The Mulberry — Restaurant in South Oxfordshire

Wasnt brilliant they were 2 chefs down so the menu was reduced down to starters and pizzas. Not a good start as my sister isn't a fan of pizza had we been notified we would have cancelled. Myself and my sister started with calamari was ok a bit overdone so was a bit chewy my friend had the garlic crispy mushrooms which were nice. Pizzas were ok I think they need to fire up the oven a bit more as the base was a bit chewy and not the normal light airy crispy base that pizzas normally are when they are cooked in a wood fired oven. Lots of rocket lettuce was on top of it which none of us like so we spent a good few minutes picking it all off. It didnt really have that restaurant feel it felt more like we were in the middle of a nightclub. I'm beyond pleased that it was packed to the rafters. It's just down the road from us so I really hope they do well. If you want a nice meal and a catch up it's not really ideal for that. Ok for the youngsters though. I'm too old for all that I like to be able to get too the loo without having to navigate my way through the crowd who cant hear you when you say excuse me. It hasn't put me off one bit but I think we will try out the lunchtime rather than evening I think. Cant wait to try the sunday roast. Just hope its suitable to take my elderly mother? I will update you on my next visit.

Update 01/05/22 Sunday lunch, table was booked for 1pm ordered drinks bit of a mix up with mine asked for lime and lemonade but got soda water instead of lemonade was sorted quickly, there was a choice of 3 meats chicken breast, beef and roast pork, its 14.99 if you have 1 meat and 18.99 if you have 2 meats. You order your meat then they let you know when it's ready for you then you go up pick up your plate with your selected meat on and help yourself to the vegetables. Jugs of gravy are delivered to your table, the vegetable choice was carrots, broccoli, red cabbage, peas, roast parsnips, roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese, oh and stuffing and a big ole yorkshire pudding. so we ordered our meat but had to wait 45 minutes until it was ready. Was all good until another table must have been told their meat was ready, was getting our veg when instead of joining the queue they came from the other side the thing is the plates are quite hot and it's not a large serving area. so it's a nightmare when you are standing there trying to navigate and wait. My niece wanted some cauliflower cheese but gave up as she couldn't get to it and just wanted to put her plate down. It was just plain rude and should have been controlled better, everything was absolutely gorgeous the meat was so nice and the veg was fab especially the roast parsnips. The only thing none of us liked was the roast potatoes they look fabulous but for some reason were really chewy and old tasting. Literally out of the 6 of us nobody liked them. Gravy was fine a bit thin for our liking but ok. If you want any sauce ie apple or mustard you just have to ask. We all had pudding(not included in the price of the roast dinner) 2 of us had the affagato(vanilla ice cream and espresso coffee) 2 peeps had rum and raisin ice cream, I had 3 scoops of ice cream chocolate and caramel, swiss chocolate and caramelita, and 1 had sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. All the puddings were to die for absolutely loved them. And 4 of us had filter coffees with a jug of warm milk. All in all I think it was a massive improvement on the last time we went. Cant fault the staff they were superb really looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble. Been back twice now service is second to none, staff are fabulous and food has been lush roast potatoes were much improved on the last visit. I just wish there was another potatoe option and not just roast potatoes . Thoroughly recommend the starters and shares option at lunchtime which serves between 12 and 2pm. You pick 3 starters you get a bowl of chips free. Loved absolutely every...

Well were do i start my review is split 50/50 The food and beer was amazing and makes a refreshing change to the run of the mill pubs that Didcot has had to offer in recent years. My only gripe regarding my visit was the staff there bar manager was very polite whilst serving however was foul mouthed and frankly acting childish whilst not serving customers and before my visit with my work colleagues had ended we all say day and watched who we sumised to be the land lady talking to her staff and one in particular that had appeared to serve a customer wrong she spoke in a very patronising and bullyish way and didn't seem to care that we the customers were looking on.Very unprofessional so apart from gobby bar manager and land lady the food is great as is the beer just try not to be to close to those mentioned above if you want to enjoy...

Went for a Sunday carvery with my grandparents and the meal was decent so no real complaints there (although I won’t be back). Our bill came and before my grandparents realised they had paid around £120 instead of £85. We checked the bill afterwards (stupidly) and saw that there were kids meals, pints of beer etc on the bill that clearly were not from our table. The staff apologised and refunded my Nan which is fine.

The only reason I am writing this review 2 months after the fact is because the same thing happened today to our table. My partners brother was charged £58 instead of £42 and they couldn’t provide an itemised receipt showing what extra had been added .

I urge anyone ordering food, especially larger groups, to double check the bill before...
