Setting and service were top notch; worth a trip just for those! As an offshoot of the nearby Greyhound, one would expect best-in-class which the restaurant provided. Family loved the fish & chips and shepherd's pie; the burger taste was just slightly off, though. Will return!

KOSK, Turkish restaurant in Banbury. WOW! The food was fabulous! Generous portions, beautifully presented, fresh and delicious. We were blown away by the menu choices, quality and quantity of the food and drink (cocktails were delicious) and the value for money. The service was terrific, the staff attentive, and the restaurant was beautifully decorated and furnished and the ambience was lovely. Will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Wonderful! Best meal we'd had in years! Thank you, Kosk!

Great little cafe in picturesque Thameside village. Friendly, attentive staff, cosy ambience. I went during the day when there is a tasty brunch menu and a good selection of cakes and pastries. Not over priced. Would definitely recommend.

Very good food. We had the French Onion Soup and Calamari to start. Ravioli and Duck were fantastic mains and seasonal. The sticky toffee pudding was exceptional. It would have been better if the brownie was served warm, it was the only dish that we would have changed. The wine was very good (pinot noir). The staff were all great and very attentive. We had a lovely time and would definitely be back again soon!!
