A trendy back-street pub off the Iffley Road built in 1898 and now opened-out with boarded floors and powder blue painted walls. The stud copperwork bar front is of interest as are the brass light fittings but do not miss the original Halls Brewery stained and leaded glasswork on the entrance surrounds. There is a large patio garden to the rear with an impressive tree. If you want the famous Sunday Roast you need to be there before they open to get in the queue.
