Review from tantallon.org.uk:
Free House, tied to Morland * Old Speckled Hen £2.00 * Morland Original £1.75 * Strongbow cider £2.00 * Fruit juice 85p * Filled jacket potato £3.00 * Sausage, egg and chips £3.50 * Jam roly-poly £1.75 * Cherry pancake with ice-cream £2.00 (14.vi.1998) It currently looks semi-demolished and is being refurbished into "The Snooty Fox". Aargh. (1.vii.2000) Owen Massey writes: This is an acceptable pub on the north side of the A420 a little east of Faringdon. Every surface seems to be covered in wallpaper, except for the walls, which are Artexed. There is a snooker table, and the occasional roar of aeroplanes from Brize Norton. The restaurant section seems to be a new venture to profit from passing traffic. It's a small side room which only fits four tables, entered through saloon-bar doors. To fit the name of the pub, there are dozens of fox-hunting paintings on the walls, along with a surely fake photograph of a fox serenely riding a huntsman's horse. The range of food is more caff than restaurant: I enjoyed the large helping of sausage, egg and chips, which looked like a heart attack on a plate but was in fact pleasantly non-greasy. The dessert menu eschews the usual chocolate overdose for school puddings like apple pie, strawberry gateau and jam roly-poly, the last of which was thick and deadly as it should be. The service was commendably quick, especially considering it was a Sunday lunchtime. Apparently the ladies' facilities are clean. (14.vi.1998)
