12:15 A pub that's been on my wish list for many years. As good as I hoped. Not too busy, comfortable and friendly. Got into conversation with an interesting couple from Thame.

The pub is found in Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1 3BB.
On Broad Street. Lovely wood panelled pub and very convenient on one of Oxford's most famous streets. squeezed in between the two entrances to the Norrington Room of Blackwell’s bookshop, and opposite the Sheldonian Theatre. Dating from the 16th century and grade II listed (though it has been modified over time), it also claims to be Oxford’s smallest pub. the entrance to the pub is down three steps into a low, narrow room, with panelled walls, a long bar, and pictures of old University sporting teams. At the rear is a tiny snug, a raised area with one large table.
We have visited this pub 7 times, seen 16 different beers and tried 6 of them.
