user reviews of Penny Black, Bicester

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Prices on a range of drinks have been lowered to provide competition with Yates further up the road. I like the choice of real ales when available.Perhaps I visit at quiet times because the tables have normaly been cleared. I think the locals at Bicester are spoiled for choice, the town has many good pubs, there realy is something for all tastes.

Not a lot to reccommend it, usual JD'S perhaps slighty dirtier than some although i have seen worse.
Customers are about what you would expect. Visit only if like myself you are desperate.

It's cheap but also filthy in my experience. I went in there a couple of weeks ago and a so-called waitress managed to spill the remnants of a coffee cup over both the carpet and my trousers (I managed to clean the latter myself). She walked off and 30 mins later hadn't come back to clean up the mess. It's a filthy place which seems full of drunks on the look out for cheap drinks with staff who seemingly couldn't give two hoots. One to avoid!!

Average Wetherspoons. Big time wino's hangout. Beer isn't bad though. Very good price, as per every other Wetherspoons (thanks to them buying almost out of date beer). Terrible layout and on a Friday and Saturday night you can expect far too many people in there geting a few cheap ones down to start the night off. Food is ok but the presentation is very hit and miss. The farmhouse breakfast on a Sunday is great to get rid of the Saturday night hangover though.

A fairly standard Wetherspoons pub with food, decent cheap beer and a nice patio area out the back where you can sit in the sun with a pint and escape the shoppers in the centre of town. It's child friendly which can be infuriating if you go to the pub to escape push chairs and other people's screaming kids. No music or tv screens which is a blessing or a curse depending on your state of mind.
