The Black Boy Headington

Great stay, rooms lovely and clean, comfy bed and great home cooked breakfast. Staff lovely and friendly and welcoming. Would recommend

We only went in for drinks, but the staff were amazing! Had a lovely experience. Normally I wouldn't be arsed to write a review for a pub! But Neil and Amalie were a delight. After a well informed discussion about the wine selection, I was very happy with the choice. Was only planning to have one but with great company and good wine, stayed for more! Looking forward to returning!

We were three tables and waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for our food, which is completely unacceptable. The steak came with barely any mushrooms and was nothing like before. We’ve been here in the past and it used to be much better, but this time everything went wrong. The food was not cooked as requested, especially shocking considering the price (£27 for a steak). The staff clearly had no idea what they were doing. The manager was extremely unhelpful, showed no care at all, and did nothing to fix the situation. She didn’t support her staff or take any responsibility, which made things even worse. No one came to check on us, offer drinks, or even apologise for making us wait over an hour. My children were very upset and frustrated, and honestly I regret bringing them here. Very poor service, poor food, and zero customer care. We will definitely not be coming back

Fantastic food lovely staff will return!!

Tasty, well-cooked food in a smart, well-maintained setting

We had a 84th Birthday party on a Sunday, so most people went for the roast or fish and chips bote were amazing and the service was excellent. We will definitely be going back.

Thank you for putting up with19 of us today.The food was lovely and there were no complaints from anyone, Excellent service too. It is the best place I have eaten at for gluten-free availability.

The food and service was amazing! We had a table of 19 on a busy Sunday and the food and service were perfect. Will definitely be back!

Popped in when visiting a local football match. Although I was early and just enquiring about food, these people went above and beyond to get me in early. I was made to feel very welcome and the food was fantastic.

The staff here are outstanding! Shout out to Katie who helped us find a parking space in the pub’s parking area by moving her own car! She also helped us before we arrived by a detailed check of accessibility considerations in view of my husband’s disability. We were also assisted with getting our bags both up and down stairs. Bedroom very clean. Food excellent and atmosphere is warm and friendly. Neil, who served breakfast was also excellent. All 5 star ratings apart from location which we gave a 4 star, purely because of our initial difficulty finding a parking space due to some residents parking nearby, but please note that this was an issue for us due to limited mobility.
