Excellent pub this. Four cask ale taps, two cask cider or perry taps. 
Smallish, with a mezzanine level which has a piano on it for jazz on 
Sunday evenings, folk on Tuesdays, and other music (I forget) on Thursdays 
and Saturdays. Yellow walls, red ceiling, bare wooden floors. Cast iron 
fence round the edge of the mezzanine. The guest ale rotates monthly and 
is presently Marston's Pedigree, which I don't like as much as 
Caledonian's 80/-, which it was a while back. Same guest ale as the Royal 
Standard in Headington, the Grapes, the Isis, and the Fox at Sandford.

The decorations are mostly framed illustrations of bits of Oxford with the 
occasional advert from Westons Cider interspersed amongst them, and, 
oddest of all, a dry fishtank put together apparently by a primary school, 
full of illustrated bad fish puns. This is on the way to the facilities, 
which are green.

It also offers tea, coffee, and hot chocolate at all times. Pleasant on a 
clear evening with the sunset visible through the west-facing windows. The 
Traditional Hertfordshire Perry was very pleasant, thank you.
