Harden's survey result
Summary
“A real find” – “take your date here and feel the love”, say fans of Antoine & Camille Chretien’s “ex-pub turned into an unexpected and excellent French restaurant” in the village nextdoor to superstar compatriot Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons – “the food is wonderful, the service superb and the dining room just spacious enough to be comfortable”. Top Tip – “look out for the value-for-money midweek ‘Deal Days’”.
Summary
This “very nice old village pub” has been transformed into an “authentic French restaurant” by “fabulous hosts” Antoine & Camille Chretien, who named it after their son. It’s a “lovely venue” that “stands out in the area” for its “superb cuisine” – no mean achievement when the next door village is host to Raymond Blanc’s famous Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.
Summary
Antoine & Camille Chretien have created a “wonderful French atmosphere” at their “excellent and genuine” bistro-pub (named after their son) in an Oxfordshire village – “a wonderful place to take your loved ones and be spoilt by a well-chosen menu and wine list, and great hosts, away from all the hustle and bustle”. It’s a “very welcome – and “good value” – addition to this part of the world” – and exactly a mile away from Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons (Antoine once worked for his ‘old friend’ Raymond at Brasserie Blanc in Oxford).
Summary
“A triumph” – “delicious food and a cheery French welcome combine for a memorable experience” at Antoine & Camille Chretien’s bistropub (formerly the Plough) in a “lovely little village” near Oxford. It’s all the more commendable given that they had only just moved to their current location after six years at the Swan three miles away in Tetsworth, when lockdown struck. Fun fact: there’s another classic Gallic restaurant virtually next door – Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
