| Large estate pub on the Horspath Road, formerly another escape out of Cowley, now turned into a dead-end road at the point it meets the Ring Road. This pub is split into two main rooms, a narrow room to the right with tables and chairs, presumably set out for dining, and a larger, more open public bar to the right. I can’t make a judgement based on the below comments, but the male and female (landlord/landlady?) I encountered seemed pleasant enough. A handful of locals were in on a Wednesday night, a Galatasaray-Chelsea Champions’ League game playing on a large screen to limited interest. I opted for the GK IPA which was vinegary to say the least, chiming in as it did at £3.00, however, I was in a rush, so didn’t have the time or inclination to complain. The décor is worth a mention inasmuch as there is a real Victorian University library-type feel to parts of the interior, imbued in the dark wood panelling. Camra bang on about the nearby Fairview Inn, but for me this and the Art Deco-style trappings of the (also nearby) Nuffield Arms are equally as impressive. Komakino - 27 Feb 2014 13:57 |
| I had gone in for a quiet drink with a friend. After a couple of hours and out of nowhere, the landlady was stood hurling verbal abuse at me. She looked like she was about to physically attack me before she had to be escorted out from her own pub by two men. This was totally unprovoked and am still in shock. I did not recieve an apology and do not know why this happened. How very professional anonymous - 19 Apr 2007 12:43 |
| i feel very much the same. Could be a great pub but i found the landlady to be very unprofessional and extremely rude. I also will not be visiting AGAIN! anonymous - 16 Apr 2007 13:15 |
