The James Street Tavern is a small and basic boozer with a flagstone bar area and wooden floored seating areas around. The bar counter on the rear wall supports premium keg and three hand pumps that were drawing TT Landlord, Greene King’s Rocking Rudolph and Weston’s Rosie's Pig Cider. The service was polite, but the pub is forgettable.

Hard one to rate:
Sunday afternoon and there was a very good singer/guitarist on - providing some real entertainment.
The bar staff were chronic. No one acknowledging our presence of 4 at the bar. One bloke just walking off after serving the person in front - without saying he was going on his break or whatever. The girl continuing to ignore us as she served a regular behind us first.
When she did serve us - she never cracked her face once and everything was too much trouble, including moving her laptop from the one available free table.
Still. The singer was good.

A converted house, displaying some attractive Morland décor, this pub has been knocked through to make it what it is today.
A first in here the other night to a pub which seems aimed at a younger crowd, possibly with a live music bent alluded to by the spotlights and mirror ball in a corner, offset by the mauve and purple walls which look a bit rundown. The floor is part flagstone and part bare boarded with a bar to the rear, furniture is conventional.
Ales: Morland's Old Speckled Hen, Shotover Brewery's Oxford Trinity and James Street's own house ale at £1.90 a half and poor.
This really isn't my bag so a return is not on the cards.
