White Horse, Oxford

Very traditional city-centre pub, with a narrow frontage and a mostly dark wood-panelled interior that doesn't expand as you go further back (which isn't far, although there is a single table on slightly raised area beyond the counter). Disappointingly, there was just a single cask beer on the two banks of three handpumps on a Monday afternoon (although there was a draught cider on another). However, I was told - unprompted - that they had just had an unexpectedly busy weekend. My pint of Loose Cannon's Abingdon Bridge (£4.90) proved to be excellent, so I was satisfied that I was just a bit unlucky.
