This is a shop conversion dating from 1996, the current name applied by Greedy Kerching in 2013.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t visit a pub conversion, let alone one run by GK but on Boxing Day, this along with the two ‘spoons was the only choice.
It’s a large semi-modern affair, well described below. Customers were either townies or the audience, pouring in from having watched Mamma Mia! at the New Theatre, opposite.
The ale line-up was predictable, with Old Tripe, GK IPA, Rocking Rudolph, Abbot, with salvation in the form of Landlord and Tribute at a reasonable (for Oxford) £4.60 a pint and not half bad.
This place makes for an emergency meetup place when all the other nice pubs are closed, but otherwise it’s not worth any special effort.

A big Greene King city centre circuit pub with an upstairs balcony added under the high ceiling. It didn't seem too bad on a quiet afternoon but is probably better avoided on Friday nights. Just GK ales on (IPA, Abbot, House Ale and Old Trip) but the condition was ok.

Huge, cavernous and noisy Greene King pub , the six handpumps offered no guest beers just an unexciting trio of Abbot, IPA and "Wig & Pen Bitter. I decided on a Bevertown Neck Oil the best of the keg available. Not a great place.
