| Seems to have recently changed hands - was completely dead and smelt rather weird - staff were warm but you sense the place has gone down market a tad but lets see as it was a good place to eat. parmantom - 26 Apr 2012 10:26 |
| Great location on the canal with no through traffic etc. Can be tricky to park, pub is old and the bar is proper enough, friendly staff overall food is good with a decently experimental specials board. Chef is totally anti using pickle on his ploughmans tho which is a good spread but deperately lacking this key ingredient. Might say something about the chef when he believes pickle is too low brow for his 'ploughmans' - my advice is take your own and leave the jar so he is overrun with the stuff as a subtle campaign... beer is good but its heavy brewery owned fare even the seemingly 'guest' ales are usually just other brewery brands so whilst well kept it all tastes the same parmantom - 21 Jan 2011 11:55 |

| This is a friendly welcoming pub with well kept beer. The main bar could do with brightening up, very bland, and poorly laid out. Food can be hit and miss, had one great m eal there while the next was truly awful. The staff were very apologetic but , as they were well aware that they had sent out burnt food, I had lttle time for the excuses. Good pint though! steamraiser2 - 10 Jul 2010 21:55 |
| A pleasant enough pub right by the Oxford Canal. Limited menu. The pub was up for sale when we visited so I suspect there was something of a lack of interest. PWJT8D - 18 Feb 2009 07:31 |
