This appealing community pub is a friendly, welcoming place. It’s characterised by heavy timbers and an unpretentious feel; find a spot by the wood-burning stove in the cosy bar-lounge or out in the spacious beer garden. The carefully prepared, modern dishes are ideal for sharing, with 2-3 per person constituting a feast; the further down the menu the read, the larger the dishes become. Some of the ingredients are from their kitchen garden.

This truly lovely spot has always had a certain quirky charm – and that remains true to this day, with the restaurant having undergone little change over the years and emanating a comforting familiarity. In summer, start with an aperitif in the delightful garden dotted with backlit sculptures; at other times, sit beside the log fire and get cosy among the eclectic décor. The kitchen makes good use of quality ingredients to create dishes whose flavours are punchy and pronounced, while the wine list is a labour of love.

Sir Charles Napier in Chinnor offers Modern British cuisine with mixed reception. Food quality is polarized; while some praise dishes like lobster raviolo and truffle pasta, others report issues with salinity or blandness. Service is generally described as friendly and professional, though significant complaints exist regarding slow pacing and poor attitude from staff. The ambiance is highly rated, featuring a magical garden, vine-covered patio, and cozy interior with open fires. Value is contentious; although the setting and wine list are appreciated, many find the prices high relative to the food quality, making it better suited for drinks or special occasions rather than everyday dining.
Suitable for diners prioritizing garden ambiance and specific dishes over consistent service, best for special occasions.
