The Nut Tree Inn, Murcott

Posh pub-restaurant, if you can find it. Probably need to book if you want a meal on weekends. Good range of beers, wines, spirits. Expensive but definitely good value and superb quality food. Try it!

The Kings Arms Hotel, Bicester

Another ex-local. One I don't miss, particularly, as in it's nothing amazingly special. However, it serves its purpose - if you want some reasonable food that is a step up from the other chain pubs on the main street, then the Kings Arms is a good bet. New Year's Eve party is generally a good laugh. Overall, a bit hit-and-miss. The locals that have stuck with this pub are a good, friendly bunch. I hope that the Kings gets mamangement/staff that stay for longer than 9months at a time to give stability and continuity it desperately needs.

The Olde Plough Inn, Bere Ferrers

This pub is simply splendid. Recently renovated beer garden is fantastic in the summer with stunning views over the River Tamar. The pub inside is charming and characterful, with good local ale, local cider (strong) and the menu is sublime. There isn't much else to Bere Ferrers, although the church is lovely with some of the olderst stained glass in the country. Yes, this used to be my local. I miss it and visit when I venture back to deepest darkest Devon. Visit this pub and enjoy!
