Nice accommodation in the heart of the Chilton's, great for walking, and cycling, country style pub that has rooms in the converted barn set back off the car park. The small town of Watlington has a nice feel, although there was not much to do there, 2 Indian restaurant's and a couple of other pubs, to be honest the fat... More

We chose a premier room which was lovely , very comfortable bed , plenty of teas & coffes plus kitkats, shower good but over bath with no antislip mat , so not good for the less agile . Breakfast good but not enough choice to start , only cereal , would be nice to have fresh fruit & yoghurts

We have just returned from a lovely night & weekend at the Fat Fox and are both looking forward to our next stay. Our host John (celebrating his first year since taking over) gave us a very warm & friendly welcome & a relaxed & happy atmosphere. The accommodation had good sized bedrooms, with large new comfortable beds, clean &... More

Friendly and good Sunday lunch. Our clothes did end up smelling of chip fat. Dining room lacked some ambience.

Had lunch here with friends. The menu was very varied and service attentive. The fish and chips was great though the triple cooked chips were somewhat large so we got around 6 chips but that was plenty. I do think smaller chips would be better. The deserts were a little disappointing..the caremelised apple clafoutis was rather over caramelised and was... More

After a meeting round the corner my wife and I stopped here for lunch. The bartender, a very smart young man, took our drinks and food orders efficiently and politely. We both noted that the log burner wasn't in action, a shame as it was a tad chilly in the pub. Given that the pub looks onto the main road... More

I was in Watlington on business and went in for a quick lunch. Friendly and welcoming staff and a lovely atmosphere - had a very good lunch with choices for vegetarians. The bar was busy and unfortunately I sat under a small speaker out of which all I could hear was thumping drums and bass. A lovely inn like this... More

Arrived on a busy Saturday night but a great welcome and they squeezed us in for dinner even though fully booked. The best Venison pie ever! Good selection on menu, mostly local ingredients, well kept beers, and a good wine list. Rooms are clean and comfortable and away from the pub with no disturbance from the car park. Breakfast easily... More
