"We came to visit here after hearing the new owner was starting to make a bit more effort with his business after a year of being there. We were greeted by fag butts all over the floor, along with a load of rubbish and flower beds full of junk and fag butts. Not the greatest welcome, but we continued. The entrance corridor was dark and half lit by fairy lights on the ceiling. No one was really in the pub, apart from a couple of what I assume to be locals sitting at the bar. The bar area was a mess, with bottles everywhere, dirty glasses (not sure where they came from as the pub was empty). We asked to look at a menu and was handed a folded and ripped bit of paper, which was strewn with spelling and grammar mistakes. The guy behind the bar looked totally at a loss surrounded by mess on his own. The coffee machine was surrounded by dirty napkins and sachets of sugar, with a pint of milk sat out on the side (not in the fridge). The floors don’t seem to have been washed since 2015, and don’t even get me started on the windows. What was once a beautiful beer garden is now covered with tents and tables are stacked in the flower beds. There’s no real sign of life outside apart from the mould that seemed to be growing in the ash trays. The pizza oven is filled with fag butts and rubbish, something I’m sure environmental health would have a field day with. I was also suggested to go upstairs to the ‘pool room’ a room with sticky floors, sticky tables and more strewn rubbish. The pool table barely works without a good kick in told. I popped outside of said pool room to find a stair case leading down to the garden covered in glass and yeah you guessed it fag butts. It’s such a shame that this lovely little pub has been treated with such lack of respect, and it is now so far away from its former glory that its hard to believe it will ever regain it. I will not be coming back."

"Stayed here for a few days.. The manager is very friendly and so are the staff.. Regards to the facilities and what you would expect from a hotel, not the best. When I booked it said cooked breakfast was included in the price but when we arrived the manager said it was just a continental breakfast which was just standard.. So we decided to go to Jennys cafe across the road which was lovely.. We returned back from a evening out and found water leaking from the ceiling luckily the water had just missed going into my shopping bags from Bicester which I would of been furious about.. The manager did move us straight away to the room upstairs but said that we wouldn't be able to have a shower as there was no hot water in there and the plumber would be coming to fix it the next day (but I think this was a lie as there was hot water) .. This meant that we had to go back down too our original room and shower in the morning which stank of damp because of the leak the previous night.. We hoped that we would be able to stay in the upstairs room but Manager said we could only stay in there for that one night and had to return back to our old room... They don't provide Toiletries which is unheard of in a Hotel as this should come a standard.. We had to ask the cleaner to change our sheets as we wanted clean ones because we were there for 3nights, the cleaner did change them but was a bit reluctant due to Covid19... The rooms are nice, spacious, traditional decor and the bed was comfortable.. Local to everything so a good location but definitely won't be staying here again"

"Flavour mostly great, but felt short changed. Been before, money wasn’t an issue, ordered food tasted great. Went today on the way back from something, but feel a bit disappointed. Couldn’t choose between the club sarnie, the chorizo and red pepper crostini and the dhal, so opted for all 3. The club sandwich offers maximum flavour, but lacks on substance for me. If I’m paying £13,50 for a club sandwich I want to be remotely full at the end attached is a picture of one of the 2 same sized pieces of chicken not good enough. The basil Mayo is to die for, I will add. The crostini, again, isn’t anywhere near filling enough to warrant the price. You can’t deny the flavour, but one slice of sourdough with a few cooked peppers, some aioli and 3 slithers or chorizo isn’t just cause for charging £14 it’s not on. What’s frustrating is again, the flavour is superb, but it’s here’s just not enough there to warrant the hefty price. Then we get on to the Dhal, which to be frank was an utter disgrace. Sour, watery, lacked seasoning and overall depth. Undercooked root veg on top and just an out and out disappointment, especially when the other 2 dishes we’d ordered weren’t sizeable enough to quell any hunger pains. A decent sized portion, just a shame it was such a poor dish. Also, £6.25 for a milkshake is an utter disgrace and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Perplexed the place is as busy as it is. Staff seem attentive and friendly, can’t quarrel that but the portion sizes are hugely substandard, given the astronomical prices. Won’t be rushing back, which is a shame. Not much around those parts with the ideas and flavour (aside from the watery dhal), but the portions are 50% too small. I will add, my wife and I are slight, modest eaters far from greedy pigs."
