Review from tantallon.org.uk:

Morrells / Whitbread Monday to Saturday 11am to 11pm Sunday 12pm to 10.30pm (2.vi.1998) * Morrells Varsity £1.84 * Morrells Graduate £1.96 (2.vi.1998) This is on the main A415 road from Dorchester to Abingdon (and beyond). It has a children's playground out the back, a deflated bouncy castle, and panoramic views of Didcot power station. Inside it's slightly twee but otherwise presentable. It is an odd hybrid: run by Whitbread Inns but stocking Morrells ales. I think the pint of Varsity I had was the worst yet, and might have gone off, but my nose was out of action from an incipient cold so I couldn't tell. Service very friendly though: pleasant bar staff. Food average pub price, but nothing terribly special. The treacle sponge I had was actually inedible: horribly chewy and flavourless and I only got halfway through. If I were in the area, I think I'd try out the Lion, where the food seems to be cooked on site. Big on world cup football (oh dear). (2.vi.1998)
