Have discovered this perfect traditional village pub fairly recently. It "ticks all the boxes" and is now the firm family favourite.
1. Great food, reasonably priced and served in good time by friendly staff.
2. A particularly well-kept pint of Guinness and a selection of hand-drawn ales that represent very good value.
3. Ancient honey-coloured local stone and thatch in a tranquil, picturesque village opposite ancient church and alongside canal.
4. Friendly locals, charming hosts.
Possibly Oxfordshire's best kept secret. Shhhhh........Don't tell anyone.

We popped in here from our boat for a quick drink and some lunch this weekend. I ordered 2 x lime cordial & soda waters at the bar, with the intention of ordering beers and bar food shortly, but when the bill for 2 x lime cordials (as in a glass with water, some ice, a dash of lime cordial from a plastic bottle, and carbonated tap water from the coke machine, not a bottle of mineral water) came out, it was �5.20 for 2 glasses. �2.60 a glass. I�ve had cheaper pints of beer, and a lot of beer is duty & tax. I can�t believe it cost them more than 15p, which is why in most pubs it�s like 50p or �1.
Ridiculously over-priced drinks, combined with rather surly service, meant we just enjoyed our soft drinks and skipped lunch and beer. The food looked quite nice, but I don�t appreciate being RIPPED OFF for soft drinks, so they can forget my business in future.
If you are looking for recommendations of pubs in Croperdy, do yourself a favour, save some money, and go elsewhere�

Quaint well kept thatched pub, nicely furnished with comfortable lounge, restaurant and bar areas. Serves a limited range of real ales. Food looked good although I didn't eat at the pub myself. Small, nice beer garden, limited parking. Definately geared up for the canal holiday makers and tourists, which isn't a bad comment as that demands a higher standard to compete. Well worth a visit. Toilet marks: 7/10.

Visted last weekend when on a narrowboat trip. Very nice looking pub inside and out. We had not booked and there was a table free but they would not take our food order until all the booked tables had ordered and been served. They were busy and clearly at capacity and it took more than an hour and a half to get our meal - which to be fair was good when we received it. Had a couple of pints of Hook Norton which were fair but a bit on the 'flat' side. Agree with the other comments about this not being a 'locals' pub.

Nice and more traditional than the Brasenose but very expensive with limited drinks to choose from.
Suffers from the same afflication as the Brasenose as it's clearly catering for the Londoners who've moved into the area rather than the locals and the canal like it did originally!

Old thatched pub in the village of Cropredy. The pub is on a small lane, opposite the Church and just a few paces from the canal towpath. The bar is tiny and had just one member of staff behind it on our visit, but despite being busy everyone still got served quickly and in turn. There were 3 real ales on when we visited and those tried were on top form, although perhaps a bit expensive. Food is served and the menu includes an interesting mix of dishes along side traditional pub favourites. It's not particularly cheap, but not over priced either and all of top quality. There is a pleasant garden to the rear by the car park. The pubs car park is very small and on road parking limited. Well woth a visit.

Pretty hard to fault. Chocolate box-pretty thatched pub in canal village. Good food and ale. Pleasant staff, especially the young fellow who was earning a few bob in the 'varsity holidays. Friendly natives. A bit dear, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Nice looking stone pub near the canal in this pleasant village. Some quite interesting real ales that seemed to be well kept. Something of a gastropub with a good menu and the food was very good although definitely on the expensive side (�10-15 per main course). Gets very busy and may need to book if eating. Not somewhere to go everyday but good if looking for a nice meal out in a pleasant atmosphere, albeit at a price.

Half a lager and glass of white wine �5.90 and with crisps at a �1.00 a packet I will not be going there again.

Very welcoming. Landlord and landlady were fascinated by our greyhound. Looked to be a good menu (but we weren't eating). Beer very good.
