See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

A lovely old pub with a fine garden affording great views across Otmoor. The arms in question are of James Bertie (1653 -1699) who was created 1st Earl of Abingdon in 1682. The Bertie family owned the village until 1919 when it was broken up and sold off in lots. The pub itself has a small bar area, with old photographs of the pub on display, and dominated by a log fire in the big fireplace. There is a separate restaurant room. The previously infrequent bus service is now non-existent but this is good walking and cycling country. The pub was put up for sale summer 2016, bought by a local community group after a community share offer, and reopened June 2017. As well as regularly changing real ales has quality lagers, some locally sourced. Bar snacks and deli options available when kitchen closed, Sunday lunch. Opening times are for spring months.
