The Canfield tavern?
No, that's in clanfield itself. Just had a look and it's the plough at alvescot on the road out of clanfield. Looks like its changed hands since I went there and reviews are not favourable. Nice drive out that way nonetheless and plenty of country pubs available. |

As does Gloucestershire. I can recommend The Royal Oak at Tetbury. One of the bosses of one of the companies I work for bought it and did it out. Very good place and good food now.

Many of us still consider them to be in Berkshire....Fernham, for example, in the lee of the Berkshire Downs. |

Byzantium....if you please. It's interesting how in this time of Great War remembrance, the Mesopotamian campaign 1914-18, is largely forgotten. Most probably because it was largely fought by Indian troops....the devious Hun tried to stir up the locals to jihad, against us, as a balwark in their support for the Ottomans. If Mesopotamia, had remained in the bosom of the British Empire the world would today be a better place... |

Yep. The woodman does a nice burger, but the eagle at little coxwell is even better. |

Mark Lawrenson used to run the Eagle, after he was sacked as Scum manager by Maxwell |

The WWI exhibition at the IWM in London does cover the conflicts away from the Western front, of course it's disproportionally skewed towards the Western front but the role of the Indian troops is prevalent, along with the Anzac etc |
