Formerly two rooms, the large interior has now been combined, but retains a public bar area on the left with sports TVs, and a lounge area on the right where dining is popular. The pub is conveniently located between the Beaumont Leys bus station and the shopping centre. Opens at 10am for breakfasts. This used to be a regular outlet for Banks's beers, but real ale is no longer sold.

The Champion Beer of Britain is one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It is the ultimate honour for UK brewers and has helped put many into the national spotlight.
Judging for the competition takes around a year, starting with individual nominations from CAMRA members and tasting panel nominations, leading to a series of rigorous regional heats adhering to a strict blind tasting policy.
