The Sussex Ox, Milton Street

I've been here a few times. The first time, the kitchen forgot my order and I had to wait an hour for dinner. The next few times were fine - food ok, service good. The most recent occurrence was this Saturday. We arrived at 2.20pm to find the kitchen closes at 2pm (what pub closes their kitchen at 2pm on a weekend?!) and then we were chucked out just after 3pm with 2 small kids to wait for my husband to bring the car around (we'd had a flat tyre which he had to quickly fix); I told the landlord my car ride was just 15 minutes away - but they still chucked us out in the rain. NOT impressed and won't be going back ever again.

The Weavers, Southborough

I was surprised to read the other 2 reviews for The Weavers and wonder if they're writing about the same Weavers that I know! My husband and I really like this pub - the staff are exceptionally friendly (particularly the restaurant staff) and the food well presented and delicious. The only downside is that the restaurant is very close to the bar so it can get a bit smokey (cigarettes) at times - but this will soon change with the government's smoking ban. In the summer they have patio tables in the garden which is nice for lunch or a drink. It's a lovely pub and would recommend it to anyone.
