Turing Tap

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 developed cask beer sales (growing from three handpulls to six - five for cask beer, one for cider) in the last five years, by building on quality and rotating selection. Great value pub food is served daily. 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. History: built as a Hogshead ale house a few years ago, it changed its name to the Oxford, lost real ale, then back came the cask. Became Turing Tap in late 2016.
