Good Points: Everything?
Bad Points: Nothing
General comments: Ok so get ready for a really awful sickly sweet eulogy, I don't usually write these things but feel moved to do so for this particularly special pub.
It is the best pub you could possibly wish to visit. I have never had such a welcome when visiting a pub and the food is as good as you will get anywhere. There are more and more brilliant pubs now and plenty we love but this is definitely at the top of the list. We do not live nearby but we always stop by if in the area.
They make/grow as much as they can and they create a really imaginative menu with what they have. Take a look at their website for a better feel. Eulogy over!

The Half Moon in Cuxham is a great place. It isn't expensive, and the menu is never the same. A walk round the garden and you will see all the home grown vegetables, and chickens maturing for your plate on your next visit.
I have never had a bad meal in over 50 visits. You do need to book early as there is always limited space.

This place has apparently been transformed by the new "owners" who took over in May 2006. The pub used to be more of a snotty French restaurant, and we, like many other locals avoided the place for entirely that reason. However, having heard that new owners were in place, we pottered down from Watlington, and we were amazed at the quality and choice of food, not to mention the value. They serve some standard gastro-pub classics e.g. moules marinere, which are as good as, if not better, than you ...

The food was fantastic - all cooked to order with really fresh ingredients. The owners have created a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We were a table of 8 that we booked in advance, and we found the service at The Half Moon to be efficient and slick. It's not often you find a restaurant that changes its menu every day (hence the one menu board).
We'll be back as soon as possible!

I really would like to see these people do well. I understand The Half Moon was very busy but the main 3 tables were booked in advance. I know this because we knew people on those tables and they informed us they had made the reservations days ago. The manager / owner should have therefore reviewed their service requirements to accommodate an almost full restaurant.
Having only one blackboard for the menu is crazy. Unless I could order in advance and be assured that the service has improved s ...

This was my first time eating at The Half Moon and I will be going back. We decided to try somewhere different for my brother's birthday meal. There were 7 of us in total. I'm a very fussy eater so I'm always concerned about trying some where new but I had no trouble finding plenty I like on the menu. The food was wonderful, we had to wait half hour or so for the main meal but to be fair all food is cooked from fresh, so you can't complain when it's quality food. This is a great English friendly ...

The Half Moon at Cuxham - wow! what a find! The tenants have been there since May and have transformed the place. If you love your food and are looking for a relaxed friendly atmosphere, this is the place to find it. Fresh food cooked to order with the freshest ingredients. I just wish I lived closer!

The Half Moon in Cuxham has been transformed by the new owners and it is now a lovely country pub that also serves great food. The service is superb and you will get a genuinely friendly welcome. Open on Mondays for lunch and dinner but only bar nibbles on a Tuesday.

I, my wife, my family, my friends and my colleagues dine at Madoui's at The Half Moon on a regular basis. The food is always first class and the service exceptional. Friendliness comes as standard. Chef Patron Alain is entertaining, friendly and helpful to a fault. The chef skills are evident by the quality of the cuisine.
I ask anyone reading the reviews to simply take a drive out to Cuxham and discover for yourself the delights of Madoui's at The Half Moon.

Having been an infrequent but consistent visitor to The Half Moon pub over the past few years we, husband and I, were intrigued to sample the cuisine since the the arrival of the new owners. As a Vegetarian finding character filled restaurants that offer a choice of suitable foods can be troublesome. The Half Moon was a joy in this respect. Upon mentioning that I was a Vegetarian I was told, "if there is nothing that appeals to you on the menu we'll be happy to prepare something especially for y ...

Don't be discouraged by the bad review earlier - The Half Moon really is worth the detour to go to; excellent starters - smoked salmon & fig salad, goats cheese & bacon salad; main - rack of lamb for two, excellent selection of fish; good wine list; reasonable price.

Will sever my own head before I enter The Half Moon Pub in Cuxham again. So much for fine cuisine done "proper".

The Half Moon in Cuxham is the ideal place for a quick pint or a long leisurely meal. Food is amazingly fresh, the chef even brings the raw ingredients out so you can tell just how fresh it has to be!!
Traditional decor with a difference. Beams and little fire places veer on the traditional side and quirky pictures and bits and bobs show the personalities of the owners.
Definitely worth a visit whether for a beer, snack or full 3 course meal.
