We ate here both nights of our stay in Oxford. Good for pizza and beer. Good space indoors for seating and also good outdoor seating and a strong atmosphere throughout. We enjoyed the pub quiz on a Tuesday.

Went to enjoy a nice burger and the onion jam that they put on the burger was so salty that I couldn’t even finish eating it. I told them and they said that someone probably confused the sugar and the salt on the recipe 😅
