Free standing pub with one large room. There is a pleasant garden on the lower level. There are six handpumps, and up to four cask ales are usually available. Note that the toilets are downstairs. The Oval is noted for its regular live music, mainly jazz, blues and folk (see Facebook), and popular Wednesday quiz. On rare occasions the pub closes for private functions (these closures are announced in advance on the pub's social media). On other occasions (in particular quiz nights) you may find that many of the tables have been reserved.
