Dunsden Green Farm, Church Lane, Dunsden, RG4 9QD (View on Google Map)

A popular tap yard with indoor, covered and outdoor areas, serving up to 4 of the brewery's cask ales via handpump.

Situated on a farm in rural South Oxfordshire, Loddon Tap Yard has been much extended from its early days as a taproom off the main brewery. The indoor bar serves a selection of Loddon cask ales on handpump as well as keg taps of live Loddon beers. The bar leads out to a large enclosed, covered and heated decking area with seating for around 95 and outside there is an uncovered courtyard with seating for a further 150. Popular with cyclists and walkers.

Winter hours usually run from late September or early October through to March.

A small range of home-made snacks are available at the bar as well as coffee, tea and cakes, plus a wider range of food from the permanent Proper Kitchen. Other pop-up street food vendors occasionally set up in the courtyard when the kitchen is closed.

There is also a Farm Shop that sells a small selection of local fresh produce as well as local ciders, wines, spirits and liqueurs, plus the full range of Loddon beers along with bottled and canned beers from other breweries, all to take away. Growler refills are ordered in the Farm Shop.

Defibrillator available outside on the wall facing the car park.
