The Carpenters Arms, Marble Arch

Overall positive experience. Very local, unpretentious, with a happy selection of 5 (apparently, sometimes 6) real ales.

The night I was there (mid-May), the pub had:
-Ramsbury "Flint Knapper";

-Windsor & Eton "Wedding Knot Royal Wedding Ale";
-Dorset Piddle Brewery "Piddle";
-Oxfordshire Ales "Tripple B"; and
-Bank's "Ruby Mild".

The layout of The Carpenters Arms is nice, because it's kind of divided into sections, so you're not out in the middle of a hall.

Found this pub on Google maps, of all places, doing a search for "real ale" (enough with corporate ale, eh). Thank goodness!
