The Oxfordshire Pantry

Nice cafe serving drinks and some basic food like scones and cakes. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. It can get busy in the peak summer. They don’t seem to mind you eating your homemade sandwiches if you buy a drink here.

My first visit to Blenheim palace. Stopped in the Pantry at opening time for a hot chocolate. £3.40 and relatively small mug, also just out of a machine- not very impressed. Popped in again around midday for some lunch. Opted for the box salad (quiche, coleslaw, potatoes, salad) ticket price marked at around £7 but young girl.on desk tried to charge more, when I queried and showed her ticket price she admended it-which was fine. Very nice boxed lunch salad.

Was impressed with this cafe, it was well maintained and had a brilliant range of cakes, light lunches and hot and cold drinks. The cakes were delicious and the sandwiche I had was fresh. The only downside is that when I went back in later in the day a lot of stuff had sold out.

Lovely selection of cakes, as well as pizza slices, sausage rolls etc. All a bit expensive, but only what you'd expect. Good outside seating front and back.

The Pantry is the most overpriced cafe we know and has the worst service, with all utensils, cups, plates, etc. made of paper, and the seating is basic and grudging.
