we love this place! We are currently in hospital with our baby… We try once a day as a family to get out and have some normality by having dinner Together, one of our nurses suggested we try Here it didn’t disappoint. We walked through your door and were greeted by two young members of staff, young lad and a girl (Sadly, I didn’t get their names) They made a fuss of our little boy constantly interacting with him and trying to make him giggle.
when ordering the girl made incredible recommendations, my dad ordered a pie and couldn’t decide between chips and mash. She straightaway said I wouldn’t want to miss out on our mash. It’s incredible she wasn’t wrong. I’m always incredibly indecisive. I have three things I couldn’t choose between so she help me choose by saying again what I should go for.

The service was great and friendly, all three meals were delivered precisely at...
Read moreProbably one of the best pubs in Oxford. A selection of real ales and a few Scrumpy ciders for drinking, plus a good pub food menu. The homemade pies are great, as are the burgers, which come piled high with fresh toppings. The beer garden it the back is small but pretty, though as there's no other smoking area, it does suffer from second-hand smoke depending on the other patrons.
Inside, it's comfortable in an old school manner, with board games and a good amount of seating. I tend to watch the 6 Nations matches here, as the small side-bar area is extra cosy and normally attracts supporters from all the home nations. Staff are friendly, prices aren't bad and though the coffee is from a machine, it does at a pinch....
