| Warm welcome from the barman on entering. Great pint of Wadworth’s Swordfish beer served at a perfect temperature. Very acceptable lunch of Wiltshire ham eggs & chips and beef pie in a 6X gravy with efficient and friendly service at a value-for-money price. (Why do so many places serve hugely bouffant pastry lids that fly all over the place, rather than short-crust pasty which is so much easier to eat?) Nice and quiet; pleasant murmur of chat. Toasty log-burner. Clean toilets. Splendid view across the river Cherwell (“char-well”) to the water meadows beyond. On the terrace, the fictional Inspector Morse shared a drink with Lewis in The Remorseful Day episode as the sun set. Mona_Growser - 16 Jan 2011 16:51 |
| A lovely pub, with wonderful views down to the river. It's my local, and I generally find the staff friendly and efficient. It's a good old fashioned pub where you can have a good chat and toss the odd crisp to the passing ducks, who seem to like them! kennewam - 20 Jul 2009 20:44 |
| Good atmosphere (no music, hooray), with a fine range of Wadsworths beer, not just the usual 6X. Food OK, but pricey for what it is -- I suppose given the superb location, they don't have to try very hard, so they don't. cato - 28 Sep 2008 17:04 |
| Overpriced and quite average beer but it's in such a fantastic spot that you can't beat it on a summers day. stuster - 4 Sep 2008 11:54 |
| Fantastic riverside pub - certainly the best location in the Oxford area. It really feels like you're in the middle of the countryside rather than in a suburb of Oxford. There is a terrace overlooking the river with lots of seats and a gazebo, then there's a large area of grass before the river itself. There are some seats on this and it's a great area for children to play. In the summer punts frequently pass and sometimes tie up, all adding to the atmosphere. Beer is good and there's a large car park. discerningdan - 10 Jun 2008 20:37 |
