The Fox Inn, Great Barrington

Beautiful location, but this is as far as the positives go. The Oddingtons beer (which I generally love) was off and in a very dirty glass, as was my wifes wine. She had to share the wine with the lipstick marks of the previous drinker. The barman was less than interested as we appeared to be interrupting his conversation with friends. The food was very expensive and very tasteless. The skills involved in undercooking eggs and microwaving what appeared to be (and tasted like) week old food were truly boundless. In addition to this I felt like I needed a bath upon exiting the pub. For anybody thinking of visiting this, what should be a lovely old world country pub I would suggest that they simply don't. I should have complained when I was there, as it was truly awful, but you know what us British are like. We would rarther pent our anger and frustration on a forum.
