The White Horse, Abingdon

Formed from a collection of old and new stone buildings the inside looks recently modernised with a large open plan bar with much dining space; the mid-section is more of a bar than the other parts and has a couple of tall tables. The L shaped counter has eight handpumps in two banks and sells a selection of mainly Greene King beers but also a couple of reasonable guests, Hook Norton and Itchen Valley on my visit, the beers are listed on a blackboard behind the bar. Lighter wood furniture of armchairs, tables and some bench seating looking pretty new as does the rather garish wallpaper in one part. There are some old photos of the town and the usual screens and machines strategically located. There is a pleasant beer garden with a decent smoking shelter at the front. A pleasant pub with friendly staff and locals.
