This is a nice pub, tucked away to the north of the town centre, but easily walkable from the Oxford Road. A friendly welcome awaits all, and there is some freedom of beer choice with a local ale always on. The tenants have built up a good reputation for food, the speciality is exotic meats cooked on hotrocks, and some of the pub is laid out as a dining area, but drinkers are very much catered for. There is a small back garden with a covered area, and an aunt sally throw.
