Review from tantallon.org.uk:

Free House Closed Monday to Thursday at lunchtimes. Theakston's XB £1.80 Fullers London Pride £1.90 Hint: there is no straightforward route from Otmoor to Merton other than the main road from Islip or Charlton-on-Otmoor. You'll find the service here very friendly, and the pub at a weekendlunchtime is full of good-natured locals who all know one another (small village, you see). Resilient carpet, pleasant conservatory with serving hatch, and I'm told that the scampi is well done. After a morning of wandering round Otmoor and getting here the wrong way from Murcott, the food was very welcome. Basket meals without vegetables (salad is extra at £1.50, as are extra and nonetheless sizeable portions of chips), come in between £3 and £4, and other main courses are just over a fiver a shot. Beer probably well-kept, but I was sufficiently thirsty not to mind particularly if it hadn't been. (1998-01-31)
