| A review score of 4/10 seems surprisingly low but I suspect most are a few years old. I hadn't been since 2004 and I remembered this to be a very pleasant place so 4 of us went for lunch on Sunday. I wasn't drinking so can't comment on the quality of the beer (they had 3 ales on tap including Seafarer's and London Pride) but the food was excellent and reasonably priced. £50 for four drinks, meals and coffees. Service was also quick, polite and helpful. It's a bit of a pain to get to from Oxford but it's well worth the trip. DuchyBoy - 19 May 2010 13:41 |
| Competent food-oriented establishment. A recent visit consisted of a pint of Seafarer's (probably the best thing in the Fuller's range at the moment), which was very good, plus meal for the lady and I. Both meals were very good, and service was friendly. I'd return. thomashenry - 19 Jun 2009 10:00 |
| I was rather surprised that a Fullers pub served a pint of London Pride so cold on a wet September evening that the glass was covered in condensation. The main gripe was with the food and the service however. Having selected a dish with "fresh cut chips" from the menu, I was most unhappy to be served what were clearly frozen chips. When I queried this with the manager he insisted that they were freshly cut each morning. Patent nonsense, and the waitress had admitted as much previously. No chance of us returning here. It was also apparent that the manger had favourites amonst the customers, he fawned over some and was most abrupt with others. stokiepotter - 9 Sep 2008 11:29 |
