I got this for my wife as a birthday present, as she'd always wanted to have a go. Viv was wonderful, giving just the right level of help, without taking over. A really wonderful experience

Went with a large group of friends and we had a superb evening. Simon and Sue were very welcoming. They clearly know real ales and brewing - and how to run a brewery taproom. A real gem - half a dozen well-kept ales from Oxfordshire's best micro and craft brewers. A cosy taproom in a typical brewery industrial-chic style - these folks really know what they are about and this is quickly becoming a favourite.

Other reviewers have got it right; this is a great little museum, and incredible value for money. Staffed by volunteers who obviously love their task, is a museum that will appeal hugely to a certain type of person. It takes us back o the days when buses were more full of character than they are today, and when each city or large town had its own bus company. It is a nostalgic journey amongst old friends (for those of a certain age). The buses have obviously had many hours of loving attention lavished on them, as they appear to be in as-new condition. If you choose your day right (1st and 3rd Sundays and some school holidays) you might get a ride on one of them. We did, and it wasn't just a little potter down the yard, but a half-hour journey round Oxford airport! All included in the £5 a head price! The Morris Motors Museum is also well worth seeing. I couldn't believe that one 1960s car had not been restored, so pristine is its condition. You also gain an understanding of the great man, William Morris - Lord Nuffield

I came across their website by chance when hunting online for an Xmas present. Searched for reviews before spending quite a lot of money with an unknown retailer, and was reassured by the reviews here. The service I received was absolutely excellent with a personal touch, too. Wouldn’t hesitate to use this shop again or recommend it to anyone else - either to visit online or in person.

Me and my family spent a few days in Witney and came across this gastro pub and have to say we had a great meal and exceptional service. Yes, it wasn't cheap but have to admit if you want good food and great service this is the place to go. A special thank you to Ella for a warm and friendly service, thank you x
