The bar runs along one wall to the right as you enter, and the pub stretches back quite a long way, with seating tucked away behind screen dividers. Flowering plants in small tin buckets sit on the tables. Exposed floorboards around the bar provide standing space, while elsewhere the floor is covered with a patterned carpet. A dais at the back has additional seating, and there's also some outside seating at the front in a cordoned-off area of pavement (some high chairs, some normal). Down some stairs is a bookable basement bar. |
On [[bob]]'s 2007 visit, it was relatively crowded early on a Friday evening. The sausage platter was OK, and the beer was drinkable. Ales available were Special, Ordinary, and Bombardier. |

When [[bob]] visited on a Friday early evening in 2007, it was relatively crowded. The sausage platter was OK, and the beer was drinkable. Ales available were Young's Special, Young's Bitter, and Bombardier. |
[[Kake]] visited again on a Tuesday lunchtime in the week before Christmas 2008. The ale choices were again Special, Ordinary (1.55/half), and Bombardier. There were about a dozen people in at noon, and more kept arriving; by 12:15 it was really filling up to the point where I drank up and left to free up my table. There was no music when I arrived, but they turned it on shortly before I left (Christmas music, though not annoyingly loud). |

According to the Young's website as of December 2008, food is served noon-10pm Monday to Friday. It's not cheap - specials noted on a December 2008 visit were priced between £9.25 (roasted vegetable dauphinoise with red wine jus and watercress) and £16 (8oz sirloin steak with dauphinoise, shallots, and green beans). |

[[Kake]] visited again on a Thursday early evening in September 2012. The ales were more varied this time: Young's Bitter, Young's London Gold, Bombardier, and Oxfordshire Marshmellow. A pint of lime and soda was £2.05. There were a fair few people in at 5:15pm, and it continued to fill up over the next hour, but there were still free tables at 6:15pm. Music was playing at a reasonable level when I arrived, but was turned up a little before 6pm to the point where it could start to impede conversation. |
Accessibility: Ramp to get in, level access to the bar and most of the seating once you're in. Dedicated accessible toilet (think it might have been Radar locked). Other toilets down a flight of stairs, and there's a basement bar down there too. |
