| Yes sadly closed. Back in the mid 80s we occasionally met up here after work in Wallingford then continued cycling back to Abingdon - slowly! It was a lovely busy unpretentious village pub, of which there were so many back then, with a nice atmosphere and unique (to me) for having 'wood pigeon pie' on the menu. Brilliant!

| This pub closed at least 10 years ago. Now a house. galactico - 6 Apr 2012 12:12 |
| Worked at Harwell in the 80s and last drank at what was a wonderful unspoiled pub in '91. They featured this as a place where the nuclear scientists would discuss plasma physics from the local fussion experiment at the nearby Culham labs in a documentary many moons ago. Went out of my way to find it in 02 to find it was shut. Returned once more when it was a short lived B&B before the owner developed it, or sold it, for purely residential use. The owner was the former landlord but complained that it was not a great place to run, siting if I recall correctly biker gangs. My memories of biker gangs in the area was not of hells angels but guys who went round on a variety of machines, many of them classic British bikes. All a great shame. baggydave - 2 Jan 2010 13:41 |
