The Turf Tavern, Oxford
I discovered this pub in 1951 as a choir boy at Manchester college. We were invited to sing carols, for mince pies, after the Christmas service at the college. The customers made a collection and we choristers went home with pockets bulging with coppers. What a Christmas we had! When occasion permits I pop in for a quick one, (52 years on) and it still has the old charm, warmth and welcome from half a century ago.
In August 2005 there is a group of International book lovers arriving in Oxford for a convention, several commited beer drinkers have asked if I can show them a SPECIAL pub. You bet I can!
