Afternoon Tea at The Spread Eagle

We had our entire wedding here and the staff the venue and the whole thing was amazing we had a superb day

A very sad place which is such a shame as it could be wonderful. Food was inedible. Decor tired. Saving graces were the bed which was comfortable, and the wine which was decent.

We recently stayed at this hotel, which is old and quirky but nicely renovated. It was very clean, comfortable, and quiet at night. The restaurant attached to the hotel serves amazing food. We were initially concerned because it was so quiet, but the food was outstanding. We really enjoyed our stay. Ver carta

If you’re unfortunate enough to have a gluten intolerance don’t eat here. They offer a gluten free bun with the burger BUT the accompanying chips are not gluten free!! Burger with salad does not appeal on a cold, wet November day! Very few main courses to choose from which are GF. Warm beer and a very small glass of Diet Coke did nothing to enhance the experience.

I don't normally write a negative review but this meal was such a disappointment. Lovely staff, nice decor statement building.. but.. the menu was limited. They ran out of chicken and most of the menu was chicken. There is a supermarket nearby so no excuse there. They charged 15 for a salad of feta, onion and tomato and the soup was basically Ratatouille. Hopefully this was just a blip but I would ask some questions before I ever went back!

Organised my birthday party at the Spread Eagle, Thame. It is the first time I have used the hotel. A huge big thanks to Erica and the team for all the help, advice and support. A great success, food plentiful and brilliant, function room lovely and staff couldn’t do enough for you. Big shout out to our lovely disco man Dave Cato. Professional, great set up, helpful and an all round lovely person. Thanks DaveCDJ, will definitely be calling you again. Ver carta

My 2nd time at the Spread Eagle, even more disappointing than the first. I stayed in room 11 I believe it was, where the nearest wall socket to the bed is on the opposing wall near the bathroom. Where there is barely any cold water from the sink and where the shower head is millimetres above my head and I'm only 5ft 10 on a good day. The owner tends to regurgitate the same excuses when replying to these reviews reckoning that being a 16th century building it will have some quirks. A poor justification for inadequate rooms. The £34 steak I had for my tea was pretty terrible. If it was about a third of the price I'd be half impressed. The location is really handy though, a stones throw from so...

The Spread Eagle was all and more we expected. From check in to check out. Usais greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile. Took our details efficiently and got us to the room. The room was splendid with French doors to a well kept and beautiful garden with a bench and table. Whilst it was a shared space it had a feel of being your own secret garden. We had breakfast the following morning and it was delicious. My husband said his eggs Benedict’s Hollandaise sauce was the best he’s had. There was a private car park with a small daily fee. The location is central to the village with many pubs and shops within an easy stroll. Thames itself is located in a great area to hop over and see Oxford...

Dreadful meal, food not as described (kleftico it was not, instead 6-7 boiled potatoes lightly seasoned with a few tiny bits of meat, all slathered with an indeterminate brown sludge) , and the main course (priced at £20/head) was so small we thought we’d been sent a starter by mistake. Despite being advertised as gluten free, the subminiature meal was served with a gluten containing supermarket naan. Staff were pleasant enough but said they didn’t have the authority to deal with our complaint, and said the manager would be in touch with us the next day. Perhaps unsurprisingly, two days on and we’ve yet to hear from him. Afterwards we asked some locals whether we’d had an unusually bad exper... Ver carta
