Lovely weekday lunch time there - sitting outside in the sun with that very pretty view over Otmoor - pleasant atmosphere, relaxed. Unpretentious and good substantial pub meal. A few years ago this was a book only sort of a restaurant. Glad to see it revert to a less pricey and upmarket place. Friendly staff and a really good time. I don't know what it would be like at busy weekends though.

We recently spent a very memorable Sunday in the Abingdon Arms, celebrating my Aunt's 60th birthday. Even though the pub was extremely busy, we felt very special and the atmosphere was buzzing.
The food is delicious, the decor welcoming and the staff extremely attentive. Best pub / restaurant food I've tasted in years!!!!

This is a really top quality country pub in a small village past Islip. In several visits, there are always friendly staff, decent Brakespears beers and very good fresh cooked food, even on a quite weekday lunchtime. It's nicely decorated and well worth a visit. Why not take a walk around the nearby RSPB reserve at Otmoor before or after a decent lunch? Recommended.

My family and I decided that we would visit the Abingdon Arms in Beckley for Fathers Day Lunch. We have had good food and a warm welcome on previous occasions. Today the staff seemed extremely stressed as the pub was very busy. We had pre-booked a table for 2.00pm by which time they had already sold out of the Roast Beef!. We ordered the Roast Pork instead and were then informed they'd sold out of Roast Potatoes! .....offering new potatoes instead. The food did arrive fairly quickly however the Pork was undercooked and pink in places along with vegetables that had a decidedly bleachy type smell!! We were extremely disappointed and felt that such an established pub with experience should be able to cater for pre-booked numbers! Having said this my mother enjoyed a very nice Duck and Mango salad and the puddings were enjoyed by all.
We shall not be returning soon though I'm afraid, this was not value for money.
