Visited this up-market country pub at Noon on 07-9-07. Had trouble with my `half a pint of cider in a pint glass with ice cubes please' order. French bar babe had only been there 2 days. Couldn't serve but flirted as well, if not better, than her mother /older sister.

Extensive menu from in house chief. Ploughman's £5.50, Jacket Potatoes £5, omelettes with salads £5. Lots of vegetarian options, but rather too expensive for the likes of a down and out cycle tramp like me.

Large garden and all weather fag area. Present owners of this free house have been here for 2 years. Well thought of by all the locals who recommended it.

Opening times: Noon to 3pm and 6pm to 11:30pm every day of the week, inc. Sunday

Alternatives are The Fox and Hounds in Uffington Village (01367 820680) which opens from 5pm to 11pm Mon to Fri and Noon to 11pm on Sat and Sun.
Or The White Horse in Woolstone (01367 820726) www.whitehorsewoolstone.co.uk

I am a veggie, my friend Darren is a vegan. Hearing the name we thought, must be cool. It looked like a suburban house owned by someone with too much time on their hands. The food was dreadful. The more endangered a species the higher priced it was and darren had to make do with peanuts. Don't go there if you get a choice to go elsewhere. For the adventurous, there is a wild plum tree on the ridgeway just as you turn up to the blowing stone, in season it's fruits are sweet and definitly not endangered. long live tofu Posted by mindweed

Tch --- signed from the road, signed right outside and closed at 5pm on a Sunday evening, when we needed it the most.

Not impressed.
