Greene King pub dispensing IPA and Old Speckled Hen on our Sunday afternoon visit. Locals crowded around the bar made it difficult to order, with everybody queueing for the one free space. Lots of kids running amok didn't particularly help matters. Music was playing whilst the TVs were also on showing Premiership football. We decided to eat. The food was better than I anticipated but was nothing to write home about. Sticky tables did nothing to enhance our culinary experience. Sir Winston Churchill and his family are buried in the churchyard opposite and Churchill pictures line the walls in the pub. A fairly average place.

Friendly enough pub. Food slightly uninspiring and maybe would not eat there again.

Visited November 2009, seemed very welcoming at first, with a coal burning stove in one room and a traditional british pub bar. The beer was good but we were disappointed with the food. Sausages appeared to be low quality cheap catering ones, with mashed potato which was obviously not warmed properly in the microwave! The 16oz steak when it arrived did not appear to be anywhere near that weight and was overcooked. On another visit other people seemed happy with their meals so perhaps we were just unlucky but we didn't tempt fate twice with the food. The last visit was spoilt by some of the local youths shouting and swearing during the evening. Will not be going out of my way to visit in the future.

I took my walking group there for a Sunday dinner. I ordered the roast chicken with trimmings. What I got was a piece of chicken breast that had clearly been grilled, and not much in the way of vegetables or potatoes. I would have sent if back, except that I had another event to get to. Members in my group were also disatisfied with their meals. Rating out of 10 = 0

Being as the hash, 20 to 40 of us, usually all meet around 7pm before going off for a run to arrive back at the pub at 8pm 'ish we're used to having to wait a while at the bar to get served, despite having warned the pub well in advance that we're coming and they might like to lay on more staff than usual. This pub must have taken notice for a change and actually did have four or so people behind the bar serving us very efficiently and quickly, so thanks.

Lots of memoribilia up on the walls of this pub which serves a very small village outside Oxford. Had to struggle with the French barmaid to find out that I'd just missed the last chance for dinner. The beer was alright though.
