Deceptively large interior, newly refurbished in a smart cafe-bar style and with a variety of seating. A pub since 1869 when East Oxford was first being developed known as the Ampney Cottage, and for a while an ale house run by Wychwood Brewery under Hobgoblin branding. Large garden and popular with local students.
