| Surprised by the reviews on here - Burford looks a wonderful place but maybe the pubs don't do it justice. This was the first pub we encountered following our walk in the local countryside. Quite busy with punters - the barstaff were pleasant and helpful. Several Wadworth Ales on - I had the Horizon, which was absolutely fine. Food was good as well. Mappiman - 9 Aug 2015 13:58 |
| Not what it used to be, and not for the better either. Flat beer and warm food. Won't get into the good beer guide anyway.Burford needs a good pub but why is it so dificult? Davydee - 12 Aug 2011 11:01 |
| Oh dear; what a disappointment! Every year we attend the Levellers festival in Burford and we found this pub last year. Stone flagged floors, sympathetic furniture, toby jugs hanging from the ceiling, no music, ploughman's lunches, a great pint of beer and a lovely landlord. But no more! The toby mugs have gone and in its place large clumps of wiring protrude from an untidy, cheap looking plaster board ceiling. New furniture has arrived together with a TV and loud rock music is played out at a terrific volume whilst the staff ignore requests to turn it down. The food is alright though overpriced. If the loss of atmosphere wasn't enough the beer has gone down hill also. The Wadworth Horizon I was given was the flat dregs of an old barrel and should certainly not have been given to a customer. The 6X which replaced it and which I had to ask twice for a disappointment. The whole ambiance of a traditional English pub in a picturesque Market Town has been completely destroyed and the staff are neither particularly friendly or competent either. a1ex_e1 - 15 May 2011 09:10 |
| In a town with few proper pubs this looks and feels like one - unfortunately the beer (on this occassion Henry's IPA) was undrinkable murk. Burford is such a pleasant picturesque little town but not somewhere a proper ale drinker should consider residing in anonymous - 1 May 2010 23:42 |
| The sign outside says "Not a gastro pub". You better believe it - DO NOT EAT HERE. The food took 45 minutes to arrive and was inedible. Clearly it was reheated from frozen, but completely tasteless. The boiled potatoes hadn't even been properly cleaned. When I mentioned my dissatisfaction to the landlady she just smiled and shrugged. guystevens - 25 Mar 2009 22:25 |
