The Punchbowl

Restaurant- fantastic dining experience from the food to the service. We were very hungry and didn’t have time to take photos of the main courses and divine puddings. Family run pub. Great team work and very attentive. The food was delicious.

I wish Google can distinguish the restaurant from the hotel within this place. This recites for the restaurant:
Nicely decorated place with good food, particularly middle eastern shareable plate with excellent hummus, falafels and olives. Their hearty pizza had dense dough and fresh ingredients that was a good combination. Nice place to hang for lunch in a cute little town that is Woodstock.

Excellent service from start to finish. I stayed with my dog here and they treated him like he was royalty. They adored him. The staff on the evening for dinner were so accommodating, they got him a dogs bed to sleep in which he accepted straight away. The rooms were beautiful & so clean. The bed was comfy with lots of extra pillows which isn’t usually the case in hotels/B&B’s etc. the outside seating area was lovely & tidy.
Then for breakfast the two ladies were great, they got him some sausages for the dog to have whilst i ate. They seemed genuinely interested in knowing about him. It was lovely. They were both happy women who made you feel really comfortable. I’m usually a little anxious when on my own but the way they were just made me feel at ease. I sadly didn’t get their names. Both had short hair, older ladies wearing grey & working the morning of this review! I hope this helps.
Lots of credit to the young staff and I think who was the manager maybe? They were great! I have told my friends about this place and as we do the canine athletics in Lyneham we will be coming again!

Nice pub, a stones throw from blenheim Palace. Came for dinner, staff were friendly and service was excellent.
Food was tasty. Highly recommend

Fantastic!!! We had a lovely meal here. Three very happy customers.
Excellent food and service.
Highly recommended.

Staying at the Blenheim Lodges, this was ideal walking distance! Great food, friendly staff and an old style game on the table was a really nice touch

What a lovely welcoming restaurant, we attended tonight for our fathers birthday service exceptional! The two ladies working tonight were absolutely amazing, attentive and made us all laugh couldn’t of been better. Food was absolutely beautiful couldn’t fault it at all we throughly enjoyed it all, such a cosy welcoming atmosphere in a beautiful area. Thank you to the staff for making our dads night and being so lovely we will definitely be back soon

We stayed there for almost two weeks and we were really happy. The breakfast was perfect and specially Celina, Carol and Janie. They were really kind with us and specially with my son. We will come back ☺

Excellent lunch stop. Service set at a good pace and they were able to take us in as a walk in for 2. Sophie was an excellent server with a warm and welcoming personality.

Great pub for a couple pints. Didn’t have any food so can’t comment but smelled great and was quite busy. Great location in Woodstock.

First day of 4 and what a start. King room no 6 on first floor is spotless, walk in wardrobe, bathroom as clean as an operating theatre with shower for 2 and loads of off-street free parking. Had great meal and finished with the Yorkshire staple of apple crumble in a gallon of custard 🍮....heaven

We booked a table for dinner here, after visiting nearby Blenheim palace. Situated in a beautiful little town with ample parking.
A family run venue. The atmosphere & service was brilliant, staff are friendly & attentive. The menu had a good variety of hearty, homemade, pub meals. Food was of great quality & really tasty. We had the steak & kidney suet pudding, which was divine!
We then moved from the dining area & sat by the open log fire until closing & entertained ourselves with the Trivial pursuit cards on the tables... A great idea! A cozy, relaxed & enjoyable evening. We intend to return (definite food envy when seeing other meals being served ... It all looked so good!)

Great meal, friendly considerate staff, warm and welcoming, listen to food needs, great drinks, superb desserts, great accommodation

Reserved a table on 12th December, as we were visiting Blenheim. The service was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely. It was a. Really nice experience followed by an afternoon at Blenheim. Staff are just so pleasant and helpful. Will definitely return.

Loveliest meal out I've had. Staff are all friendly and chatty. Great meal and local ales. Came in with the dog after a walk round the palace and we're offered a dog bed, treats and a dog bowl. Definitely be back again.

Fantastic food options for me (gluten and dairy intolerant). What a lovely atmosphere, good music at just the right volume to allow easy conversation and just the right level of attention from the staff.
The room was set out well and clean and no stinginess with the tea and coffee supplies.
Breakfast was delicious and it was lovely to hear the staff happily singing away in the kitchen.

Great little place for food and drinks. At our first visit, we had their homemade pies, which was amazing! Definitely recommend it.
The second time, we placed an order for their pizzas and weren't disappointed either. Pizza bases were light and fluffy, not doughy at all. All had amazing flavours.
The team at Punchbowl were very helpful and provided a great service. Can't wait to come back again soon!

Fantastic family run pub with exceptional service, food and atmosphere!
The staff here are so warm and welcoming and extremely good at their jobs, always so friendly and helpful. Their service blew me away and a special thanks to Ben and Ellie for making our experience here so incredible!
The food is delicious, would highly recommend the home made chocolate brownie, made by Ellie herself! Absolutely mouth watering!

Excellent pub for midday meal, very dog friendly, they get served first. Great service, good food and coffee.
