Came in early afternoon for a late lunch to a couple of pints and fish & chips (minus the mushy peas, but garden salad substituted) to four hungry Yanks. The chef was new, but the food was plentiful & well served. The fish was fresh, not frozen, fresh battered & fried in clean oil, as were the thick chips. (The rest of the group got the shoestring potatoes, but still good.) The bartender was occasionally occupied breaking in said new chef, but overall- it turned out well. For me, the bartender mistakenly overcharged me, then realized his mistake and backtracked his mistake- bringing me back a twenty pound note -saying "I'd not feel right if someone had done this to me, so I'm certainly not going to do it to you." So add a large helping of distinct honesty to the basic review. Definitely will be back someday, and relax for another couple of pints, watch the game on the large screen telly(s), and order up a fish & chips again. So, sure, recommended highly by a Yank or four. Cheers.

I left a £5 tip when ordering as I like to leave something - no one offered to carry my three drinks back to the table, they actually watched me carry each drink one at a time with my little one on my other hip. 2. The disabled toilet was out of order - I know this happens but this should be a priority for them to repair. 3. We couldn't find a table that wasn't reserved, they could see we had a pushchair and simply said it anywhere not reserved rather than try to help us by saying which tables were free to save us traipsing around ten place with the buggy. 4. Cocktails are 241 but they are £14.50 each! This is was I pay in London for 241! Sadly nothing good to say about this venue - we won't be returning unless it drastically changes.

We stopped in for one more drink before turning in for the night…read more This was suggested by our sever from dinner at the News Cafe. Ox Row Inn is located conveniently in the main central square area, so we also got to see cute bits of the town on our walk there. It was cozy and inviting inside, very "ye olde pub" feeling. The upstairs dining rooms were enchanting looking. We each got a drink and found a table without a reserved sign on it (they had pub trivia starting about an hour and a half after our arrival, but almost all tables were empty but reserved...I am still wrapping my head around the reservation thing at pubs!) and settled in to enjoy our drinks. A cider for my Fella, and a spritzy cocktail for me. Both lovely. We considered staying for trivia, but were just too tired. I started finding myself annoyed at most pubs and restaurants we went to where the mens toilets were on the ground floor, but the womens were up or down a flight of stairs or more. And the womens toilets here are upstairs and well away from the main area. It was so empty upstairs, I almost thought I was in the wrong place, too. We kept getting strange looks from another patron which made us speed up finishing our drinks and leaving. Despite being Americans, we were not being loud or doing anything other than chatting having a drink, but it was really strange and made us a bit uncomfortable. So we downed the rest of our drinks and went back to our hotel. I did like the general feel of this place though and it would likely be a nice place for a meal.

Not only is it convenient in location with a large carpark but it also has a fantastic menu. The menu is tradtionally british with fry ups and mixed grills heading the menu up at a reasonable price. If you want to go on a Sunday you need to be keen as they do roast dinner for a set price and the place is heaving! The staff are lovely, really friendly and it feels like you have walked into your local even if you are visiting for the first time. The lay out is basic, and you pay as you order but it is clean and inviting although if you sit near a window it can be a little cold. The toilets are horrible! They remind me of the outdoor primary school toilets i was subjected to as a child the only difference is that they don't subject you to rough toilet paper!
