Fir Tree, Oxford

Good Beer Guide 2022 entry - a reasonable 10 min walk from the town centre. Greene King branded. Small front bar - lots of wood - with a raised main drinking area and and hidden little isolated room on the way to the loos. My adult daughter was not too impressed with the cleanliness of the place - moving between a couple of tables to find seats not covered with snack debris. Wadworth 6x in reasonable condition.

A Greene King pub with six ales. An excellent selection with only one of theirs on, others included Oakham Inferno (fair), Mordue Workie Ticket (good), Thornbridge Jaipur and Purity Mad Goose plus Westons cider. Some interesting bottled ales too. Pleasingly higgledy-piggledy alehouse-feel inside, a number of small drinking areas over a couple of levels and a small but well-done rear patio. Bare-boarded with traditional wooden seating, various objects d'art on shelves and a number of retro pre-war advertising posters. Candles in wine bottles on the tables. Framed artwork for sale. Rock music via the jukebox (free between 4-6 and double credits 6-8!). WiFi. Excellent selection of bar snacks including jelly babies! A lot of character and seemingly well-worth heading out of town for (looks like things have improved since the previous reviewer’s fly-by).
