There is a vague chance I might be able to make a meet ---finally,
I have my nipper that weekend , lets see if she likes Skodas too !!!!!

Rich00p · 17-09-2008, 12:13

Not sure if you lot know this, but apparently the Fox has been closed?

sinister sheep · 17-09-2008, 12:26

sms has heard this but is hoping new management will be in place and open by then (the place seems to be cursed). Otherwise it be the apple cart at the milton interchange which is about a mile away unless others have a preference for somewhere else?

Rich00p · 17-09-2008, 12:36

well if you will try to serve ala carte food in a rural pub, I'm not sure what they were expecting.

bring back the days of the Janet Special!

Xleon · 17-09-2008, 16:52

Isn't the pub next door still open?
Is it the George or George & Dragon or something similar?

they lost it a few months ago with some of the crap they came in with, the chef thought he knew what he was doing and the trade went down like a lead balloon (one of the reasons for the last one being canceled and trying to find another venue).

The few meets we did have there before the menu change was excellent, with great food including my egg, gammon and chips that i love eating in there. but yes this odd menu that came in a few months ago imho killed it.

Looking at the fox website it should now have been taken over by a new licencee type bod so i will take a trip past at the weekend.

The pub next door btw is called the cherry.

smstext · 21-09-2008, 22:19

Update we have changed the venue to Wootton a few miles away as there doesnt seem to be much news on when the fox will re open.

The details for the new location is:

Already checked out by myself and sinister tonight, huge 70 space car park and loads of room inside and out along with a playground for any kids. I have updated the first post to reflect these changes.

bunglebear32 · 22-09-2008, 17:17

i used to work there. Cant beat the good old hungry horse eh? they had it refurbished about a month or two ago, its not too bad inside now. If you're doing here then i might well come, just down the road from me

smstext · 22-09-2008, 22:47

we certainly are, we havent had a good oxon meet in months and the venue seems good enough for us with a huge car park and plenty of space inside and out too.

Sunday nights are bad for me Im afraid. No chance of getting a baby sitter.

Will keep an eye out for future ones.

Thanks,

Lee

smstext · 30-09-2008, 12:01

no probs, its a family friendly pub (one of the first things it thought of) if it helps. i have tried a saturday meet before now and that went down like the titanic and many people are not interested in friday meets as they knackered.
