The Crown Inn at Benson

We were walking the Thames path and were running late for our table. We rang to advise and it was no problem. A lovely welcome. Fantastic roast dinner. Service was very good. Would definitely recommend. Top notch. 10/10. Will definitely go again.

Great Sunday lunch. Good portion size. Plenty of veg, which I love. The only negative for me was the gravy, I believe there was quite a lot of pepper in there and that is not to my taste. The staff were lovely and very friendly landlord. Bonus today, live music as there was a party in the courtyard. Will definitely be back

Sunday lunch with a friend while visiting Oxford. Welcomed and shown to our table and given a full run down of what was available and the days special dishes. Any concerns we had that the pub was half full were soon forgotten when the food arrived. Lamb shank for one and two roast Turkey dinners. Initially came as two lamb shanks but quickly fixed. Lamb fell off the bone. Both meats were tasty and came with Yorkshire, roast potato’s, 3 or 4 veg and gravy / sauce. My only suggestion would be a little extra veg wouldn’t have gone a miss eg 2 small roast potato’s wasn’t enough. If I wished for more veg the same could not be said for deserts. Large chocolate brownie and ice cream for two and cheese and biscuits made up of two large pieces of mature cheddar and Stilton with crackers and chutney. Good value at £110 inc a couple of soft drinks each.

Absolutely lovely place. Food is very good and the staff are very attentive. Though my wife asked for some dietary requirements, the waitress (and chef) were very accommodating and received everything we asked for. Will definitely pop in again when in the area!

Very disappointing lunch. I had to ask twice for the wine I ordered. I ordered French onion soup which came in a very shallow bowl with loads onions and melted cheese with no soup at all none. My mother had pork belly which had no crackling and was very very tough. I will not return again

Went for Sunday lunch with my daughter. I had the roast beef and she had a burger. The food was really good. Best roast beef I’ve had in a pub for a very long time! Service was excellent and she even got to design her own pumpkin. Lovely atmosphere and staff all friendly.
