Close to the railway station and a rare survivor: a traditional, Victorian, street-corner local. It is actually a grand building, rebuilt in 1899 and dated 1900, and has two rooms which have been joined together, served by a single small bar. There is another small room to right of the entrance, the old smoking room. Has recently had several changes of management but refurbished 2017 and now being run by the same people as the Punter on Osney Island. Gone upmarket with bespoke steak menu and prices to match. Open 8 to 12 for breakfast. No children's menu.
