An attractive village pub in this drive-through village between Burford and Witney. There's exposed stone and beams internally in a long-rectangular room, accessed from a doorway from the car park. You enter into a small, square flagstoned floor area housing a dartboard above a former fireplace which is occupied by a wine rack holding empty wine bottles. The bar is against the right-hand wall with the rest of the main bar area segueing into carpeted floor with branches affixed to the ceiling with fairy lights wrapped around them. A large stone fireplace is at the far left of the room with a modern burner occupying it. A doorway leads to a dining area which was unused on my visit. Three ales on were Fuller's London Pride, St Austell Tribute and North Cotswold Windrush Ale - the latter £1.90 a half and palatable. The vibe was a little "locally" but not overly so, and a jukebox appeared to set to autoplay, albeit a tad on the unnecessarily overloud side, which is a shame as it took something away from the ambience. The beer garden the other side of the car park was busy and is shaded by large trees which gives some respite on hot days. The Aunt Sally pitch was set up and a few punters were tossing sticks at the doll. There was also, bizarrely, a fish and chip van parked in the car park. Bit of a curious place, but eminently more preferable to the nearby Dovecote.
