This has had numerous incarnations over the years but is now a warm, comfortable and, to use an old-fashioned word, convivial place to enjoy a beer. A large array of pump clips is on display showing past guest beers. It is laid out on two floors; all decor is of a pleasing contemporary style. There is even a mid-stairs point on a small mezzanine, where you can sit awhile. It has slowly lost cask beer sales since becoming Turing Tap, focusing instead on the student trade. It has lots of personality for a managed pub, there's a wall of academy VIP passes from past gigs, plus two Sky TV boxes and a huge projector screen providing for sports fans. There is a popular quiz on Tuesdays, and live music once a month. 15% off for NHS staff.
Historic Interest
Built as a Hogshead ale house some years ago, it changed its name to the Oxford, lost real ale, then back came the cask. Became Turing Tap in late 2016.
