The Waggon and Horses, Southmoor

Closed at 10pm on a Friday and everyone was ordered to leave because the landlords had ordered a takeaway. Disappointed in the new ownership entirely.

Hinds Head, Kingston Bagpuize

Reading through these reviews all I can say is what a load of rubbish that people have written. We regularly visit this pub as we live locally, it is the only pub in the village that is good now. The landlady and landlord have done a considerable amount of work since the last reviews, turning the old front restaurant and lounge bar in to one room, they've also redecorated and have plans to convert one of the out buildings in to accommodation.
There's always a good selection of real ales, and they're kept in top condition, if there is a ever a problem it is rectified quickly. The staff are friendly and really attentive as well. As for the comment earlier about staff in own clothes, yes they do wear their own clothes but are still presentable. I can't help but think the previous reviewers have a bee in their bonnet about the place reopening?
The pricing is competitive, and I've paid far more for a pint in other pubs in the village, this pub is the cheapest by far.
The Sunday Roast is definitely the best. Meat cooked beautifully every time we've been there, and it's £13 for 3 courses. Really good value for money. People just need to give it a chance again I think. After the mistakes previous management made it's amazing how well the current lot are doing. It appears people's opinions die hard.
