Goodlake Arms, Wantage

September 2015 This imposing hostelry is the only pub in the drive-through village of East Challow and necessitates steep steps to negotiate prior to entry. The chalkboards affixed to the outside walls are evidence of its Morland past, and although it’s no frills, the only option – Doom Bar (shudders) – was in surprisingly good nick and the small L-shaped room was tidy and presentable. Plenty of emphasis on the darts, and Sky Sports also seems to play a key role in this pub’s draw.
