Corner pub slightly away from the main thoroughfare in Goring, but actually next to the village car park.

The bar is L-shaped to fit the corner, with a sunken room at one end and a more formal dining area at the far end. Being a Marston's pub, the ale range is never going to be too inspiring. Brakspear Gravity & Ringwood Forty Niner are the regular beers. Additional beers were Ringwood Boon Doggle & Wychwood Dirty Tackle. At least the Dirty Tackle was one I hadn't tried before.

There was a good mix of people, some with their dogs in here, making it quite a pleasant atmosphere. The gents' toilets are in the sunken room and are well hidden. The landlady had to point it out to one unsuspecting bloke.

Perfectly reasonable pub near Goring & Streatley Station with ales from Marston's permanent and seasonal ranges. The weary traveller was quickly served and the pint slipped down in no time. I'd be happy to return if I ever found myself alongside the Oxfordshire Thames again.

Usually four ales from across the Marstons stable plus Thatchers Heritage cider. ale quality usually very drinkable. An atmospheric low-ceilinged, multi-level interior. A formal dining area to the left with oars on wall and wood block floor. Drinking area to the right with quarry tile flooring, inglenook fireplace (not lit) and access to the rear garden. Not a big pub and is a bit of a squeeze in the drinking area. Various wooden wheels dotted around and incorporated into the furnishings. Pub advertised live music, quiz, and WiFi. Pretty busy usually.

Generic country pub ambience in the drinking area, low beams, real fire etc, with a larger and less characterful dining area further on. A Brakspear's house serving Brakspear Bitter, Oxford Gold and Hooky Dark - my pint of Hooky Dark was poor, unfortunately. The hidden toilet is hilarious, yah. Maybe caught it on a bad day but it didn’t appeal to me much. Rated 5
