And the low one rating was also handed to The Horse And Groom in Lower Heyford Road, Caulcott, when it was inspected on September 13.
The listed pub, near Bicester, was voted the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) pub of the year for North Oxfordshire in 2010 and was described as a “real gem” by The Good Beer Guide 2011.
Recent customers describe the 16th century coaching inn run by French chef Jerome Prigent as a 'great eating pub' and unpretentious.
Meanwhile it was better news for Jan's Kitchen at Jimbobs Hot Food in Telford Road in Bicester.
Hygiene standards were found to be 'generally satisfactory' at the snack bar and it was rated three star on September 13.
Ratings are a snapshot of the standards of food hygiene found at the time of inspection. It is the responsibility of the business to comply with food hygiene law at all times.
The ratings can be found online and on stickers which are displayed at business premises.
The back of the sticker and the online rating will also show the date of the inspection by the local authority’s food safety officer.
