"After reading the previous reviews the I visited the now Red Lion Smokehouse, initial impressions when you walk are good and similar to other smoke houses, unfortunately the food did not live up to any of the previous positive reviews. The restaurant was not busy with a handful of tables so no real excuse. Service was friendly although a bit inconsistent, drinks would be slow then then the next round would be fast and the same with the food, the starters arrived in a reasonable time but the mains took a long time and then only half the order arrived before another 5mins wait for the rest, I don't mind this if the food is worth the wait, unfortunately it was not. I had the Salt and pepper squid to start and it was ok although a little small. the big disappointment was the mains, I had beef brisket and it was the worst i have ever had, so dry and tough with a gravy like sauce, in my opinion i would say this had been oven cooked probably the previous day re heated and a bit of the gravy put on to serve. no smoke rings in the meat not tender at all and not a hint of flavour from it and i could have done with a steak knife to get through it! i had burnt end and mac and cheese on the side, burnt end were not any better and the mac n cheese average at best. to finish i had the pecan pie and it probably came out of a packet. its really frustrating when a restaurant sells itself as a smoke house and is no more than a chain carvery at best! from the four of us dinning all of us agreed we would not go back again."

As hard as the staff all tried, and they were good, the Red Lion Smokehouse is not as good as they (the company/owner) make it out to be.

Large group, had a few visits before. Waiting staff attentive but overworked. Food really has reduced in quality. Clearly a microwave to reheat being used, shame as a few years back it was much better. No longer worth going out of your way for. If you must go stick to the burgers.

Welcomed by a very helpful young man, very friendly and attentive. I had homemade buger which was delicious, the wife had the vegan hotdog which she said was gorgeous, food was very, very nice, topped it off with two filling puddings. All the staff were great, the young ladies that looked after us were very friendly too. Dont change what you are doing, keep up the good work, we will come back again next time we visit Oxfordshire.

Visited here for a meal on a Sunday evening on the August bank holiday weekend. It was pretty busy when we got there but emptied out after a while, I think our booking was quite late compared to others. Service was great, food was really good tasty, definitely lots of it. In our group we had 2 platters, all of it well cooked full of flavour. You get a lot of food in a platter it's all tasty but it is on the expensive side. The macaroni cheese chips on the side were very good. I had beef chilli not the platter but tasted some of it 2 others had fish cakes which were huge apparently really good. Would definitely return.

I wanted to see what all the hype was about, but I wasn't very impressed with the food or the staff at this restaurant. When we walked in, there was a strange atmosphere that made the whole experience feel awkward. The staff seemed uninterested and unfriendly, with one girl too busy playing on her phone behind the bar. The food arrived in only 5 minutes, which made me skeptical, and it was very disappointing. It lacked flavor and felt like basic pub fare at best, definitely not up to Smokehouse standards. The portions were small, and I expected more for the prices. The gluten-free main menu had a good selection, but the dessert options were lacking. And to top it off, I was charged $3 for a...

We have been using the smoke house in Witney for over 7 years in the old place and new and noticed a few small down hill changes the last 3 yrs since covid etc . We booked in last Sunday for 5 of us and as usual i told my friends how good it was with LARGE portions but had a shock . Smaller portions of every thing the most noticeable was the coleslaw portion was tiny and not creamy like it used to be , the large 2 hot link sausages were reduced in size by a third and you only get one then the burnt ends were small cubes and was mixed in with the beef brisket which was also smaller , the pulled pork was smaller and looked a mess . I Realise times are hard but now i wont return to eat again as...

Visited today with a family member, haven't been since they moved from up the street and not for a few years The first time we went the food was amazing couldn't fault it, however, after today I have no plans on returning. We ordered the same thing we had a few years ago, which was the combo of half rack of ribs, burnt ends, pulled pork which came with chips and fries. The ribs were massively overcooked, had very little meat and were extremely tough, (didn't finish them) the burnt ends were fatty and not as soft and the pulled pork was a little watery. The coleslaw was not what I would call coleslaw. My grandmother ordered a side of beef chilli cheese fries but they had no heat at all. I ord...

"with my friend written on a september Saturday, in the middle of a short break in the cotswolds. very warm and friendly greeting from barman / renter and maid serve (berry we have no names! , especially from the pub-dog molly. nice to see a detached house still, with a few good hand pumps ales on (I had the lamb bitter together with a decent selection of gas cocks. decoration and feeling creates the seemingly popular 'shabby chic'/pseudo old world country style with mixed / interesting used furniture and right (for me! 'classical pub' feeling. I'm not a big fan of pubs to Gastro/Faux land to be more city/city and new (ish country types, but then I got on 'proper' rural/empty from nowhere to kneipen with mud on the floors, no heating and gents loos at least 3 fields away, so that the lamb good to move with the times and still keep me happy to go? it is a hard business and people, including bar and waiting staff, need to make a living. sae in superdog friendly multi-level gardens, and some people just there for a few drinks, so good to see a mix of drink and eater welcome. I had the 'cracked pork' burger, the super tasty pork was a crispy peking style, my partner a generous caesar salat with excellent sardels. all in, a crisp independent old pub in a beautiful village, give a warm and friendly welcome to the trade as well as local, catering for walkers and dogs in an attractively furnished pub served right beer and really good eating. if something could be improved, a few lighter, simple items like a traditional ploughman 's or a few sandwiches on the lunch menu I would surely go down a storm, especially for walker/cycists, but everything in big things long can be successful!"
