Cherry Tree Inn, The Description
This award winning inn with rooms continues to delight under the initiatives of Paul Gilchrist and chef Richard Coates. Whilst there is plenty for fans of English cooking to be happy about, a wider approach is taken whenever the chance arises.
Originally a group of 400 year old brick and flint cottages, now blended skilfully together, the completed building represents a splendid meeting of old and new with subdued lighting bringing out the best in ancient timbers and flagstones polished with age.
A lively lunch time menu could include a crispy duck salad with bean shoots, followed by wild boar and Chimay beer sausages with red cabbage rounding off with chocolate and raspberry pudding and white chocolate ice cream. Many dishes have a guiding note towards a particular beer or wine, some of the beers with a pretty eye-watering s.g.
The evening menu expands the choices, offering terrine of foie gras and ham hock with a pear and beer chutney, crab and brandy bisque, roast rump of English lamb, or slow roasted belly of pork served with creamed mash, smoked black pudding, caramelised apples and cider jus.
The range of beers is impressive, including Brakspear on draught, with a good wine list that travels the world, starting with house wine at £12.95.
Your Reviews of Cherry Tree Inn, The
Richard (2 April 2008)
Having had a disappointing meal at the Fox & Hounds, Christmas Common we were hoping for better things there. The staff were welcoming but we were shown to a table in a small room at the end of the restaurant. The log fire looked great - but it was not lit! For starters I had asparagus and proscuito - tasty but a small portion - it worked out at £1 for each of the four asparagus sticks and £2 for the one piece of proscuitto. Why do so many English restaurants bring a bread basket with just one piece of bread per person? We asked for more and the next one only had three pieces. For the main course I selected lamb shank - tasty but of the four mange tout peas that came with it one was burnt. My son had the belly pork - again tasty but I felt the piece of meat was thin. When we received our bill we had been charged for the three extra pieces of bread.
Having read their website we were expecting better things from the Cherry Tree. Are there any good restaurants in South Oxon?

I eat lunch fairly regularly at the Cherry Tree as it's near my office. The food is consistent and of reasonable value, but I wish they would change the menu. The lunch menu hasn't changed in the last eighteen months, which suggests a lack of creativity in the kitchen, or just not caring.
