The good pub guide review

In the centre of a vibrant Cotswold market town, within walking distance of Blenheim Palace, this is a lively and easy-going inn with an friendly air. The bar has a few leather winged chairs, wooden tables and chairs on patterned floor tiles or large rugs, hops on beams, bare stone walls, a log fire beneath a big copper hood and high chairs by the green-painted counter. There's a beer named for the pub, Greene King IPA, Old Speckled Hen and Timothy Taylors Landlord on handpump and good wines by the glass, served by cheerful staff. The hop-strung, dark beamed dining room has chunky tables and dark wooden chairs on parquet flooring, scatter cushions or animal hides on wall seating and a woodburning stove. The back courtyard has rustic benches and chairs and tables on flagstones, and there are a few seats out in front too. Bedrooms are comfortable, contemporary and compact. Sister pub is the Jacobs Inn at Wolvercote.

The good pub guide food review

Food is enjoyable and includes good breakfasts (8am-noon) plus lunchtime sandwiches and baguettes, heritage beetroot with goats cheese, fennel and apple, crispy duck salad with soy and sesame dressing, butternut squash and sage risotto with parmesan and white truffle oil, double cheeseburger and fries, chargrilled cauliflower with pomegranate and coriander, a range of steaks (beef, chicken, swordfish and vegetarian), chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms with madeira cream sauce, and puddings such as vanilla and red berry cheesecake and salted caramel crème brûlée.
