Charming riverside cafe off Burford High Street delivering thoughtfully cooked brunch-lunch plates and excellent bakes in a tranquil garden setting, with moderate prices and occasional waits.
Preliminary Grade: This restaurant has only 46 reviews, which is below our 100-review minimum for reliable grading. This grade should be considered preliminary until more reviews are available. Thyme & Lovage exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional food quality anchored in careful technique and quality ingredients—poached eggs, hollandaise, and mushroom-truffle soup with warm cheese scones consistently earn praise.
One caveat: Service can slow during peaks (10 minutes for coffee and ~30 minutes for food mentioned by a few diners)
