"Flavour mostly great, but felt short changed. Been before, money wasn’t an issue, ordered food tasted great. Went today on the way back from something, but feel a bit disappointed. Couldn’t choose between the club sarnie, the chorizo and red pepper crostini and the dhal, so opted for all 3. The club sandwich offers maximum flavour, but lacks on substance for me. If I’m paying £13,50 for a club sandwich I want to be remotely full at the end attached is a picture of one of the 2 same sized pieces of chicken not good enough. The basil Mayo is to die for, I will add. The crostini, again, isn’t anywhere near filling enough to warrant the price. You can’t deny the flavour, but one slice of sourdough with a few cooked peppers, some aioli and 3 slithers or chorizo isn’t just cause for charging £14 it’s not on. What’s frustrating is again, the flavour is superb, but it’s here’s just not enough there to warrant the hefty price. Then we get on to the Dhal, which to be frank was an utter disgrace. Sour, watery, lacked seasoning and overall depth. Undercooked root veg on top and just an out and out disappointment, especially when the other 2 dishes we’d ordered weren’t sizeable enough to quell any hunger pains. A decent sized portion, just a shame it was such a poor dish. Also, £6.25 for a milkshake is an utter disgrace and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Perplexed the place is as busy as it is. Staff seem attentive and friendly, can’t quarrel that but the portion sizes are hugely substandard, given the astronomical prices. Won’t be rushing back, which is a shame. Not much around those parts with the ideas and flavour (aside from the watery dhal), but the portions are 50% too small. I will add, my wife and I are slight, modest eaters far from greedy pigs."

"At a recent business lunch at Brasenose, where four of us decided to try the 'one of each and lets share ' approach from the starters on the 1777 menu at lunchtime, mid week. The dishes, true reflections of the diversity of the establishment, made a good impression. The Cantonese Crispy Chicken was a pleasant surprise. Its succulent, crispy exterior paired excellently with the sweet chilli sauce. The combination of sweet and savoury notes was a real winner. For the vegetarians among us, the Triple Cheese and Tarragon Stuffed Mushrooms were a standout. The blend of cheeses and tarragon created an explosion of flavours. Served with a rocket salad and garlic oil, it was a perfect balance of taste and texture. The Beetroot Walnut pate was a revelation in plant based cuisine. The earthy notes of beetroot, the crunch of walnuts and sunflower seeds, and the creaminess pate were a match made in culinary heaven. The apple chutney provided a lovely cutting contrast. The Whitebait with lemon and tabasco mayonnaise was a delightful treat. The crispy coating revealed tender, flavoursome whitebait, and the dip added a zesty kick. We added some sweet potato and regular fries to these to make a varied and lovely mezze. A good selection of non alcoholic drinks, including beer, cider, gin and Nosecco were offered. Service was attentive yet relaxed, striking a perfect balance. The staff at Brasenose ensured our dining experience was enjoyable and hassle free. In summary, our business lunch at Brasenose, was exactly what was needed and good value for money. Each dish showcased the skill of the chefs. I wholeheartedly recommend Brasenose for a business lunch its great food, friendly service, and comfortable atmosphere."

"Stayed here for a few days.. The manager is very friendly and so are the staff.. Regards to the facilities and what you would expect from a hotel, not the best. When I booked it said cooked breakfast was included in the price but when we arrived the manager said it was just a continental breakfast which was just standard.. So we decided to go to Jennys cafe across the road which was lovely.. We returned back from a evening out and found water leaking from the ceiling luckily the water had just missed going into my shopping bags from Bicester which I would of been furious about.. The manager did move us straight away to the room upstairs but said that we wouldn't be able to have a shower as there was no hot water in there and the plumber would be coming to fix it the next day (but I think this was a lie as there was hot water) .. This meant that we had to go back down too our original room and shower in the morning which stank of damp because of the leak the previous night.. We hoped that we would be able to stay in the upstairs room but Manager said we could only stay in there for that one night and had to return back to our old room... They don't provide Toiletries which is unheard of in a Hotel as this should come a standard.. We had to ask the cleaner to change our sheets as we wanted clean ones because we were there for 3nights, the cleaner did change them but was a bit reluctant due to Covid19... The rooms are nice, spacious, traditional decor and the bed was comfortable.. Local to everything so a good location but definitely won't be staying here again"

"I'd been recommended this place by a work colleague last Autumn but hadn't taken the opportunity until now;I am so glad I did. On arrival, the whole place is fairly unassuming. Situated at Manor Farm, just outside Weston On the Green, close to the Heyfords, we were greeted, following a short stroll from the car park, with an A board showing lots of items as sold out. It was almost 1.45pm and they stop serving hot foood at 2.30pm. Our initial concerns were abated after being shown to a sharing table [i.e. sitting with other customers] and given the short but varied food menu. The Milk Shed is definitely a brunch venue and the opening hours match that assumption : 10.30am to 3.30pm. It was bustling, busy and has the added attraction of what looked like homemade ice cream to take away. We ordered from the main menu, which features standard breakfast choices, backed up by dishes such as Grilled chorizo and piquillo pepper crostini and a deep filled cheesy tart, alongside a mega salad plate with herb grilled chicken and a yellow lentil dahl. The children's menu includes scrambled eggs, pasta and that old reliable, beans on toast. We opted for the toasted sourdough smoked streaky bacon sarnie and the Milwaukee rye with avo, halloumi, roast tomato, basil mayo and leaves. Both were generously proportioned and flavoursome. Priced at £8 and £14 respectively, I would say that it was a bit more expensive than we are used to but, on reflection, the quality of the food is clearly evident from the first bite. My wife's sarnie was delicious and you could see the steam rising off he just cooked bacon. As for my open sandwich, it was one of the most delicious brunch dishes I have tasted outside of UE Coffee Roasters, just outside Witney. The star of the plate is the basil mayo : rich, bold and with a vinegary sharpness that complemented the halloumi and super sweet tomatoes, roasted to perfection until their unctuousness caressed the taste buds. This mayo oh my they need to sell it in big jars, somehow !! The golden chunks of halloumi mixed with the creamy smashed avocado worked incredibly well together. Most impressive was the rye bread I don't know whether it is bought in or made on site but it retained both a light and chewy aspect, with a subtle complexity of flavour that perfectly offset the mounds of delicious savoury toppings. In addition we ordered two smoother than you could imagine cappucinos and a shared slice of lemon and poppy seed cake. The latter was light, infused with lemon flavour and rounded off with a smooth, moreish buttercream. Another delightful touch is the free tap water refills that come reassuringly cold. After paying, I popped my head into the kitchen and thanked the chef for the fantastic tasting food. We will be back again within the month. I cannot recommend The Milk Shed enough. Go, as soon as you can!"
