Oxford’s second Wetherspoon pub opened in December 2009 in the castle development. A huge open-plan room is served by an equally huge L-shaped bar serving ale and cider from 10 hand pumps (but some double up). The overall ambiance is that of a hotel lounge and there is a small external area with patio seating.
