The Home Sweet Home Inn, Wallingford

An Oxfordshire village pub of some character, being all low oak beamed ceilings, stone walls and open fireplaces as well described below. You enter into the main low ceilinged bare floored bar area and open functioning fireplace which had a real fire on the go for our visit and then the rest of the pub stretches to the right beyond the second non-functioning fireplace, and for our Sunday lunchtime visit this multi partitioned area was completely set for dining as the Sunday roasts are very popular here and was the primary reason for our visit. Three Waddington’s beers were available in the shape of IPA, 6X and Horizon and then a hand-written pump clip announced Black Sheep Bitter as a guest on the fourth pump. Very friendly service levels experienced in both the bar and the restaurant and the Sunday roasts were very good, totally justifying their current ratings on trip advisor. The pub also benefits from a large garden area to the front which I can imagine will be a good spot for a pint in summer because although it fronts onto the road Roke is a fairly quiet out the way village.
