The Plough, Great Haseley

Used to pop in on visits to see my Mum until it closed. Have now been in about 6 times since the village bought and refurbished it. Wow - what a change. Cosy old fashioned bar with Doom Bar and various XT ales (from nearby Long Crendon). Separate dining area with a great menu beautifully cooked. There's a nice little dining snug as well. I don't eat every time (but wish I did) and can't give everything a good sampling (driving)
My Mum is getting suspicious of my increased visiting frequency and sympathetic to all the M40 traffic that makes me late every time!

The Swan Hotel, Thame

CLOSED DOWN at the beginning of 2012. Shame.

The Red Lion Inn, Chalgrove

Certainly one of the best pubs in Oxfordshire.
Always a changing feast of real ales, proper ciders and perfectly kept Guinness. The food is amazingly good. I understand the proprietor is a really highly qualified chef.
Huge garden for the summer. Huge fire for the winter. It's always busy - the locals are blessed to have this as their local.
