Graham Coombs left this review about The Porterhouse
A backstreet pub which has evolved into an upmarket steakhouse, or as it describes itself "a grill with rooms". The walls have been painted in a dark blue-grey with tan leather banquettes and copper-topped tables. It did however offer a couple of very nice XT beers on pump, plus a few unusual bottles in the chiller. The steaks hanging in the meat fridge incidentally looked quite magnificent, but I dread to think what the cost is.

Changed since the recent PuG pub crawl and renamed The Porterhouse, with a dark, clean and modern internal rehaul. It's still cosy-ish and still hanging off GK's coattails with Morland Original and Old Golden Hen accompanying Titanic Stout and White Horse Wayland Smithy on the four pumps (no sign of XT, but I was informed they are still in dialogue with them and still stock their beers). The team at the nearby Punter own this, and there is accommodation available along with a meat-heavy menu (the clue is in the name) and there was a fridge to the left of the doorway leading to the toilets holding hunks of beef. Probably not as great as previous incarnations, but still the best closest bet to the station.

Well described by fellow PuG crawlers below.
A good half of XT1 set me up for the journey home.
Close to Oxford railway station and worth a visit if in the area.
