Overlooking Wallingford’s market square, the Grade II listed building in St Martin’s Street that was once home to the town’s prominent post office, first re-opened its doors as an Oakman Inn in 2009. In addition to bearing the same name, The Old Post Office features many of the original elements, including the Victorian counter, and the traditional red post box situated in our front courtyard.
Open from morning to late, we serve locally and regionally sourced food with a Mediterranean influence in our large, elegant open plan dining room. Guests can watch as our chefs prepare our extensive and varied menu in our open kitchen, which at its heart features a charcoal-fuelled Josper grill and wood-fired pizza oven.
And whether you’re tempted by traditional home comforts ,or prefer to indulge in freshly made Calzone, you’ll find everything cooked to perfection. Most dietary requirements are met with ease, and families can choose from dishes that go beyond the standard fare for children.
Throughout The Old Post Office, our interior is welcoming and spacious, with snug bar areas and a comfortable lounge. Our central location makes us a hive of local activity that’s as suited to couples as it is to colleagues enjoying a drink after work.

a week agoI visited The Old Post Office in Wallingford last night with family, and it was a really disappointing experience. How it’s gone down hill since the previous owner lived on! I appreciate that a Monday night is naturally quieter than the weekend, but there was absolutely no ambience and service was very poor from the outset. When we arrived at our table, we were told there was only one beer available out of the five or six that were meant to be on offer. Shortly after, the waiter then reeled off a long list of items that also weren’t available from the menu, which didn’t inspire much confidence. Service was incredibly slow — it took far too long to even be served drinks, and even longer before anyone asked what we’d like to eat. The biggest issue was the fish and chips main. We were told it was a “regular” portion, despite receiving half the fish (which was caked in batter). For nearly £20, it represented extremely poor value for money. When we asked to speak to the manager about it, the manager did not come over and instead sent the waiter back to continue the discussion, which felt dismissive. Overall, the food tasted good but was overshadowed by very poor service. A very underwhelming evening — we won’t be returning unfortunately.

3 weeks agoVery good pub, they do brunch. Very generous portions, very welcoming staff, a top-notch cook first thing in the morning, later joined by two other equally good chefs.
