| I was lucky enough to have visited and ate at this pub several times before I doscovered the review by Helen Peacocke. I was delighted with the food, the drinks and the atmosphere. As I only live about 2 miles from it (I'd happened upon it by chance as it's off the beaten track) it is now my preferred eating place. Had I read Helen's review beforehand I might never have visited. Even more astonishing is that despite her poor review this pub appears on Helen's list of favourite locals at http://www.theoxfordtimes.net/whatson/pubs/. Unless there is more than one Helen Peacocke?[Report for Removal] | Nick Grant Stanton Harcourt Oxon |

| When I visited The Red Lion at Northmoor recently I decided that it was not what it used to be. Asking around and chatting with a few locals, it seems that these days the Landlord has become increasingly miserable as the Smoking Ban has drawn ever closer. Amazingly he has recently taken a very strong and predudiced stance against any and all Non-Smokers. As a heavy smoker himself he has now set himself firmly against anyone sensible enough to choose not to smoke. This has gone as far as his putting large SMOKERS ONLY signs on the tables outside the front door of the pub. He refuses to let anyone but smokers sit and enjoy a quiet pint outside the front door. Additionally, the pub does not welcome children ( unles in the dining room)and he does not allow dogs at all, which is a shame as the pub is surrounded by good walks along the river bank, ideal for dogs. The price of a pint is on average 25p more than in Witney town centre pubs, the range of wine is very limited and a poor selection of cheap wines are offered at inflated prices. The food is, at best, average to poor, medeocre to uninteresting, depending on which member of the Landlords family, wife or daughter, is cooking. The Sunday roasts are cheap enough at 6.95 for two courses but, as with everything in life, you only get what you pay for . . . the roast beef I was served was stringy and more like braised beef than roast beef, it reminded me of my old school diners. In my view, the pub should have continued to have been very popular but these days with an increasingly miserable, often rude and I understand a frequently drunk landlord, the place has gone down hill fast since my last visit. The best you can call the Red Lion these days is average. It is such a shame, maybe it is time for the Landlord to think about retiring now, perhaps to Havanna the home of fine tobacco.
