Square room with central servery, 6 pulls of micro brews mainly local plus a selection of national kegs. There's a special fireplace, decor is brewery ads and pump clips. Very alehouse in character. Opens at 6:30 through the week and doesn't look very open even when it is, check the door.

A Victorian corner pub, it reopened last year as an ale pub and has now distanced itself from its former reputation. It has been refurnished, the regulars are now starting to come back and it's getting a good reputation for its beers. The decor is slightly chaotic, the carpeted bar is furnished with a mixture of benches and chairs, There are no frills, just a basic working pub with good beer and an enthusiastic landlord who likes his ale. Five ales, a Japanese beer and some German lager on this time, all rather drinkable. If the standard keeps up this will be a future GBG candidate, and although it's a bit off the beaten track, it's quite close to the railway station so is worth breaking a journey for. An essential part of a SP2 crawl.

Recently reopening following what I gather was a lengthy spell of closure, the Duke of York is now trying to plant its roots firmly in the Real Ale market. It is situated in the back streets but quite near the railway station making it a fine start (or in or case finish) to an ale trail.
I have not been here in its previous guise when it was primarily a gay pub but the interior looks like it has had a recent and makeover that appears fresh and tidy but quite plain and unassuming. A large collection of pump clips gradually taking over the wall space was the most notable feature.
There were 7 hand pumps with Botley Best, Botley Old Cooperage, Moorhouse Premier and a couple of ciders from Gwynt Y Ddrage, Happy Daze and Haymaker. The landlord (I presume) was very welcoming and chatty regarding the beers and has clearly set out his stall to compete with the better ale pubs in town, one of which, The Village is a couple of munutes walk.
As this was pub No. 13 out of 14 visited, things are a little hazy but I can recall enough to suggest that ale tourists include this on their itinery. Maybe next time I’ll make it an earlier stop!
