Rainbow Inn - South Oxfordshire

Nice place lovely location. Unfortunately it was shut so can't give an accurate review. Went because it was in The New Avengers.

This was a great destination for a Saturday lunch mid-way between Christmas and New Year. A husband and wife business, with a good offer of local beer and a wine list. The menu is a list of a few old-school pub meals (think steak and ale pie, chicken and ham pie, about £12 per dish), prepared by the landlady to order. There is parking and it is a good spot for ramblers. It can be a bit draughty inside so in the winter don’t leave your coat in the car in case you need it. Go and see good pubs pre-gastropub.

This pub has a lot of potential and is a throwback to a simpler time. We had a great time enjoying the classic pub food. I had a burger and chips, while my friend had scampi and chips. We both thought the food was delicious and reasonably priced. After a nice walk in the area, we agreed that we would come back in the summer to enjoy sitting outside.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is chaotic, with the landlord making grunts and the constant sound of the microwave, making it hard to relax and enjoy your meal. It's a shame to see such a beautiful building wasted on a poorly run establishment.

The Rainbow offers delicious and authentic home-cooked food along with a selection of great beers. It's a refreshing change and a great example of what a traditional English Country Pub should be like.
