One of the few pubs in Abingdon that is not Greene-King controlled and by far the best choice of real ales and ciders, all well served. Was quite busy for a Saturday afternoon because the 6 nations rugby was on, but still fine to sit around a table with friends and chat.

White Horse - Black Horse Porter5.00ExcellentDark and sweet and smooth with liquorice like tastes. It has less bitterness and less body than some other porters.
