The Kings Head and Bell, Abingdon

I don;t know where this rumour about a wine bar keeps coming from.

It is owned by Foundation Inns who are currently doing the construction work to reopen this autumn or early next year. The planning permission is easily viewable at the district council web site, which clearly show it is still going to be a pub.

I contacted Foundation Inns to find out what it is going on and they said "Cask ales will be part of the offer along with a good selection of other product ranges and we will be introducing a good food offering at reasonable prices."

Nags Head On The Thames, Abingdon

This pub has improved a lot during the year. It now has 4 real ales that change frequently (good enough for the local Camra group to hold its branch meeting there recently). It has a reasonably priced food menu. The beer garden on the island has had new furniture. The interior seems cleaner with several separate areas including a tropical fish tank in the dining area. It does still have TV screens but they are not as loud and intrusive as before. You really need to ignore any reviews from before 2009.

Well served beer. Stock whatever guest beers Green King will allow. Enjoyed Abbot Reserve.
