Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford

I went into the far from the other afternoon, with my family visiting for the day, it was a great day to choose as the cider festival had started with something like 12 ciders, as well as the 12 bottled ciders always on offer, and a fantastic selection of ales to go with it, we sat down and perused the list, i chose the Gwatkins farmhouse perry, and my guests had a shandy (bit of a cop out) and various ales, the food on offer was as good as it has always been, plenty on the plate and very tasty, i especially like the liver and onions but, i havnt seen that for a little while, again well done to the staff and management team for winning the city pub of the year, again! and heres to another successful year, well done all concerned, staff and regulars alike.

The Chequers Inn, Oxford

i have been going to the chequers for a while now, and i have found the staff to be very helpfull and curteous, i only have to wait to be served when it's busy which isnt a problem, the beer is top notch and always a good selection, maybe things have changed since the last visits of other people here, for me the manager is doing a cracking job, as are his staff.
