Pobi Bakery in West Oxfordshire

Amazing fresh food, fast service. Highly reccomend.

An unpretentious old-fashioned pub; a rarity in Oxfordshire now. The cask Hooky is always of superior quality here and a good price

Myself and my partner decided last minute to have a date night on the 12/12/2024. We live in Churchill so very local to Chadlington, we thought we'd give the Tite Inn a go as we've only visited for drinks in the past. On entry we felt as though we were walking into somewhere that we weren't welcome, the room went silent, all eyes cast on us as if we were the King. As we awkwardly walked towards the bar we were also given the evils by the barman as a whole bar full of dogs barked at us. At this point we though "you know what, this is just what people in the rural Cotswold's are like" and we cracked on. What a mistake that turned out to be! We were bought to our table by the barman (very intense, eyed me up and down like I was a piece of meat, had eyes and a demeanor that screamed cocaine) After a 20 minute wait our server then appeared to take our drinks order. We asked "What lager do you have on tap" the waitress stuttered, looked as though she was about to have a breakdown and quickly ran to the bar. On her return she started recounting ales from the notepad which was her hand. I instantly felt incredibly embarrassed for the server as she obviously didn't know the difference between ale and lager. In order to avoid an upset we just asked for "any lager". The server was clearly new, but why wasn't she trained before dealing with customers alone? We were greeted with two Kati Patang's (Beautiful taste but not a single bubble within) As we were left to decide what to eat we started having a look around the small room we had been sat in. I can only label the atmosphere as incredibly intense. We could hear arguing, singing, and gossip from the kitchen. Notice boards has been placed right above peoples tables, so when we wanted to get the Wi-Fi password the lady sat beside us thought we were greatly invading on her privacy and in turn proceeded to stare through our souls for what felt like 10 minutes. We ordered a sharing Camembert to start, with a bowl of patatas bravas. Mains were the Fish & Chips and the Beef Burger. After about a 30 minute wait we received our patatas bravas. The only way to describe the feelings that followed was outrage, and shock. I used to frequent Spain, Patatas Bravas is my favorite dish. What we were presented with was under cooked oven baked potatoes covered in a painfully spicy marinara sauce at the price of £7. While me and my partner were discussing the spice level over the tears streaming from our eyes, the barman shouts across the restaurant "Of course its hot its just come out of the oven!" At this point he decided to walk over to our table and tell us "My boyfriends dropped your camembert on the floor, it'll be 5 minutes." Following an incredibly loud argument and a 20 minute wait from the kitchen we were presented with our £25 Camembert, with two slices of bread cut in half, no veg, nothing. To charge £25 for what we received, and the service should be a crime. At this point we didn't even feel as though we could complain, the staff clearly didn't want to be there, and also don't realize that they come off incredibly intense and threatening, particularly the barman. We waited another 30 minutes for our mains, on arrival everything honestly looked amazing, fish batter looked bang on, burger cheesy as anything, we were buzzing after our dodgy starters. Unfortunately it turned out that the fish batter was like cement, it was like eating a rock hard crumbling pastry, the ratio of fish to batter was also probably 10/90. Whoever also thought of the idea of mixing mint sauce with peas alongside battered fish needs to give their head a wobble; disgusting. Unfortunately it seems that I got off lucky! My partner took a single bite of her burger and that was more than enough for her to have to evacuate to the WC! The 'beef' burger was so over cooked that it genuinely tasted like lamb, it even smelt like lamb. What made this situation even worse is that my partner absolutely hates the taste of lamb, and thought she was ordering a beef burger! We then asked the waitress if she knew what meat was in the burger, she disappeared into the kitchen and all we heard was shouting and another massive argument brimming! At this point my partner started to see the funny side of things, were we honestly so shocked, we thought a camera was going to pop out at anytime saying it was some king of sick, twisted social experiment! Luckily, we didn't have the minerals to look the barman in the eyes and complain out of fear! The waitress hesitantly removed the service charge from our bill and we were out of there like our life depended on it! Please don't make the same mistake as we did and avoid eating here at all costs! Lovely beer though, with a top notch garden, if you can get someone that knows what they're doing. You'll also be devastated to hear that even though Clarkson's Farm is a stones throw away, you can't get any of that beautiful Hawkstone! We will certainly not be returning for food anytime soon, it seems as though the management has changed for the worse!
