An idyllic setting, this place is more of a restaurant than a pub although I've heard the food can disappoint. we popped in for a coffee which while hardly rock and roll behaviour, did go down well on a winter's day. Only Ols Speckled Hen was on on the. Ale front which is obviously lamentable.

A surprising place. We enjoyed a lovely walk through quite residential streets and picturesque fields to get from the City centre to this quiet village out near the ring road. The pub is run by the Peach Pub company which appears to run ten or twelve pubs in various locations in the counties north-west of London.

The pub looks unremarkable from the outside, but once you step indoors the sheer size and scale of the place becomes apparent. A large, almost entirely food-led interior leads on to a nice outside terrace looking down on a huge beer garden. The whole place was jam-packed with seemingly every young professional couple with kids in Oxfordshire on the sunny Sunday afternoon we visited. Gastropub food inside, and pre-prepared picnic hampers for those in the garden. Our food was good although the service was very slow - we sat down for a late lunch at 2.30pm and it was near 5 by the time we'd had a main course and pudding. Ales available were GK IPA and Jekyll's from Manchester-based Hyde brewery (I see what they've done there) - the latter was quite well-served.

I'm not sure I'd return here in a tearing hurry, but it offered a decent feed and an eye-opening insight into how popular a large-scale country gastropub like this can be.

This is a place you could to take your mum, or your poncey london mates when they visit. It has full-on restaurant action in the back (the mixed fish/meat starters are brilliant), and relaxed newspaper reading pub in the front. In the summer the garden is a picnic/bbq area where they supply the food. Also picturesque. Do it!

Went to this pub earlier this summer. It's large and airy and would suit families, couples or groups - there's space for them all. The food was excellent and not overpriced. The hamper idea is very good. If you go there, you definately will return and I don't even work there!!
