Monty's burger bar — Restaurant in Cherwell District

Visited on a Saturday evening in July 2025.

We ordered three vegetarian and one gluten-free burger along with some drinks, spending a total of £83.

Unfortunately, I'm giving 2 stars due to the poorly thought-out seating arrangements. We were a group of four adults with two young children and were given a small table barely suitable for two. Most of our time was spent trying to juggle space for plates and drinks instead of enjoying the meal.

It turned out to be quite a disappointing experience. If the restaurant is overbooked, it would be better to kindly refuse booking rather than seating guests in uncomfortable conditions.

They did apologise for the discomfort but sadly the experience was already ruined.

Text dded after the response from the restaurant - We pre-booked before coming to the restaurant. We were given an option to sit upstairs but with two elderly and a baby in a stroller that would be difficult. Furthermore, we were expecting an extra table at least to dine with our foods. If that was not possible the option shouldn't be given. We were eating holding plates in hand or on our lap. Restaurant are for experience and fun, not just to eat. In fact once I had a extremely good experience and I have given 5 star to you ( see my...

I recently visited Monty's Burger and had an interesting experience that I feel compelled to share. I'd rate it a solid three stars. The staff were quite friendly and attentive, contributing positively to the meal, but there were a few points that didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Firstly, the burger, while it had a nice hint of pink in the middle which I usually appreciate, came across as a bit dry and crumbly, much like the texture you might expect from frozen patties. The chips, which took up three-quarters of the plate, had an internal texture reminiscent of mashed potatoes, suggesting they might not have been fresh. The overwhelming amount of chips felt a bit disproportionate.

The starter featured corn chips, which were plentiful but unfortunately, there was not quite enough sauce to go around, making the dish feel a little unbalanced.

On the plus side, the food tasted decent overall, and the ambiance was welcoming, driven by the cordial staff. However, considering the overall experience and the portion balance, I felt that the value for money wasn't quite there.

Monty's has a lot of potentials and with some tweaks, could definitely...

Walked in for a table of 6 which was accommodated for us by pushing two tables together, lovely atmosphere and clean restaurant. Two menus were given to each of us and all questions were answered professionally. Our server Ellie was friendly and polite, very attentive to our table and took our order when we were ready. Drinks came out first and food shortly after. Ellie took good care of us and checked in to make sure everything was as expected. Food was delicious, by far the best place to get a burger in Oxfordshire. The price is on the higher end but you do get what you pay for which is a quality meal and a big portion. The meal can be made cheaper with their deal which includes a wide range of drinks which our table got. Three of us couldn’t finish our meal and Ellie kindly double wrapped everything for us and put in separate bags based on each persons meal, very thoughtful and the remainder of my burger was still intact when I got home. Couldn’t ask for a better experience and would recommend to...
