This Wychwood Brewery-branded pub is very firmly a student favourite and its proximity to Goldsmith's College ensures their presence. There are 20% discounts for students as well as plentiful drinks offers. On a Thursday evening visit in November 2010, almost all clientele were students, and the place was busy, noisy and boisterous (with one particularly loud group engaged in vodka shots; when they left, the place seemed comparatively endearing). Conversely, on a Saturday afternoon in September 2013, it was quiet, with just a handful of customers in and music playing very quietly. |

The main room is arranged around a bar in the centre, with seating by the window, as well as long tables stretching back towards a large beer garden out the back. Decor is very bare. |

There are four handpulls for ale, which on [[Ewan]]'s visit were dispensing Wychwood Hobgoblin on two, Sharp's Doom Bar and Timothy Taylor's Landlord. The Doom Bar was not particularly well-kept, though certainly not undrinkable, and service was perfunctory. |

On [[Kake]]'s September 2013 visit, the handpulls had St Austell Tribute (£1.75/half), Sharp's Doom Bar, and Thatchers Heritage cider. The Tribute was fine. |
Thai food is served, from a kitchen based upstairs on the premises. Food wasn't sampled on [[Ewan]]'s visit, but it looked to be a good value menu. |

Thai food is served, from a kitchen based upstairs on the premises. We haven't tried it, but the menu looked to be good value. Accessibility: A step to get in. Once you're in, it's step-free to the bar, seating, and accessible toilet (not sure about the beer garden). The other toilets are up a flight of stairs. |
