Ah. One of these Olde Ale Houses, just like the old Fir Tree. Well at least
they have good beer.

Perfectly pleasant and harmless pub, yet another which has fallen victim to the
Greene King expansionist policy. You'd think there was enough Lebensraum in
East Anglia.

Pleasant enough pub in South Hinksey; the garden is quite nice in summer.

Something out of the 70's that should have been left there. I sat there for 15
minutes drinking my pint, and I was the _only_ preson in the pub apart from an
extremely bored-looking landlady. Very crap.

Two-room local, also popular with students. Pool room upstairs. Quite informal,
if you fancy something a bit more up-market go to the Folly Bridge Inn round
the corner.
