The Two Brewers Inn, Chipperfield

Lovely re-furbishment and wonderful location. Just a shame that the quality of the food and the standard of service don't match that. Taking over 20 minutes from placing the order (and this was after the lunchtime peak!) to serve luke warm soup tasting as if it came straight from the tin isn't good. A steak pie containing some brown awful tasting liquid purporting to be gravy was worse. To be fair, tuna fish cake and scampi were middling; mange tout were cooked excellently! But not a place to return to quickly.

The Blacks Head, Bletchingdon

Arrived in pub 12:17 - served beer at 12:33. Food ordered 12:43 - arrived 13:15. Service appalling. How can anyone get a jacket potato with tuna filling wrong? This pub can - by not heating the centre of the pre cooked potato and serving it as it came out of the chiller. My advice is to avoid if at all possible.
