Update
This is low-ceilinged and wooden-beamed internally, and was probably two-roomed originally as a stone pillar bisects the bar just off of middle. A sunken area to far left houses a dartboard and a clutch of trophies. The right-hand side houses tables and chairs and the exposed stone has been rendered over here. There's a fireplace on this side, which to the left is accompanied by a previous version of the pub sign, which proclaims 'Morrells of Oxford' below the painting of the Yeoman on horseback. Ales on were Brakspear Bitter, North Cotswold Windrush and Banks Fine Fettle (£1.80 for half). A fourth pump was occupied by Weston's Rosie's Pig cider. A pool table was housed in a covered patio area out front where most were congregating on a warm July evening.

Original Review April 2014 (BITE)
A world away from the similarly-named Buckinghamshire Yeoman in Aylesbury, this is a cracking village pub situated north-west of Oxford betwixt the A40 and A44. I had a superb pint of Tricerahops from the Hop Kettle brewery which was wonderfully fruity and hoppy and whilst the other ale choices of Marston Pedigree and Jennings Cumberland Ale sound seemingly anodyne, they were served, surprisingly, from gravity via barrels on the bar. A bingo night was in full swing during my sojourn, bar billiards and darts were available, and the unpretentious food menu (I didn't partake but the portions looked generous) all added to the ambience of a traditional country pub. Top marks and well worth revisiting.
