The Clipper, Exmouth

Truly terrible experience. Booked a table to eat there. Ordered food all at same time and it with a delay of 1 hour for the arrival of the first main meal to the arrival of the last main meal, all ordered the same time. Burger had to be sent back as it was burnt, lasange boiling hot at one end and cold in the middle. FIsh cake was so salty as to be inedible and chips were cold cardboard. Children's chicken and pea noodles were too peppery to eat. The only redeeming feature was the staff were friendly.

The Duke Of Cambridge, Oxford

A vile place that is never good for a beer in the evening. Over priced selection of bottled beers only, tart's boudoir decor and clientele that I was happy to leave there. Not for me - clearly works for others, but definitely not me.

The Watermans Arms, Oxford

Newly refurbished after several years in decline, the re-named Punter is a joy. The new landlord is friendly and welcoming. The beer tastes very much better than it has for many years here and there is a proper, nicely balanced wine list too. The food was delicious although not cheap -more for a night out rather than a quick bit of pub grub. But this is not a gastro "pub" where you are not welcome if you are not eating. I thoroughly recommend this phoenix and look forward to many happy nights there.
