Multi-level pub with TV screens in the bar and front room and a quiet snug at the back. There is a small patio garden and smoking area to the rear and some pavement tables at the front. The interior of this quirky pub still bears the scars of its days as a Morrell’s Ale House, (and for a short while renamed the Old Ale House at the turn of the century) with a variety of finishes and artefacts and pictures on the walls. Very handy as a before and after-match venue for Oxford University Rugby Union FC, whose ground is opposite, and also for the athletics track, made famous by Sir Roger Bannister. Usually has an interesting choice of real ales.
