Sometimes we stumble across what could only be described as the perfect pub, and The Bat and Ball in Cuddesdon, Oxfordshire, meets most of our 'perfect pub' requirements. This cosy, countryside coaching inn boasts oodles of English eccentricities and the restaurant – decorated with original beams, flagstone floors, a crackling open fire and bare brick walls – is adorned with retro posters and antique cricket memorabilia adding a certain British battiness to the whole mise en scene. Surrounded by Oxfordshire countryside, yet only 5 miles from the Oxford city centre, this is a super place to come for lazy lunches, tasty sharing platters and bottomless bottles of merlot in winter and sneaky al fresco frivolity in summer.

    We booked at the Bat and Ball for lunch on Bank Holiday Monday, expecting something pretty special. Unfortunately, it was all rather disappointing. The person who met us at the bar was less than welcoming, and we felt that we were disturbing the (fairly empty) pub by turning up at all. Things improved once we were seated - the service from here onwards was friendly, although on the slow side. The food was OK, but certainly nothing special. Not really worth the drive from London.

    The Bat and Ball, Cuddesdon. A pleasant lunch for 3 people, 2 of us having delicious Bat burgers. Pub was relatively quiet but gave us a chance to look at the cricketing memorabilia. Not personally my favourite sticky toffee pudding.

    We stopped at the Bat and Ball in Cuddesdon on a journey down from London. It was the perfect place to stop, a very pretty village, a proper traditional English pub with friendly staff and really lovely food. I would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area.
