We came to visit here after hearing the new owner was starting to make a bit more effort with his business after a year of being there. We were greeted by fag butts all over the floor, along with a load of rubbish and flower beds full of junk and fag butts. Not the greatest welcome, but we continued. The entrance corridor was dark and half lit by fairy lights on the ceiling. No one was really in the pub, apart from a couple of what I assume to be locals sitting at the bar. The bar area was a mess, with bottles everywhere, dirty glasses (not sure where they came from as the pub was empty). We asked to look at a menu and was handed a folded and ripped bit of paper, which was strewn with spelli...
The Unicorn is a well modernised pub set in the heart of the Market Place in Deddington. It 's larger than it looks from the outside as it goes back quite a long way and there are several separate areas. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the pub was well decorated for Christmas sitting near the window you also get a great view of the public Christmas tree in the Market Place and the attractive church beyond. They have a 'Farm to Fork ' ethos, indicating the provenance of how the meat is sourced. The menu Is fairly straightforward and I enjoyed a very good 8oz sirloin steak which was tender and juicy and came with a good range of accompanyments. My one disappointment here was the range of...
We stayed here for a pit stop overnight when visiting family in a nearby village and this place didn't disappoint. We received a very warm welcome from the landlord and landlady and check in was a breeze. They have a great selection of alcohol and it was really pleasing to see a village pub so busy. The building itself is stunning and much larger than I thought it would be with an extended restaurant and outdoor area with seating. The room had everything we needed for the night, including a bath and a shower and it overlooked the town square which was nice and quiet. The bed was very comfortable and we slept soundly. Our room was number 2. The breakfast menu has something for everyone with a...
So let me take you through my dinner Friday night, when I arrived an elderly lady in a staff top refused to serve me because she didn’t know how to pour a pint despite being the only one behind the bar for 20 mins. After we sat down and ordered food we were told we weren’t allowed it because the menu wasn’t updated and they didn’t have half of what we ordered and the girl behind the bar thought she was a joker for making fun of me for ordering a Camembert on my own... thanks. We spent more time waiting for our food than Anne frank waited in her loft and when it finally came out it looked like my mum got red wine drunk and through up on the pavement on a hot summers day. To top it all off one...

New mangement have recently opened after along closure. I have not stayed as I live nearby or eaten as yet. More when I do. The new owners have previous experience of running a sucessful pub and it shows. They have hit the ground running and the service and atmosphere are superb. They are attracting a lot of customers by creating a well run business. Good variety of ales and drinks. The food menu is ambitious and I look forward to indulging myself.
There may be a landlord 's name above the door but in the dozen times I 've been there has been no sign of a landlord. A teenager running the bar, fire places with no fires, a restaurant with no visible menu and closing at odd hours. Why did Charles Wells spend so much money on a refurb to end up with a truly awful place like this. I met the new 'landlord ' before the refurb and he promised a great pub..........where is it?
Yea! The Uncorn has it's mojo back. Newly refurbished, by new publicans, Mark and Hanna, it offers friendly, competant staff, decent wines and a small but perfectly formed lunch menu. There was nothing surprising on the menu but our meals, sea bass and mussles, were quality foods, perfectly cooked and were standout delicious. The mussel broth was the best I had ever eaten and I've eaten lots. Lucky Deddington!
It's an amazingly, cozy and beautiful place. In all seasons the decorations makes it seems BEAUTIFUL. The owner is super friendly and welcoming makes you feel welcome and so comfortable like you're in your own house. It's a place YOU HAVE to visit. And the food is also delicious and some recipes are unique to this place.

In deddington over the weekend for a family party and stayed at the Unicorn. Will definitely be our regular to to on our visits. The hosts were warm and welcoming as we're the staff. The good was excellent. The accommodation brilliant best two nights sleep I have had. Would highly recommend.
Being disabled and a wheelchair user we had to use a side room isolated from the main area. The soup would have been very nice had it been hot. The main course looked as if it had been thrown on the plate. with huge lumps of meat not slices. We won't be going again.
