The Mitre, Oxford

Went to the Mitre on Saturday and wont be going again. Nice traditional place wasnt busy which was good. We were seated straight away but no-one came to take a drinks order and we didnt see our waiter for 25 mins despite there being only 2 other tables in our area. Finally he took our food order and still didnt ask if we wanted drinks. When we finally saw him again we asked for drinks but somehow they took 15 mins to arrive, long after the starter! Food however was good although main course was missing onion rings as per the menu, when asked we were told there werent any, no mention of that when food was ordered. Drinks again when ordered took another 10 mins or so despite the bar beong 20 ft from where we were sat. Diabolical service but reasonably good food if a little pricey.
