Turf Tavern, Oxford

Make sure you have a good map with you to find this pub but as others have said, its well worth it. Been here in the winter months and is fantastic setting in subdued lighting. The outside toilet block means you get a blast of fresh air between pints! Certainly one of the best pus in Oxford for the selection of ales.

A 1960s looking large house type of detached brick building, with blue and white paintwork. There is a beer patio, with part of the building now seemingly given over to the Aldridge Balti - though this isnt incorporated into the pub, there is a set of sliding wood doors in the lounge that must once accessed these premises. The interior has a separate bar and lounge. The bar has a pool table annex and a dart area. The decor is white and cream, with white ceiling. There are several TVs around showing everything from The Simpsons, to silent footy and ceefax racing. There are ole photos on the walls and leather perimeter seating. Background music was a bit loud and charty, the service ok and clientele mixed. The lounge was in white with some wood panel and a bar in pine. Beer; all tap stuff, with a decent enough Highgate MILD A basic place really for beer - does have the entertainment though; pool, TV and darts, so if that's what you want its fine - but as a beer lover, the Lazy Hill is the better option.

Buger to find but worth it , 10 ales on , Summer ale very nice , small beer garden and multiroomed pub , very studenty and touristy can get very busy . Worth popping in for a pint or two
