    slangAny pub belonging to the Wetherspoons chain.

    We took up the recommendation of the Pheasant in Brill, which is a lovely pub but which sadly only did food until 2 which we'd missed, so went to Spoons in Bicester for a late lunch instead, via a quick inspection of the charming little church in Ludgershall.

    We went to Spoons but it was too busy so went across to The Punch House which I'm glad we did as the food was delicious. I had wild rice, nut and honey bake.
