We must admit, this review didn't come with quite the usual amount of anticipation or excitement. The Evenlode, a large pub on the A34 between Witney and Eynsham, has had mixed reviews, to say the least.

We have been eating in the Three Horseshoes since we moved to Witney a few years ago and have never had a bad meal, along with the rest of the community we were really sad to hear of the … [Read more...]
