    • 2007, "Sir Benjamin Nunn", Re: good pubs near brill / verney jct lines? (on newsgroup uk.railway)
      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.
    • 2014, Naomi Rettig, One More Year On Facebook, page 205:
      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.
