This friendly, open-plan pub with polished wooden floors and panelling has been transformed by the owners, Oak Taverns, giving it a new lease of life. Six handpumps now adorn the bar, serving constantly changing beers. Six ciders are also available. There is a large, grassy, sloping garden at the rear, with tables for drinkers. An on-site microbrewery to be called the Wantage Brewery is planned which is hoped will commence brewing in the near future.
