| I'm surprised nobody has ever reviewd or even rated this pub. But then, unless you knew where it was located, you would never find it. Tucked away discretely on a dead end road leading to the River Thames, this pub is a rural gem and is fairly unspoiled by progress. The complimentary prawn crackers, twiglets and Doritos were the only clues as to what century we were in. Soft Irish music was playing, presumably the music of choice for the Irish landlord. But conversation is king here and the landlord plus locals showed keen interest in who we were, where we were from and why we were there (phew that's a lot of w's for one sentence!). Beers on were White Horse Village Idiot & Volund's Hammer, Three Castles Hay Bale, Marstons Pedigree and Loose Cannon Abingdon Bridge. The landlord claimed he'd had a rush on real cider and he'd run out. But this didn't look like a place where a rush would occur. This pub was the best of the day for me, due to the beer range, the warm welcome, its location and also due to its traditional interior. Definitely one to seek out. blue_scrumpy - 26 Oct 2010 21:08 |
