A GK Hungry Horse outlet in a village in the Abingdon surrounds. This is a two-barred affair, with a public bar to the left with tall tables, TVs showing sport (or music channels) and a pool table and dartboard. A larger room to the right is the preserve of the diner. Plenty of meal deals as is to be expected from the chain, however, GK IPA was the sole ale on offer, so I politely declined.

A GK Hungry Horse pub/eatery badly in need of a refurb.Plenty of people use this place, mostly families . Our food was a bit hit or miss. Two real ales on tap, both GK brews.If you can find a place to park access for a wheelchair is ok.The staff are young and helpfull. I wish I could say more in its favour.
