Watched the football. Two big screens, lots of seating. Was friendly and clean.

Didn't eat, but the staff and pint excellent

Estate pub tucked away in the estate adjacent to the local shopping hub. Recently taken over and given a much needed facelift. Busy at times and is a place for drinkers. Called in and had a pint. Staff were friendly and was able to grab a table. Got the impression it was mostly local people in there after a long day at work.

Excellent Pub, staff are very friendly and polite.

EXCELLENT SERVICE THANKS FOR HOT DOG JAMES WHITFIELD EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE

Website is a link to scammers. Avoid.

Opening times are wrong, its always closed when I go there at lunch

Really friendly local pub. Dog friendly which is great for me. Doesn't serve food but they are happy for you to bring food in and eat there whilst you are drinking which is great. Prices were good too. Definitely going back.

Not the best pub around but certainly much better than it used to be liz ( I think the lady’s name is?) is doing a good job and in time will certainly change the pub around. The food is amazing.

Liz and staff make us very welcome, we enjoy going to the pub again, it’s a nice place for the family. Thank you liz and staff.

Very friendly, reasonable prices. Dog friendly.

Very clean inside and out. Happy place

Liz, the new landlady is doing a brilliant job of making the pub a good, clean, family venue. Drinks are a reasonable price and although there is no food available, there is a bbq van next to the pub and the Chinese opposite. Who knows perhaps in the future we may be able to get a bite to eat. She makes children welcome as well. Being a local, Liz is (in my opinion) the perfect person to turn a once bad news pub into a place the locals can be proud of.

Ethan is doing a great job running the "no frills" pub. No food available (except crisps) but no objection to getting grub from the fish & chip /Chinese opposite and bringing in. Pool and darts available plus TV showing both sport and news. Large car park and bus available running until late to and from Bicester/ Oxford. Try it.

Drinks very cheap.and very sociable

Lovely pub also nice people that goes into this pub this is why I've marked It 5 they make you welcome

Very friendly and good prices and good people

Nice friendly atmosphere . reasonably priced drinks

Bouncing Christmas day. Nice new chairs

Lovely pub, freindly atmosphere and Nikki and Tom who run it are brilliant

Lovely friendly pub, great food too. New Years Eve was superb, live music coming soon, pub on the up since Nikki and Tom arrived.

Brilliant place excellant service with a smile would recommend it to anyone food is great to

Love this pub. The hosts Tom and Nicky are friendly and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble. I feel comfortable taking my 11 year old in for great either food or a drink and a game of pool. Highly recommended for a warm family friendly pub. 😊

Cosy, pool table, darts and really friendly family run public house.

Hadn't been here before until a few weeks ago and have now been 3 times. Great sized pub run by a really nice family who I believe have just taken over. My family and I went for a roast yesterday and it was the best roast I have had in a long time. Service was great, smiling staff and very reasonably priced. Would defiantly go again and highly recommend.

A lovely comfortable evening playing darts over a pint and taking in an exciting European match on the many large TV's. Our friends from Switzerland had a great time and loved the beet. Very pleasant landlords and drinks at reasonable prices. Would recommend and will visit again to sample the food served between thur- sat.

Excellent meal had by all. Lovely family meal with great service. The staff are always welcoming and hospitable. Love the build a burger menu! Photo below is a ciabatta bun, beef burger with Stilton cheese, bacon, sticky BBQ sauce, accompanied by sweet potato fries and home made slaw..

i have lived locally to this pub for a long time and how theyve transformed this not just to look at but atmosphere too is really very very good, many have tried before and failed its now a place im more than happy to sit in the garden on a sunny day with my children in whereas before there would have been no chance whatsoever, we finally have a nice local :-)

We went to the Hundred Acres for an aunt sally practice, Jon & Ali put on a good night with lovely sandwiches & roast potatoes. Thank you both for a good night we look forward to playing you in the league.

We had a great lunch today with the family. Staff and owner very friendly and food excellent. Burgers were lovely. Having previously avoided the pub as it never looked appealing in the past, we will definitely be going back. Thanks.

Went last nigh for a meal with a group of friends. Pub is very clean and the staff most attentive. I had scampi and chips and the rest of our group had lasagne. Plenty of food on the plate and it was really hot. We will definitely go back.

Visited the 100 acres for the valentines special meal night which we did last year. What a fantastic evening we had, the food ,service and atmospere was second to none.The pub was nicely decorated for the theme and the food had some nice touches, love heart potatoes with the main and heart jellies with the pudding.My wife,sister,brother in law and myself had a lovely evening and would highly recommend going there.We have eaten there several times and we always come away more than satisfied.

Just got home after a meal here, there were 4 of us and no other diners at the time. My Daughter who is 9 months pregnant and I both had the lasagne which looked lovely but was actually only Luke warm & certainly wasn't at the food standards core temperature. My Husband ordered a rare rump steak and it was actually well done. Our son in laws meal was fine, when the waitress asked how our Food was I told her about the cold lasagne and over cooked steak but we had no apology or explanation. We certainly won't be visiting here again 😡

The 100 Acres is now the local you always hoped it would be. The new owners have transformed it into a friendly and welcoming well priced restaurant with excellent food. It's reputation is spreading and is well earned. We had Sunday lunch which was a choice of four meats with plenty of fresh tasty vegetables. The pricing was for one, two or three courses which was exceptionally good value. The owner, a local butcher, served very good meat as you would expect. We all enjoyed our meals and we will be back without a doubt.

Enjoyed a quick family lunch and 3 of us had the burgers, they were great quality. I particularly enjoyed the homemade coleslaw on the side. Friendly staff also. I would sum up as good pub grub!

I have never written a review before but felt I should, as we have had such a great time. Today we came to the pub for a family meal in what was previously an undesirable location. We have had a fabulous afternoon. Food was amazing, staff were lovely and the pub has been transformed by its new owners. I'd like to say a massive thank you to all staff who make a lovely family get together great. Keep up the good work we will definitely be returning.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon . It wasn't busy, but it's nice decor and a frindly atmosphere. Sunday lunch was V Good and served with plenty of veg. All in all a pleasant place to go to.

I take my 3yr old Grandson and his little friend here for lunch after swimming every week. There is a child friendly, secure garden and the children's menu is great.They have the chicken with new potatoes and veg, usually broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. The chicken is a whole breast which the boys love. Such a change from the usual kiddies menu of sausages, fish fingers burgers, chicken nuggets and chips!! All of the meals the adults have had have been lovely, the meat is excellent but only to be expected when John used to be a butcher. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the toilets are vey fresh and clean and the wine excellent and much needed after swimming with 2 mischievous boys!!!! Have recommended to lots of my friends.

Oh my God what a burger! Ciabatta, beef, sticky bbq, sweet potato wedges, Monterey jack, and bacon!!! Lush and tidy as we say in Wales!!! Great atmosphere, sat in the restaurant area tonight and it was lovely. Great service, freshly cooked food and a lovely glass of Sauvignon. Perfect!

Foolowing good commets, we went for Sunday lunch at Hundred Acres and were very disappointed. The food had been pre-ordered as we were in a large group and there was no one else eating.

An exceelent very reasonable meal in a clean pub with friendly service! The beer is well kept and the chef is an expert, what more can you ask?

Not been here in years it used to be a really rough estate pub , thought we'd give it go as new owners have taken over and my partner was intrigued by the sin sensitive menu but after ten minutes standing at the bar being ignored and overlooked by the 3 visible bar staff who seemed happier talking to regulars we left hungry and unsatisfied... Even with new owners and a lick of fresh paint it's still an estate pub.. we won't be back

Wonderful meal with my family, food delicious, good choice of meats or vegetarian options available as well, vegetables cooked to perfection as was the roast. Staff friendly and helpful, Pub very clean. would return every week if I could.

My wife daughter and I went there for Lunch my wife and I had fish chips and mushy peas and daughter had lasagna. The service was very good and the food arrived hot and plentiful.The fish batter was very light and the chips fat but not greasy the Lasagna had just been cooked fresh and was delicious .John the landlord is also the chef and produces really good food. During the week he does a over 60s special worth looking at. His Sunday lunch is very good too being a former village butcher for 36years he knows his meats. Well worth a visit.

Having been a few times before this time it was to try the burger menu out - build your own, with a friend who had not been before. Again fantastic meal. Burger was fantastic- great choices given to how to make a burger to your own liking. Cannot fault. My friend who had not been before was equally impressed. Also see that they now do a Syns free meal option - great if you wish to have a meal out and conscious of what you eat.

Without doubt the best burgers in town..the landlord John is a hugely talented professional butcher his meat is second to none..also the best steaks in town.

This is an OK local..certainly vastly improved by the newest landlord. The c Food is basic pubgrub but well cooked and served at reasonable prices. It is very much a locals venue and on the whole a pleasant bunch...as are the staff.

I've always thought of this pub as a bit of a dive, rough even. We had family staying and wanted a nice Sunday roast - they asked if we had a Toby carvery local to us. As we had heard good reviews lately, since the new owner took over last year, and know how good the butcher's shop the owner ran previously had been, we decided to try it. The food was fantastic and even the fussiest in our group said it was one of, if not THE best roast ever. Top marks for food and service; the meat was just perfect and lots of it. Definitely not mass produced like some chain restaurants. After our meal, the owner, John, came over in person to talk to us and ask how our meal had been. We will definitely go back, and soon.

"Wadda Pub!" Just returned from the most fantastic of 'pub experiences' . The beer was EXCELLENT!. ' Lancaster Bomber', I chose that over 'Doom Bar', not a bad brew---But The Lancaster was Brilliant! Had trouble stopping at three! The food was even better!! My wife's lasagne was home made--- absolutely delicious. My steak burger was SENSATIONAL. By far The best burger in Bicester---Not far off the best I tasted in Britain. This is probably the best kept secret in Bicester. You might want to 'check it out' for yourself before it gets too crowded!

I came in for some dinner last week with a fried of mine. I ate the chilli burger which I loved. I don't go in the pub often and didn't even know they served food until I was there. Leo behind the bar was very friendly, as were the waiting staff! I'll certainly be coming back for another burger!

Four of us popped into the The Hundred Acres for what turned out to be more than decent burgers and a cracking pint....felt the new landlord deserved a nice mention on Tripadvisor and we agreed to praise the management on how immaculately clean everything was........then reading the reviews a unhappy lady wrote the pub was dirty....!!!!!!!

only real reason been here is to have quick snack and drink. all compressed food. also fast food, wont go back

Cannot believe the amazing transformation the new owner, John, has made with this pub! It is a zillion % improved in every way... it's clean, the staff are lovely and the food is just fabulous!

Came here for my wifes birthday we had chilli nachos to share to start which were excellent. I had sirloin for main which was very tender and nice chips good selection of kids meals also a nice pint of doombar will definitely be going again.

My self and my wife have had a meal hear twice. Both times it has been consistently fresh vegetables and the meat and fish fresh. Nice friendly staff would highly recommend.

I live close by and visited today with friends (first time I've been inside for about 20 years) the interior is delightful no more spit and sawdust! Claire was our lovely waitress, the food was excellent, Diamond Dining is a great idea and we will definitely go again.

Lovely pub with great steak and the service was fantastic, even had the chef come out to ask how the food was which I found very warming.

Went for Sunday lunch with friends who live locally. I would say prices are really good, you get the portion you pay for. Hot food, cooked well, served with a smile. For me though I would rather pay a little more and have a larger portion, two roast potatoes, two slices of meat and two tiny tiny parsnips, veg and gravy separately too. For the price which was something like £10.50 for two courses then it is value for money. The puddings, assuming home made stole the show for me! Really good sticky toffee pudding good chocolate tart, banoffee pie...you know they are good when everyone around the table shares each other's!

I went here with my friends for a few late afternoon drinks when the Grand National was on, it was really nice.

We visited for Sunday Lunch and was not disappointed. The food was delicious, with plenty on the plate along with fresh vegetables that we're cooked to perfection.

I live very near to this pub but never go in there as I believe it was a drinkers pub without a family atmosphere. After reading various good reviews we decided to give it a go. I'm glad we did! Bar staff were very welcoming, the food seemed freshly prepared and the service was great. We will be visiting again!

Service and food was excellent, the chef went above and beyond for us. I would highly recommend this place! Very reasonably price too!

Finally, we have a great local with friendly staff, very good service and delicious home cooked food. Ate there last night and enjoyed the best burger and chips I've had in a pub, all home made as was the lovely coleslaw and side salad. Looking forward to returning soon!

Visited pub to try the food, we had heard good reports. Very enjoyable meal and good service, very good value for money. Hundred Acres is a hundred times better since John has taken over

Wow! We were really impressed with our Sunday dinner at Hundred Acres. We have lived almost opposite the pub for 12 years and never ventured in. Recently we had heard from friends that the pub was under new ownership and worth going in for food, so with a voucher that had come through our door we decided to give it a try. First expressions of the inside were much better than we had expected - clean, presentable and welcoming. We didn't feel an outsider and felt comfortable being there with two children. Sunday roast menu was excellent - options to have 1, 2, or 3 courses and prices were very good. There was a choice from 4 meats and a wide choice of puddings. We all had a roast, 2 of us having lamb, one of us had beef and one had chicken. Roast was excellent - tasty, potatoes were yummy, good selection and plenty of vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and extra gravy. Just could not fault. Excellent that they offer a children's roast too as both of our children like this option. Puddings were all lovely - highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding with custard. Good portion sizes all round. Service was also good. Have booked to come again as was so impressed. Hopefully this will be one of many visits to this pub now we know it is like this and brilliant it is on our door step too. Thank you.

I have been with my family for dinner and my mother several times now. This pub has been taken on and transformed.it smelt so clean when I walked in. The bar stocked a range of ales and had a beautiful lay out.the staff are always so friendly and helpful you are a guest and never rushed! The chef never fails to make an appearance to check on your meal which is lovely in this day and age. The portions are very large and everything on your plate has as much love and attention as each other. The gammon steak is the best in Bicester! No "chewy bits" and the lasagne was packed full of indgredients the food is freshly made and simply delicious. I can't voice my delight enough at how lovely this pub has become looking forward to the summer for the outdoor grill and maybe pig roasts?!

Met up with some friends for food and a catch up. First time here. Food was great and staff lovely. Couldn't choose from all the puddings on offer though.

Me and my family went for a meal and it was brilliant because the chef cooked the food to how we all wanted it to be cooked and the streak is just amazing and everything good to how you want it and its all fresh none of that brought stuff.

Poor food over priced, never will return. Had food there the meat was dry and tough. The veg was over cooked. The manager was rude when we complained.

Popped into this pub in a residential area of Bicester (on the opposite side of town to the shopping village). We were looking for somewhere to eat & didn't even consider this place from the look of the outside but inside is clean & bright and the food Being served looked ok so we gave it a try. Wow, glad we did. The burger was yummy & the landlord/chef? came over for a quick chat so we felt v.welcome & found he makes his own burgers & all the dishes fresh - v.impressed & we'll be coming in here next time we come shopping.

Having lived near the pub for over 10 years we hardly ever used the place as sadly no one ever made a go of it until John came along he has totally turned it around. The decor is lovely, nice and clean throughout and a nice welcoming feel to it.

So pleased that John has taken over this pub. His food was truly yummy and the service very warm and friendly. The pub has a nice feel to it and is clean, warm and cosy.

We decided to try this pub as we had seen and heard alot of good reports since new landlord has come in. The pub itself has been decorated to a high standard.

Superb lamb with roast potatoes, veg, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. The roast chicken was excellent, too. This place has really gone up in the world and is a delight as a local pub. It's run by the chap who used to have the butchers shop in Launton village (and his wife) so we sort of expected the food to be good quality. And it was. There is a car park just behind the pub, so even if you have to drive, it's easy to park. Well worth a visit for the food.

We had a fantastic meal, fresh vegetables, succulent lamb, homemade gravy. Not a scrap left on our plates. Amazing desserts too. Thoroughly recommend this place.

Had another great meal last night, Food is Fantastic great atmosphere and frendly staff never thought we Could have such à great pub. Jeep up the food work.

I took my family to the Hundred Acres today for lunch as it was recommended by a friend. I was pleasantly surprised by a great choice on the menu. Between us we had steak, hunters chicken, scampi and a burger for the adults. Childrens meals are also offered which was perfect. The steak was particularly excellent and cooked perfectly. We were served by a charming young man who was very helpful and efficient. I will definitely be visiting again soon.

If you want a good steak at a reasonable price this is the place. Waitress was very friendly. Would be good for a family meal.

Had a lovely meal here with our daughter (over 18). Like how the pub has changed, very welcoming! Impressed with the venue, food, service and price.

We herd that there was new management in the pub so thought we would try it for a meal and was really surprised the pub was clean and had a really fresh look about it. The meal which we had was really nice,we could not find any thing wrong with it except it had no stowford press cider on tap but we could say that the meal compensated for that

My husband and I popped in here for a drink as we knew it had been taken over by new management and wanted to check it out.

I decided to write this review last week and aimed to have a balanced view, but I really can't think of any negatives other than its a 20 minute walk from where I live.

This pub is under new management. So we thought we would give it a try. The pub is clean. Couldn't fault the food. Fresh & hot. Staff were very helpful & friendly. Would recommend. Definitely go back again.

Great little pub, great fresh food at a great prices.
