Great spot for a business lunch. Right by the Thames, easy to get to. Had the vegan burger - solid, well-made. My meat-eating colleague tried the jackfruit curry and was pleasantly surprised. Service was efficient.

No phones allowed, which was a nice change. The historic building is beautiful. Had a quick lunch here, good for a real conversation without distractions. Food came out fast too.

Popped in for a quick pint after work. The place is spotless, which is a big plus for me. But honestly, for what you pay, the portions on the bar snacks are a bit on the small side. Felt a bit peckish still after sharing a bowl of chips.

Great spot for a casual pint. They&#39;ve got a really nice selection of local ales on tap. The whole place just has this lovely, traditional pub feel &ndash; dark wood, cosy corners, and a really relaxed atmosphere.

Came for drinks and ended up staying for a bite. The heated outdoor seating is a proper win on a chilly evening. Connie, our server, was spot on with the recommendations and really looked after us.

A really dog-friendly spot. The staff were nice and brought water for our puppy without us asking. Made for a pleasant lunch. The food was decent, though a bit pricey for what it was.

The refurb is lovely, very clean and fresh. It&#39;s a nice spot for a quiet dinner. I did notice the menu is a bit limited for someone watching their diet, but the ingredients in the salad I had were clearly very fresh.

Proper old-school pub, complete with an open fire and the football on the telly. The landlord Simon is a proper character, really makes you feel at home. Just the spot for a cosy pint.

Found this hidden gem down an alley. The vibe is super cozy, feels like a real Spanish place. Music was spot on. But honestly, the portions were a bit on the small side for the price. Left feeling like I needed a snack later.

I&#39;m a big fan of their roast. The beef was so tender, and the roast potatoes had that perfect crispy edge. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The only thing is, I wish there was a lighter side salad option to go with it.

Friendly staff, felt welcome straight away. They were really on top of the hygiene stuff too, which is good to see. Just a nice, straightforward lunch.

The vibe here is just right for a casual night out. It&#39;s warm and buzzing, but not so loud you can&#39;t hear your mates. Really liked the lighting and the comfy booths.

Great beer garden for a sunny afternoon. Their house ale paired nicely with the relaxed vibe, and the ping pong table was a fun touch.

Despite being a bit crowded, the bar offers a nice selection of drinks and a warm ambiance, especially with the heat lamps outside.

Steak and ale pie was proper good. Hearty filling, flaky crust. Felt like a proper locals&#39; spot in Burford. Got busy later, glad we booked.

Loved the vibe in this pub, all the old bits and pieces on the walls make it feel really cosy.

Stopped by for a pint and ended up staying for dinner. The steak and ale pie was proper comfort food, really hit the spot on a drizzly evening. Just a classic, no-fuss pub.

Been coming here for years, mostly for lunch. Food&#39;s always fresh and they don&#39;t mess it up. Menu&#39;s got enough to keep it interesting. Had the fish and chips today, crispy batter, good portion. Reliable spot.

Loved the historic feel at The Bear Inn, especially the low ceilings and wooden beams. It&#39;s a cozy spot. My salad was fresh, with crisp greens and a light dressing. The ingredients tasted very wholesome. A nice, quiet lunch.

Weekend menu is a treat! The fish and chips were lovely, but what really stood out was the freshness. You could tell the ingredients were top-notch. The Scotch egg was a nice surprise too, really homemade.

A nice spot in the centre of town. The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had the vegan veggie platter, which was a good choice for a relaxed lunch. The seating was comfortable, which is always a plus for me.

Lovely pub with a great vibe for catching up with friends. The bar area is dog-friendly, which was a nice surprise - our friend&#39;s pup got lots of attention! The food was decent, but the real win is the relaxed setting. Perfect for a casual hangout.

The burger was really tasty and the chips were cooked just right. It&#39;s just a shame they use those little sachets for ketchup and mayo. They&#39;re so awkward to open and you never get enough out.

The S&#39;mores Martini was a standout. Really liked the vibe in here - the lighting was soft, and the booths were super comfy. A solid spot to settle in for a proper drink.

Popped in for a special occasion and the staff were so sweet &ndash; they even surprised us with a glass of bubbly! The service really made the night. The view over the harbour is a bonus, too.
