Quinno _ left this review about Duke of Oxford
An upmarket quirky place which includes a baby grand piano and a suit of armour - nice if slightly contrived. Three cask hidden right round the corner past a couple of cider pumps and cake stand – felt like a bit of an afterthought but it’s GBG’23 listed. The line-up consisted of 2x Quantock and Exmoor. My Quantock Eternal Spring didn't fully clear and was a disappointing muted thing (NBSS 2). Worth a nose for the interior but maybe swerve the cask. The local CAMRA seem to have a surfeit of entries – the White Hart and Waverley are better shouts than this for decent real ale and they are hardly meccas.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Duke of Oxford
Refurbished corner pub with slightly uninviting dark grey-green paintwork. However, the semi-traditional interior is rather more appealing, albeit in its own words as a "Coffee + Beer + Wine + Cake" sort of place. Several different seating / dining areas in a slightly split-level L-shaped layout, together with another few tables upstairs. Grand piano for the live Sunday jazz events. Good Beer Guide listed, with three Quantock Brewery beers - QPA, a very good dark-brown Plastered Pheasant (£4.60) and Theatrical Skies - plus Lilley's Mango cider available from four of the five handpumps.

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Duke of Oxford
Renamed yet again since my previous visit and although the basic layout remains largely unchanged, it has had a decent refurbishment and now seems generally much more inviting, with a friendly barmaid and quite a relaxed feel to it.
Décor wise it now has something of a rustic feel, with some old wooden beams around and small sections of exposed brickwork. Lighting was provided by exposed filament bulbs, which is of course de rigour in any pub renovation these days. Flooring was mostly dark laminate along with some stripy carpet, and the remaining timberwork was painted a dark green, with white plasterwork elsewhere. Some small sections of stained glass were in the top of the windows. A couple of recessed seating areas with lower ceiling sections looked quite cosy, and the striped bench seating here matched the carpet. A small penny farthing was in one window, whilst elsewhere were a baby grand piano and a guitar, although whether these are used or merely decorative I’m not sure.
Beers on tap were Rebel Kurt and their own Duke of Oxford, whilst a third pump appeared unused. Ciders were well represented with Thatcher’s Gold, Thatcher’s Haze, Lilley’s Elderflower and Lilley’s Somerset Scrumpy. All in all, I thought they had done a decent job here and I hope they’re more successful than most of the previous owners seem to have been.
