Three Goats Heads, Oxford

Average beer - not exactly much choice - and a woeful ambience means I tend to give this place a miss on a night out. It might be cheap but price isn't everything!

The Royal Oak, Oxford

Formerly the best pub in town, and still great for a nice pint of ale, or just drinking. However, their food service is appalling. I've been three times for lunches due to it being close to work. Once they pulled as pints of beer before informing us that there was no food, despite there being menus all over the tables, and then looked put out when we didn't want to pay for them. The next time I was in, the food took about 45 minutes to arrive (admittedly they were busy) and was cold when it did. Then most recently I went in and was unable to have my food of choice. Fair enough, however taking 40 minutes to deliver two burgers and some fishcakes when it wasn't too busy was unacceptable. Won't be going back, which is a shame as the set up is quite nice there and the beers are excellent

Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford

Great beers, which change regularly. They have a policy of keeping one below £3 at all times which is great news for an evening out. There are a group of 4 or 5 pubs which are great real ale visits in the centre of Oxford, and just for the beer this is the best of the lot.

Really well run Pub Quiz on a Sunday night, too.
