After a number of awful meals we no longer eat here. We go for a drink, the staff are polite but the food at this Hungry Horse is dreadfull. Many people are seen to be eating but a lot of food is left.The disabled toilet leaks and smells awful despite complaints over the last twelve months. I have used good H.Hs but this is not alone in poor presentation of the brand.

When we went to order our meals at the bar we said we wanted the alternatives to chips, but the bad tempered bar - maid said she already had put the order through and it couldn't be changed.
Later on a woman who knew her asked why she was in such a bad mood to which she replied " I don't want to be here !!"
So be warned as to what kind of "welcome" you will get at "The Hungry Horse"

Ordered a Sirloin Steak which was barely edible with lots of grissle.
My wifes stick of prawns were cold as were the peas and everything else.
Lots of kids running around and looked dirty

Awful place. Went for sunday lunch and all the high chairs were filthy - we arrived just as they had started serving food so it was previous days/ weeks mess. Health hazard for a young child.Carvery veg was watery and bland, the meat was ok. chairs and tables were sticky and the cutlery was a bit hit and miss as to whether it was clean. Chav central as well. AVOID.

This seems to have improved recently with English staff now in place
My wifes steak was served up rare with blood coming out of it even though she asked for medium.
Prices are fairly reasonable for what you get

Went back for Sunday lunch last weekend; still plenty of kids but I appreciated the lack of smoke, and the carvery had most definitely improved. It wasn't great but there was no frozen sweetcorn, and the carrots and cabbage seemed fresh.

I would agree with previous posts about unruly screaming kids.
The Speckled hen beer is good. Food can be a bit of a mix. The steaks themselves are good but the peripherals ( peas, mushrooms, chips ), are awful.
Floor is usually dirty, staff change every week it seems, and lots of noise from the brats.
If you can visit off peak it may be different, but its cheap.

Horrible. Even the carvery is a huge plate of nasty frozen veg.

Standard hungry horse. Too many kids. Under par food but cheap. Beer isn't too bad surprisingly and quite cheap. Smoke free which is (lterally) a breath of fresh air. Only worth while going there on quiet nights for a cheap pint. Terrible location but a very big pub.

Sad Nursery/Pub it has changed over the years never rated it before but this is the pits...more of a service station now

The menu is of the usual chill-microwave 'ding, ding chicken'variety. I was also put off by the dicatorial non-smoking prohibition and the fact that the place was full of screaming brats with parents who seemed not to care on jot. Basically a bit fat 0/10!

Typical Hungry Horse!! More like a Happy Eater. Full of unruly kids, Food is of poor quality. If your going to Bicester Village take a few more minutes to go into town where the quality is 10 fold.
