The Turf Tavern, Oxford

What a shame that such a charming historic pub should be marred by rude management. We were a large party of well-behaved individuals, who had phoned ahead to let them know we were coming. We got nothing but snarls, sarcasm and outright hostility. A disabled member of our party was repeatedly knocked into by the surly manager, and he didn't apologise (we had also asked about wheelchair access ahead of time). Two members of our party began to sing; apparently this is against the rules � well, rules is rules, but there is no need for unpleasantness. I shall not be returning until there's a change of management.
