Another fine pub in the Jericho area of Oxford. An enticing exterior gives way to a traditional pub interior as well described below. The small enclosed garden area outback is well worth a look, especially for the small additional room right at the end that apparently is the building where the landlords son lives and the downstairs room can be rented out for meetings, get togethers e.t.c. Adnams Southwold Bitter,Box Steam Tunnel Vision, Shotover Scholar, and Hook Norton Old Hooky were the four beers available for our visit and the Tunnel Vission was very passable. Another very good pub in this area.

Another well presented pub exterior, with an equally inviting and quirky interior. The layout consisted of an entrance lobby, with church pews for seating along the right hand wall. Two rooms lead off this area, a small front room with a terracotta tiled floor and an upright piano. Behind this room was another small room with a small bar on the left of entry and an open hatch into the lobby. The rear of the pub had a small enclosed garden. There were four ales on handpump, so I went for Old Hooky, which was in good shape.
