The Plough (Courage)
Garsington

Commanding the slope of Garsington Hill overlooking Oxford it has a huge 
splendid and uneven (see below) lawn behind it.  Log fire and plaque 
"Oxford Mail Pub of the Year 1982).  Warm, comfortable and the Public Bar 
is scarcely any less cosy than the Lounge Bar to the SE of it.

Unfortunately the Penny Black has been replaced by guest ales, currently 
Greene King Abbot.

When you investigate the Gents (they are in an annexe outside), you see 
all of Oxford.  Goodness knows what Matthew Arnold was thinking about when 
he raved about Boar's Hill: this is the place to go to see the city.

Magnificent apple pies, and if your mobile phone goes off at the bar, you 
have to buy everyone a drink. (1999-01-08)

Owen Massey adds:
A sign in the garden of the Plough reads "Due to the uneven lawn and the 
presence of moles your table may tip." (1998-10-11)
