Had a quick pint of keg something on Friday evening before visiting a nearby restaurant (Spiced Roots which was superb). The only cask beer that I spotted was Proper Job but I wasn't sure this would be the place to find well-kept ale (but I'll never know). Not really my kind of pub but seemed decent enough.

Gets a bad rap because it's student infested at peak times - and these are the kinds of students who attended Radley and Stow to boot - but it's not too bad in an 'if you are an avid fan of Cold Feet' sort of way - so, tasteful with a couple of decent but predictable beers on tap - Brakspear's and London Pride on this occasion and the food - I once tried a pie - more than passes muster in a city where pub food generally outstrips that on offer at restaurants.

Proper relaxed pub with comfy sofas, very agreeable food, decent cider, friendly staff. We like.

Good location between town and Cowley / Headington, but don't go out of your way. The Star around the corner is better.

Mitchell and Butler venue that has had the M&B retro/gastro makeover, like many of their venues that were formerly run as 'Scream' joints. As such, you know what you will get - a decent range of lager, creditable range of real ale, and a pretty agreeable ambiance. I'm fairly partial to this line of pubs; they are certainly a vast improvement over the 'Scream' atrocities.
