Afternoon Tea @ Holt Hotel in West Oxfordshire

We called on spec, just passing by around noon. The restaurant area was almost empty apart from one lone diner and a table with what seemed to be two staff members chatting earnestly. After ignoring me for some minutes, one arose and asked if I wanted anything - yes, lunch for two (if it wasn't too much trouble) The other suited specimen arose and passed me by without a word. Being charitable, he could have been a contractor. Nevertheless this produced an immediate helpful waiter, with menus. After this shaky start, two excellent lunches were served in a short time. When we left, the bar area was now well patronized. I'd imagine these folks cater primarily for local business people and wedding parties. Certainly recommended, always assuming you can get served in the first place.
