The Railway Inn, Culham

Avoid.

Avoid, unless you want to feel as though you're a cowboy, striding into a saloon bar to be confronted by a sea of suspicious eyes and the ominous sound of a guitar string being twanged.

Avoid, unless you want to feel as though you're in The League of Gentlemen: a local pub, for local people.

Avoid, unless you prefer your pint accompanied by a scowl and a huff, and the unsettling feeling that your custom is not welcomed here.

Avoid, and walk ten minutes up the road instead to Clifton Hampden, where the Railway Inn will offer you food, drink, comfort and - most importantly, a smile.
