A proper village pub
on the Thames.

Grade II listed, freehold, and still doing the simple things well — good beer, a fire in winter, a garden the size of a field, and dogs asleep under the tables.

Every night has its thing

The Garden

Two acres of it, running down toward the river. Picnic benches, a covered terrace for when Oxford does what Oxford does, and space for the kids to run themselves tired.
