| Decent pub with a lovely view across the quiet road out onto the river Thames and Abingdon bridge. Unfortunately there is no beer garden by the river (just a small yard taken up by the smokers !), but this pub is in a lovely peaceful location next to St.Helens church. Inside is a fairly traditional interior with plenty of comfortable seating. There were four real ales available when I visited, Batemans XXXB and Everards Tiger as guests and Morland Original and GK IPA as regulars. The IPA and Carlsberg are both available for £1.99 a pint as part of a 'credit crunch' promotion. I noticed the pub closes during the afternoons (apart from saturday) and does not open until 6pm on a monday. Seems as though food is served most lunchtimes and evenings. They have a quiz evening every thursday and occasional live music. This is a decent pub to relax in and have a conversation away from the boisterousness of many of Abingdon's other town centre pubs.

| Excellent pub in an interesting town. Good food and ale. What a pity you can't tie your boat up outside. PWJT8D - 18 Feb 2009 07:49 |
| Nice pub in a great loaction, but a shame you can't sit ouside the front to fully enjoy the river view. The Morland ale was bland on the day we visited, but overall it's worth a visit. start - 11 May 2008 08:43 |
| Well served beer. Stock whatever guest beers Green King will allow. Enjoyed Abbot Reserve. greenius - 23 Dec 2007 19:48 |
| Well Abingdon has changed since I lived there. Doubt whether the loss of the brewery has improved things (in fact GW seem to have cast their brand image spell on many of their acquisitions). T'was a wonderful place twenty years ago. Now just another bland boozer. What a shame. baggydave - 11 Sep 2006 17:38 |
