Meet Us

There is nothing quite like a ‘good night out’, and under the new Management of Nigel and Samantha James, The Admiral Benbow hope to provide exactly that.


Nigel and Samantha are both local people. Nigel (The Chef), originally from Abingdon, and Samantha (The Hostess), from Sutton Courtenay, have been married for 25 years and have four children. They have run businesses and lived locally since getting married.


They have completely re-designed the Lunch time and Evening Menu and hope to provide something for everyone, with reasonably priced wines to compliment your meal.


All of their food is cooked fresh to order, with a fresh home made soup every day, and daily specials available at lunch and dinner.


On Sunday Lunchtimes they will be serving a traditional ‘Sunday Roast’, with a choice of two Roast Meats with all of the trimmings, and a home made dessert.


Children are welcome before 8.30pm in the restaurant when dining with adults, and during the summer months, along with you, they can enjoy the beautiful walled garden.
