My first stop on a Monday afternoon visit to Bicester was this Irish-themed pub which is deceptively large.
I wasn't expecting much of this Greene King pub. But it ended up being my favourite pub in Bicester.
The Irish barmaid took my temperature on arrival. With Greene King IPA & London Glory being the ale choice, I swerved these and fancying a soft drink, opted for a Coke.
What made this pub for me was the friendly welcome from the barmaid. She went out of her way to chat and showed a genuine interest in why I was there. She even gave me a full guided tour of the pub, which was appreciated given most staff are reluctant to encourage any movement around the pub.
The pub essentially has 3 bars. You pass from the front bar into an even larger room offset to the left-hand side. Beyond that is a further space and another bar used for live music. At the rear is a large outdoor space, strangely featuring replica shop fronts.
Certainly a large pub with a few elderly locals, who clearly appreciate the pub to make it their regular haunt.
I don't usually rate pubs based on the friendliness of the staff. But on this occasion, the White Hart stood out from a pretty average bunch based on this criteria.

Traditional looking pub in an old building which looks quite tidy from the outside. An upside down L shape interior that goes back a long way. Quite dark inside. The exposed stone walls and herringbone flooring add some charm to what looks like a recent refit. Pretty busy, seemed a hit with the younger locals. Disappointingly there was Just GK IPA available which was average.
