The Green Man (Mitchell and Butler), Main Street, Mollington

M & B Brew XI GBP 1.90 (2000-06-25)

Since the demise of the Sun Rising at Claydon (about six years ago, as it 
turns out), this is the northernmost pub in Oxfordshire, and the first Green 
Man I've been to. Mollington is in a little dip off the side of the main road, 
and the pub sits on a raised pavement overlooking fields.

Impression of low ceilings within, a poster listing Green Man-related events 
in Britain as far north as Fife, a television round the corner from the door 
(showing the Netherlands trouncing Yugoslavia at the football), Chinese 
character horse brasses above the door, and no hand pumps. Enjoyed the Brew XI,
though. I suspect the chairs were carpented specially for this pub. They're 
upholstered stools with wooden backs to them. The backs have clover-shaped 
holes carved into them.

There are lots of Mitchell and Butler pubs in this area because M & B took 
over Hunt Edmunds, a Banbury brewer. Many of them still have the Hunt Edmunds 
logo, a coat of arms showing a fine lady upon a fine horse, by the door.

Update: the local CAMRA newsletter, Beer on Tap, tells us that the Green
Man now has real ale.
