The New Inn, Witney

Small range of changing real ales, but you can get a taster to make sure you order something you like. Slightly off the beaten track so could do with a web site to let people know what's going on.

Peartree Bridge Inn, Milton Keynes

It could be argued that the clientele aren�t the best to be associated with, but for value for money this place can�t be beaten. �5.39 for a carvery meal and a pint of Bombardier is exceptional if not unique. The food quality is by no means the finest but much better than you might expect for �3.50. A large portion of meat (selection of beef, turkey and gammon) and as much veg (a good range including cheese cauliflower, though some may say some of the veg are over cooked) as you can consume are complimented by a range of sauces/gravy. The beer has always been fine, though a very limited range of ales. The only problem with this place is it can get busy. I�ve been there twice now and ended up not eating (once was at 13:00 and the other at 20:00) because the queue was too long. Apparently pension day should be avoided at all costs as lots of slow people can be frustrating. Hidden away just yards from the A421, this place is well worth a visit if you're passing through.

The Moon Under Water, Milton Keynes

A typical Wetherspoon pub with the typical Wetherspoon prices attracting the typical Wetherspoon crowd. I haven't tried to food yet (though it can't be any worse than the kebab van outside) and do intend to try it some time. I tried several beers and my nightcap - JD & Coke (or just JD). All were served well and quick enough. My rating is based on drink only and is based on quality and price. I haven't tried this venue on it's most popular nights.
