| Mid C18 flint rubble pub which CAMRA describes as once having a public bar to the left and a private bar to the right with an off-sales in-between facing the door. The off-sales is still evident with its still-working glazed hatch. In the public bar is a large fireplace with a bread oven on its left-hand side. The right-hand bar acts nowadays as a thoroughfare to the modern barn restaurant. Didn't get a chance to stick my head into the "parlour" or the other little room as it was so busy on Easter Saturday meaning we had to sit outside. Only one handpull which was a good Brakspear's Gravity. paul_d102 - 1 Apr 2024 16:25 |
| Went to this pub back in 2004 and to be honest after all the hype it received I was very dissapointed. I had a ploughmans lunch, which is so easy to get right except in this case the bread was stale and the cheese was sweaty. Fast Forward now to 2010, we walked on Watlington Hill on New Years Day and decided to give the Top Fox a second chance, it was a decision worth making, I had the Welsh Rarebit to start and the All Day Breakfast, which I really enjoyed. Others had the Butternut Squash Soup and Fish & Chips which were well received too. The condition of the Brakspears Beer was excellent as was the attentitive nature the staff despite the pub being packed. We shall certainly be visiting again :) Pukkapint - 9 Jan 2010 15:51 |
