Original a Whitbread pub called the Testwood Hotel, it was acquired by Greene King, who built a conservatory along the front, and converted the inside to a spacious single bar. There is a plain but generous rear garden which would be pleasant in the summer. It's a popular place for local people, mostly for low cost everyday Greene King pub food. Quite a low key relaxed atmosphere. Three regular Greene King cask ales, plus a cask cider. Service was slow and indifferent, but in all an acceptable place if you live local.

Scampi and chips. Plain and simple. Edible rather than tasty |
Lyn had the Hunters Chicken which comes with something they call salad |
Greene King IPA in an Abbot Ale glass |
Coca Cola with ice and a slice |
In the good old days - The Testwood when it was a 1930s roadside pub owned by Whitbread |

A decent sized modern Greene King pub. Family friendly and doing food all day. Larger range of beers. Nothing special, but decent enough. A better pub all round than the Saxon.
