Real ale discount scheme

A charming, characterful free house on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors grade Two Star, in a delightful narrow street just north of the city centre. Licensees Andrew and Debbie Hall have been here since 1983 and acquired the freehold from Punch Taverns. Originally farm cottages, the building became a pub in 1865 and comprises two small rooms served by a central bar with a passageway drinking area alongside, leading to a heated, covered, courtyard garden. At the end of the garden is another cottage which is available to rent as a meeting or private dining room. The regular beers are discounted by 20p per pint for card-carrying CAMRA members from Sunday to Thursday. A regular Good Beer Guide entry and a former Oxford Pub of the Year winner, this pub is one not to miss.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

This end-of-terrace pub retains a traditional layout of three small rooms with fittings that are probably forty or more years old. The rear bar has a counter with ply panelling and a servery back fitting with small glass pieces of a style often seen in the 1960s. The front room has an Art Deco-style marble fireplace and is served via a door to the back of the servery. The third room is more of a drinking passageway from the front door to the rear with a hatch for service. The outside gents’ are accessed via the large covered patio at the rear.
