Sundays Done Right.
Roast Dinners at The Market Tavern, Bampton
There’s no better way to round off the week than with a proper Sunday roast and at The Market Tavern in Bampton, we take Sundays seriously. Served every week from 12:00 to 4:00pm, our Sunday Lunch menu is a celebration of seasonal British cooking, locally sourced ingredients, and warm, relaxed hospitality in the heart of West Oxfordshire. (À la carte menu served 6pm to 8pm).
Whether you're a local, a weekend visitor, or exploring the Cotswolds AONB, our roast dinners are worth the stop. Think crispy potatoes, fluffy Yorkshires, rich gravy, and a pudding to finish things off properly.

Small Plates, Big Flavours
If you fancy something lighter to start, our menu includes a rotating selection of seasonal small plates and bar snacks. From home-smoked salmon to the ever-popular Bampton Royal Scotch Egg, our starters are perfect for grazing with a glass of wine or local ale.
Pair your plate with something from our cocktail menu, or sip on a pint from our rotating tap, featuring brews from Hook Norton Brewery.
End with a Classic British Pudding
Of course, no Sunday lunch is complete without dessert. Our puds celebrate the best of traditional British baking. From sticky toffee pudding to fruit crumble, warm chocolate brownie, or a scoop of ice cream or sorbet.
Make a Day of It in Bampton
Located in one of Oxfordshire’s most picturesque villages—also known as a filming location for Downton Abbey, The Market Tavern is the perfect destination for a lazy Sunday in the Cotswolds.
Before or after your roast, take a stroll along The Downton Mile, a short walking route that takes you past Bampton’s most iconic filming spots. It’s a lovely way to explore the village, soak up the atmosphere, and work up an appetite.
And if you don’t feel like rushing home, you can even stay the night. Our boutique rooms are designed for comfort, charm, and a proper Oxfordshire escape.
