| It's some years since I last visited this pub and it's nice to see that it hasn't suffered the destructive makeover that Youngs/Wells have seen fit to inflict on so many of their pubs. It retains the multi-room layout I recall from my previous visit. However it is in desperate need of some TLC - the carpet is filthy and torn in places and a large chunk of wall was missing near where I sat. There are six handpumps, dispensing Youngs Bitter, Special, Winter Warmer, London Gold, Tribute and Bath Gem. I had a well-kept pint of Winter Warmer. A good pub, but it's time to give it a spruce. holbornboy - 18 Dec 2009 13:02 |
| Huge, multi roomed pub but very busy so a good atmosphere despite of the size. Youngs beers plus Tribute and the guest was Bath Ales Gem which ain't great when you come up from Bristol for the day. Still , it was served in perfect condition. The service was faultless, friendly and helpful. Dandillus - 29 Nov 2009 19:31 |
| Bit dissapointed with this one , a sort of multi roomed barn of a place lacking any sort of attmosphere , may have just been an off day , Decent beer range and efficint service . As previously stated some intresting overheard conversations . trenchlad - 15 Oct 2009 15:48 |
| An interesting pub in Young's empire. There seemed to be at least three distinctive areas for drinking of various architectural vintages. The Young's bitter was good and overheard conversation intriguing!! JBGatelad - 6 Sep 2009 18:46 |
| Excellent trad pub right in the historic heart of Oxford. Still has little nooks and corners where vague old Dons can sit on creaky seats that are older than them, and sup a decent pint for a peaceful hour. Get's incredibly busy though, but is a very efficient pub, in terms of layout and food ordering. Food is normally above average, but can be variable. Prices are generally good value. Bar staff are helpful, friendly and efficient. The boss (well I assume it is he) is a good bloke and runs a tight ship. Highly recommended. griffo59 - 7 Aug 2009 18:47 |
