Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Gardeners Arms

The lesser known of the two pubs in the Jericho area sharing the same name, this one is an attractive side-street establishment with quite a narrow but elongated interior in three parts. The lounge area can be found at the front, with the bar in the centre and a further seating in a partly opened-out section at the back. Four cask ales - Chadlington's Bruern Gold (£5.20), a pair from Green Duck and the Shadow of Darkness from 'IS' (actually Disruption is Brewing) - and a pair of ciders being served from the six handpumps.

Called in here for the first time despite previous visits to the excellent Rose & Crown over the road. A pleasant looking pub,It's long and narrow inside with a carpeted floor, various tables and chairs along with some upholstered bench seating, the pub very much has an old school look about it.The three handpump offerings were Wainwright , Skinners Lushingtons and Gardeners Arms Ale, presumably some Greene King beer in disguise, the Lushingtons though was nice enough. This pub doesn't match up to its neighbor over the road but it's well worth a pint here.

A first in here the other night and first off, this pub shouldn't be confused with the superior Gardeners Arms to the south-west on Plantation Road. Nevertheless, this pub makes for a welcome double with the Rose & Crown across the road. The interior is well described below except that the piano would now appear to be an upright rather than grand and I didn't spot the hot nuts machine; it was a cold night and minus my long johns, I could have done with some extra warmth. Clients seemed like a decent bunch, older and more genteel, though this is rather an expensive residential area off the tourist and student trail.
Ales: Gardener's Arms Finest Ale and tongue-tying Thwaites' Wainwright's Extremely Lovely Golden Pale Ale at £3.80 a pint and decent enough.
I'd come here again but was rather put off by the fungus infestation (which resembled grass) descending (or growing) out of the outlet pipe to the urinal cistern in the gent's.
Note also the opening times as this place would appear to be closed on Mondays.
