Large pub on the green at lower Wolvercote, a short walk from the remains of Godstow nunnery. There is an attractive, mature garden with a children’s play area. Sadly the pygmy goats have moved on. The indoor dining area is bolstered by a huge conservatory. Run for 10 years as a gastropub by Jacob's & Field but could not agree on lease renewal. Opened June 2023 and closed again. Re-opened November 2024 under new management. The latest information is that there is no real ale although the website says 'cask beer on tap'! Closed again 2 September 2025 although lights still on. Reopened September 11 under new management.

Historic Interest

Listed Grade II. Probably C18 in origin and much altered. Listed for its position.
