My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant after friends recommended it. I have to say, we were both utterly disappointed with everything- the food, the service, the whole experience.
The setting was pleasant and intimate. My boyfriend ordered a pizza, and I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. We also ordered garlic bread. I was presented with the most tiny garlic bread I have ever seen, so I was not impressed. I hoped at least the main courses would be good. When they arrived (after over half an hour of waiting) my carbonara was revolting: spaghetti swimming in a watery supermarket style sauce, with a few measly bits of ham and (oddly) whole mushrooms thrown in! My boyfriend's pizza was equally supermarket-tasting.
For the price, which is pretty expensive, the many reasonably-priced, decent italian restaurants in Banbury far surpass Peppers. The service was also poor; we had to wait a long time to catch the waitress's attention, and the place seemed to be run by teenagers, more intent on chatting to each other than doing their jobs. When we left, we did not even receive a good bye!
Suffice it to say that I will not be returning to Peppers, and I would advise anyone thinking of going there to look elsewhere.
