Old Tom, Oxford

Yes worth a visit had a good pint Green King Bohmian pub full of character

A narrow fronted old town pub named after the bell in the Christ Church tower opposite, this pub consists of a traditional bar with wooden floors and dark decor at the front and a tile-floored Thai restaurant to the rear. It retains much of its pub atmosphere, but it is by no means Oxford's best boozer. The attitude of the young barperson suggested that hospital food might be more to his liking than real ale, while the Thai cook was abrupt to the point of rudeness and seemed to resent serving food. The food itself was OK, but lacked the spiciness I would normally associate with Thai cuisine. There were 3 pumps on the bar but the only ale on was Old Speckled Hen which was, to be fair, in very good condition. It's OK to pop in for lunch if you are passing, it's convenient for some of the colleges and I would be happy to sample their beers, but I'm not sure I would want to spend the whole night here.

Small old Oxford pub which oozes charm. Greene King run with the usual IPA, etc. Sells Thai food. Small courtyard at the rear. Handy for the buses to Abingdon.
