Fire & Wine - Pizza Restaurant, Wine Bar & Merchant — Restaurant in West Oxfordshire

We went in Friday night (best to book). It’s a barn type set up and therefore, make sure you have you wool sweaters on! Great set up with some of the wine on tap, micro brewery next door (artisan beers and ciders, zinging and refreshing). You can see the pizza being prepared and the “fire oven”. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable in the huge selection of award winning (global) wines…🍷 Fantastic selection of around 12 well known pizzas, extra toppings a plenty. Someone has obviously worked hard on the business model; because I had the mighty “Jack the Ripper” pizza with extra cheese, spinach and mushrooms…delicious! Best pizza I have eaten in years..maybe ever. All this and a pint of original IPA for £18. The reason this is also welcome and appreciated is, other places within walking distance would charge you £20 just for the pizza!! So compared to what’s available locally this wins hands down., Great alternative, fantastic food and not taking anyone for a ride with their prices!! (Cost of living also hits people in Oxfordshire too). Thank you Fire and Wine, We will return very soon…can’t wait to try more wine/beer and pizza...

We arrived at 19:15 without a booking and were told it was very busy but we could get drinks and would be allocated an oven slot at 20:15. That seemed fine, so we ordered two pizzas, a dip, a beer, and a bottle of wine — the total was £75.

By 21:00 there was still no food. Staff only told us they were “very busy” when we asked — no one had updated us at any point. The pizzas eventually arrived at 21:20, over two hours after we arrived and an hour after our allocated oven time.

While waiting, we checked the receipt and saw a £10 corkage fee on the wine, which we hadn’t been told about and which isn’t listed on the menu or shelf. The wine was also charged at £31, despite a £23 price tag. When we asked about this, staff simply said it was “an expensive bottle of wine” and confirmed yes the corkage wasn’t displayed anywhere.

The food was lovely, but the long wait, lack of communication, and unexpected charges...

Been a few times but a couple of weeks ago we visited this place on a Friday night. It’s no frills but that’s what makes it great. We were fortunate to sit outside as warm, there was a good atmosphere as busy both inside and out. Claire is lovely, so welcoming and friendly but so too is Aime. We have been a few times now, both Saturday afternoon for a glass or two of wine and Friday and Saturdays pm,s for Pizza. The Pizza s are all freshly cooked and can come with a variety of toppings to add if required. I would highly recommend the Crispy Pepperoni as a side nibbles, yummie. Personally I’m not particularly a pizza fan but I always really enjoy the ones here. I would Highly recommend. Great fun...
