremely small, they came out in the little white sauce pot container, there was 2 garlic cloves, a piece of dried tomato and approx 8 olives, I was expecting something the size a ramekin dish and approx double that for nearly £3, however, they were very tasty. Omg the food was AMAZING!!! Best roast I've had in ages! We both had the beef and wasn't disappointed, we ordered a side of cauliflower cheese, which was also cooked perfectly! Everything was delicious, my 1 criticism is the long steam broccoli, should have been cut a little smaller, as a little tough towards the ends but I wouldn't eat that anyway, i just accidentally ate too far down, as was enjoying my food so much lol and maybe a pot of Gravy for the table, as I like a bit for my Yorkshire but I don't want it to be soggy, so needs to be poured on and eaten lol. That's a personal preference of course. Also the roast is so reasonably priced and a lot for your money! A wonderful meal and a place I would 100% recommend, I would definitely visit again, if I was in the area.

Great local pub. We had a full English breakfast and a veggie breakfast and they were delicious! Really good portion size and great value for money. The staff are really friendly and attentive and the pub has a great atmosphere!

We were looking for a venue that would welcome & cater for children and of course adults.. definitely recommended The Nightingale our server was a lovely American lady who checked & double checked to make sure everyone’s order was correct. The Sunday roasts are delicious especially the red cabbage and they also cater for GF & a good variety of deserts. Friendly welcoming staff & Landlord very clean inside & plenty of seating outside.. 10/10 nightingale team. Jo

Thank you to all of the staff at The Nightingale, you were extremely accommodating, helpful and friendly in helping us organise our son's 18th Birthday party, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, excellent service and a really great atmosphere with lovely indoor and outdoor space. Would definitely recommend and use again - thank you everyone for such a wonderful evening.

The Nightingale was suggested to us as a good place to have lunch and did not disappoint. We were warmly welcomed, the food was excellent and the service was really good. I would definitely recommend it.

Excellent meal. Great service. Could have been a bit cleaner. Looked a little tired considering it's only recently opened I was told.

This is Bicester's hidden gem! Called in for Sunday lunch and it was fantastic. Really good food, well cooked and delicious, and great value too. Keiran and the Team were on the ball. Attentive, swift and courteous. This pub has such a lovely feel to it, a real community hub. Exactly how a pub should be ❤️

We have been to many events at the Nightingale which have all been good fun but the Rock and Roll bingo was absolutely amazing, everyone was singing and having a laugh, the atmosphere was brilliant. The staff as always made everyone feel welcome and cannot do enough for you.

Really nice pub. Found this place by accident whilst looking for a carvery pub. The Sunday roast was amazing. Really good tasting food, and lots of it! Good quality food. We got lots of chicken. Maybe too much!! It was great! Great value food as well. The whole pub was clean and smart looking. The staff were friendly and helpful. Especially Alison, our server. A really friendly and helpful American lady. I've been in a few pubs over the weekend, and this pub had the cleanest male toilet area I'd seen in a while, and this was at 3pm on Sunday afternoon! What a great pub. Its a shame we don't live closer, because if I did, I'd be here regularly.
