The Prince of Wales, Shrivenham

The POW has changed hands twice recently and is lacking in atmosphere at the moment but hopefully will improve as the new landlords settle in. This is a good old fashioned village pub with real ale, fire, garden, etc & I hope it isn't 'improved' by Sky TV, crap piped music & other modern horrors!

The Woodman, Fernham

I'f you're going to The Woodman on the weekend for food always make sure you book first. This Saturday we didn't and, despite being given drinks, a table and menus, were ignored for 40mins. When I asked if we could order, we were told that customers who booked came first and we'd have to wait. Fair enough, but it doesn't cost anything to apologise for the delay & maybe offer a few olives, a bit of bread and ask if we'd like more drinks. In short, the food and beer are good here but the service is going downhill.

The Lamb Inn, Clearwell

A cracking place - a traditional pub with a relaxed atmosphere and good beer. Probably the best pub in the Forest - a rare survival.
