The Bure Farm, Bicester

I have only rate this 4 because its is desperately in need of redecoration and refurbishment. The landlord who was there 18 month ago said it was going to be done last September but nothing has happened. Its good value for what it is and the staff make an effort to be friendly but its way past time to refurbish.

The Trigger Pond, Bucknell

Myself, my hustand and my son called at the Trigger Pond on a Sunday evening five or six weeks ago. It was after 7 pm and they told us they didnot do food so we had a drink and went to the 7 Starts Twyford (excellent by the way). About two weeks later I took my mother and sister out to visit an elderly aunt at Fewcott House Nursing Home and on the way back 2.50 approx we called at the Trigger Pond for a coffee. I was all locked up. Approx two weeks later we decided to go out for a bite of lunch lovely sunny day etc. Called at the Trigger Pond ordered drinks decided what sandwichs etc we wanted (it clearly states on the bar snacks list that food was served until 7pm)I went in to order only to be told "we don't do food." The girl serving us drinks had been pretty indifferent being more interest in chatting with her friend and a chap slouched by the bar. Its absolutely the last time I will go there whilst the present owners are there and I definitely would not recommend it. It barely passes for a pub what with the selective opening times!
