Review from tantallon.org.uk:

I don't know what it was like before the refit, but now from the outside it looks like a garden centre. It's opposite the junction with the road up to Garsington (in this, there is a hint). Now it's immensely plush, lit in red, filled with implausible amounts of baraphernalia (including beer bottles that have been glued down to the surfaces) and is aiming itself at hungry motorists with children. What looks like more-expensive-than-usual pub food turns out to be actually considerable portions. Not unreasonable Varsity available. Judging from the blackboards, they used to retail Graduate, but have pulled back from it. There's the actual radiator of a Bullnose Morris, which was presented to them by the Bullnose Morris Club in 1967 in amongst the fishing nets and tat. One oddity is a table in the shape of a bed. And outside it appears to have been renamed The Famous Bullnose Morris. (30.iii.1999)
