What Hauður Kakalis doesn't like about The Black Boy:
Felt under staffed , two staff members serving table and bar they seemed stressed and rushing about but did a good job. food good but not an amazing menu quite basic BUT bread was really good View all feedback. What AlexM likes about The Black Boy:
Nice place to eat, cheese burger was served quickly and was very good- cheese bap and melted cheese on both top and bottom. In there for about 45 minutes. Pint of premium lager and a burger totalled about £17 so great value for money considering where in the country it is View all feedback.

read moreThe restaurant in question seems to have a mixed bag of reviews. While the food is generally seen as good, with some highlights like delicious dinner and excellent pork belly, there are also some issues that need attention. Some customers noted that the menu may be a bit basic, the staff seem understaffed and in need of training, and there are concerns about cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms and tables. The open fire also received criticism for the amount of smoke it produced. However, there are also positive comments about the quiet location, friendly staff, and good value for money, with many customers enjoying their experience overall.
Absolutely amazing food and service. If the weather's nice you can sit outside in the garden which is gorgeous and when I last went they had a harp player!
I innocently mentioned that the Black Boy in headington is lovely, nice staff too.
Bar has been done up to look like a cheap glitzy cocktail bar. Staff indifferent. Food very overpriced for not very well cooked boring choice. Apparently
