Welcome to The Bear & Ragged Staff, Cumnor
Honest, Unpretentious Dining & Wining in the Oxford Countryside

Though we do not pretend to be a Michelin Star wannabe, we are extremely proud of what we offer in this quintessentially English Dining Room and Pub, that has now definitely found its way in the gastronomic world.

OUT is microwave and boil in the bag along with most of the old freezers. IN with a flourish is serving eclectic, mainly British food, prepared with loving care and attention with fresh local ingredients, in well equipped kitchens, beautifully presented and served by well trained floor staff. And all this with a wine list brimming with wines carefully selected for quality and value.
Whether you are looking for a simple sandwich or businessman's lunch, a romantic dinner for two or a full on three course meal with wine, port liqueurs and coffee, we have the solution. If you are want to hold that special family gathering or a sit down wedding banquet for 80, we can accommodate and tailor our offering to your requirements. In addition we have award winning ales, a play area and garden, a comfy outdoor decking and ample parking.

Really nice pub in a nice setting. Very clean and a mixture of modern and traditional inside, with some nice beers on tap. Plenty of room in different ambiences. We were celebrating a family reunion. Although we didn't try the food it looked great and the staff we very friendly and helpful. Thank you for making us feel at home.

I decided to have a day out with my girlfriend in the Cotsowld , with an overnight stay at The Bear & Ragged Staff in order to propose to her at the end of the day. Everyone at the Inn was extremely helpful and accommodating of my request - especially Ronan who went above and beyond to help me with all the preparations and set-up of the room. We communicated a lot during the week prior to the event - even on his days off! Ronan was also our Waiter on the day - making sure we have an amazing evening without my soon to be fiancee suspecting anything is going on. Rooms were cozy, comfortable beds and very clean. Food was amazing and very well priced too - the whole place is definitely a gem of the Cotswold. I cannot recommend this place enough and once again, I want to say a huge thank you to all the team there for making our special day even more special! We will be back!

Went for a nice weekday lunch with the in-laws. The food was delicious. King prawn and Camembert starters. Very flavourful. Had the chicken schnitzel and mussels with pancetta parmesan linguine. The schnitzel was a great level of crisp. The mussels were very well cleaned. The chocolate and caramel tart was a really nice finish. The server, Hanna, was very lovely. Would absolutely recommend. The ambiance is very calming and welcoming.

We've had the best stay this bank holiday weekend. Such a beautiful village and the pub is cosy. Staff were friendly and attentive, food was fantastic and the room really comfy and clean. It felt like a little slice of luxury and the walks nearby were really pretty and quiet.

A really lovely accessible pub with excellent food, atmosphere and service. You will not be disappointed! The pub is well decorated with an excellent menu and specials. The service is second to none but the place still has a very relaxed feel. Due to time constraints we only had the fish and chips but I would like to explore their menu further. The building is accessible and they do have an accessible toilet. However, due to the placement of both the baby changing facilities and the drop bar to the left of the lavatory, this rest room would not be at all accessible for a Quad or paraplegic. Please see my photos for details.

We had a night’s stay and a meal the following evening whilst visiting Oxford. We were really impressed by the staff and the room. The food was top class as well. A big thumbs up from us all round and we would definitely return the next time we’re in the area. Thanks again

We went for a Sunday lunch today. We were very impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. It was our sons birthday and they made a special dessert for him which we thought was lovely. Staff was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Price was average we thought for the area. Would happily return 👍
