The Bull Hotel, Burford

Having read the previous reviews, I'm really disappointed that we didn't have the same good experience. We stopped here for lunch on a long drive back from a weekend away because it looked promising.

The atmosphere left something to be desired - it was almost totally silent which made us feel rather self-conscious - some music would have been good. The service was OK, nothing to write home about, but the food really let the place down. Rubber tuna, tagliatelle swimming in oil and the "seafood" on the menu was actually sliced crab sticks! At over �13, I thought this was a bit much.

Such a shame because it looks so nice. Very disappointing.

Lovely setting, go for a drink in the summer but don't bother to eat unless it's crisps from the bar.

The food is bland, unappealing and overpriced and the service is terrible. I've paid a lot less elsewhere and eaten far better food. Even the bar is understaffed and offers sullen, shoddy service.
