TODAY we bring you the results of an unusual taste test.

It’s not at Raymond Blanc’s two-Michelin-starred Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, or even a George Street chain restaurant.

We have sampled the menu at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

Last month we ran a story, which – let’s face it – was pretty damning on hospital food.

The Oxford Mail felt the only real way of gauging the state of meals was to test it ourselves.

Results were mixed, but generally people seem to stomach the grub.

The big question is should we expect high-standard food?

Or just be grateful for a free feed as part of the NHS service?
