Occupying a decent plot along with a vast, gravelled car park, this has had a bit of money thrown at it in a return after a couple of years closure. A former mill, this retains a small millwheel which is a nice touch. The bar is located to the left on entry and there's a decent area reserved, although I did spot a couple of people eating, so safe to assume bar food is available. Two Brakspear beers - Bitter and Oxford Gold - on with a third pump unclipped (the "pumps" are actually wooden spade handles). £4.30 for a pint of Oxford Gold - a beer that's never set my world on fire, and neither did it attempt to drop a curve ball this time around. Radio 1 Live Lounge-type muzak in the background which was fairly unobtrusive. Looks the business inside and out, but with a clutch of local breweries in the area, it's a shame there's no further invention on the beer front. Having said that, it's Brakspear that have thrown the money at it, so the limited range is understandable.
