The Acorn, Bicester

Visited The Acorn today for the first time. Maybe a bit harsh posting a review after only one visit, but it was terrible. The Guinness was good, should've left it at that with hindsight. I was very hungry so I ordered a burger & chips, how can you get that wrong? The chips were fine but the burger itself was dire, it could not have been more shriveled, dry or granite like.
I could've complained (& should've) but time was against me & I felt sure I would've been offered a free meal or vouchers, neither of which I fancied, when all I wanted was a decent burger in the first place. What annoys me the most is that a "kitchen proffesional" saw fit to serve the thing. It had probably spent more time in the poxy kitchen as most of the staff.
I know this sort of a review is not what Beer In The Evening is really about but I doubt you'd find The Acorn on, say, the Michelin star restaurant guide.
