"The Tesla map program found this pub because it was near our route and well rated. We were only looking for a quick bite to carry us through our journey. We both had BLT’s so afraid our experience is admittedly limited but we both loved our sandwiches, fresh, home made sourdough bread, crisp bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato. Service was prompt and very attentive! Next time we will plan the journey so we have more time!"

"We visited this pub specifically for its location and connections to the television show Midsomer Murders. It is a charming pub in a fantastic location. The young staff who served us were delightful. Two members of our group enjoyed a delicious roast chicken lunch. However, my wife ordered what was listed on the menu as a Vegetarian Tartlet. What was brought to our table was a large Yorkshire pudding, a parsnip, and a couple of roast potatoes. Believing there may have been a mistake and the tartlet was hidden beneath the Yorkshire pudding, we lifted it to find six small, dried-up button mushrooms. We called over the manager to ask about the missing tartlet, and after consulting with the kitchen, he rather bluntly informed us that was the vegetarian option. We asked for it to be removed from the bill. My roast lamb was served lukewarm and the side vegetables were sparse and also lukewarm. The cauliflower cheese was hot but not enough for four people. While we felt the food was reasonably priced, the Vegetarian Tartlet was a disappointment. It seemed more like something DCI Barnaby should investigate under the trades descriptions act, as it was definitely not what was advertised."

"We have been visiting The Chequers at Burcot for years, it used to be ok but recently the prices have increased and the quality of the food and the service has dropped. I took my mum for a NYE dinner and her £36 fillet steak arrived like charcoal, mine was less burnt but not right. The fries were greasy and cold and the mac cheese looked worse than store bought. Upon pointing out the charcoal steak to the waiter, he told my mum to try it, she might like it and proceeded to walk off in a huff. When he returned to the table with condiments, my mother informed him that a he didn’t like it. He was then even more obstinate, saying “this steak is cooked by Steve Sanderson, the owner and that is cooked correctly, plus you wanted it cooked well done”. At this point I informed him she would not be eating it and it needs to be changed, he ripped it from the table and stormed off. Following this service, we decided that we would not be continuing the meal, I spoke to another server/FOH and told her we would be paying for the drinks but nothing else. I realise that she was trying to apologise, but there was no amount of touching my shoulder that would make me change my mind. And felt like an invasion of my space. So we paid for the drinks and walked out. On the way out, another server joyfully said ‘I doubt I will be seeing you again, maybe on the street’ Thanks to Steve Sanderson and the team for ruining our NYE."

"I have had a few take away meals from The Vine Spice and enjoyed them, so my wife and I treated friends to a meal at the restaurant there. Sadly and surprisingly I was extremely disappointed. One of our friend 's found that the chicken in their meal was undercooked (it was still pale pink and highlighted this to staff. It was taken away and a replacement given. The chicken in this was cooked fine, but the sauce was now much more watery and lacked flavour due to this (the other had a nice, thick creamy sauce . My wife and I are both vegan and member of staff taking our order didn 't seem too sure what this meant. During our meal, we had 3 different members of staff coming up asking us the same questions rather than one member of staff being given responsibility for this role. All the staff were very polite, but it was a little disconcerting to be trying to have a conversation only for another member of staff interrupt to ask a question asked a few minutes previously (e.g. whether everything was alright, whether we required any more drink etc. Our vegan curries had several hard pieces of veg (we don 't overcook our veg and enjoy a slight bite to them, but numerous bits of veg were virtually raw and must 've been chucked into the sauce moments before dishing up and my wife found some onion with the root still attached. Also, I did find the meal to be expensive for what you get. Given this experience, I won 't be getting any more meals from The Vine Spice ."

"I stopped by for a quick drink at this restaurant and was impressed by its beautiful exterior, fitting in perfectly with the sleepy historic village it is located in. The service from the young lady behind the bar was friendly. However, once inside, I was disappointed by the overly modern decor, with a poor attempt at a period look including 'distressed' wooden tables and chairs. The cask ale selection was half-hearted, and there was loud music coming from behind the bar. It's unfortunate that the modern makeover and management did not do justice to what could have been a lovely old pub. Disappointing experience overall."
