CHILDREN
In our small public house we have nowhere for children to play or run around.
BEFORE 5pm, children accompanied by parents or bona fide guardians are welcome for a meal in the covered courtyard or ‘the Cottage’.
AFTER 5pm, we offer NO facilities for the under-18’s.
Please do not misunderstand us, we love children and we are very proud of ours.
The ‘COTTAGE’
To the north side of the courtyard there is a small cottage with a quiet room away from the main hubbub of the public house where we can seat 10 round a large circular table.
This small, cosy room may be reserved for a business meeting, club meeting, discussion club, seminar, family meeting etc. with or without lunch or supper.
Ring us (01865 510551) to make a booking, there is no fee but we expect a minimum spend of £75 on drink and/or food. As an example, a group of 10 people each having a pint or glass of wine and a sandwich, would cover this.
On Jazz nights it becomes the musicians ‘green room’.
THE COURTYARD
Beneath a fabulous weather-proof rolling cover are rustic wooden bench seats, tables painted in a variety of deep yellow hues, heaters, barbecue and a vine covered pergola, awaiting the adventurous patron.
Part of the courtyard is available for hire to accommodate groups to meet and eat. (10 – 30 covers).
Every table has an integrated, customer-operated, infra-red heated table leg that keep your legs warm and ensure comfortable body temperature.
Installed by MENSA HEATING, the Vireoo “Professional” tables are “safe touch“.
THE BARBECUE
We can provide steaks, fresh cuts of marinaded lamb, chicken, pork sausages (check the Aldens website below), with chips, baked potatoes, salads.
Annabel and Debbie will organise all of your ‘culinary’ requirements!
We buy all our meat from “Aldens Meatmaster” at their Osney Mead, Oxford meat cash and carry. It is OPEN to everyone and at great prices! Meatmaster claim “Save up to 40% compared with supermarkets“, got to be worth a look, eh?
PAYMENT BY CARD
We accept debit and credit cards for all amounts, within the card guarantee system.
We do not offer CASH BACK.
DOGS, CATS and PETS
We have NO FACILITIES for pets at any part of the day, however quiet or docile they might be!
STAG and HEN PARTIES
This small public house is wholly unsuitable for ‘stag’ or ‘hen’ parties. We take this opportunity to wish all ‘Stags’ and ‘Hens’, wherever you are, a long and happy future together.
DINING
This is an English pub dining experience, where food and drinks are ordered at the table and then brought to you. There is no specific ‘restaurant area’.
‘In house’ ATM
However, if you need CASH, we have an ATM for your convenience, where there is a charge added by the service providers of £1.45 per transaction. SEPTEMBER 2019 closed down by YOUR CASH (Euronet Ltd.) – insufficient usage. This really was ‘if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it’.
