  “Nice to see the L & F back open again. It's just off the tourist trail in Oxford, so you do tend to get more locals, students and those in 'the know'. Basic pub atmosphere with few pretentions, though £12.50 for a large glass of Pino G was just too much at this pub, the beers and ciders are more reasonable. Enjoy.”

  “Lovely old Oxford pub with great vibe, everyone seemed to be having a good conversation. No music in the background disturbing you. Outside seats give lovely green back street perspective to pub. Only disappointment was when I tried to buy a Tshirt displayed with a 20 pound price and the visa machine read 29.50. The staff explained I had chosen a premium T. Confusing. Moving on.... Great selection of craft and real ale beers. Lovely.”

  “Sitting outside in the laneway talking to locals was a real treat. Such a lovely atmosphere. Currently not serving food, but very well priced drinks and staff were happy to recommend other eateries. So nice, we stayed for a second!”

  “First time visit- comfy sofa next to an old fireplace. Really cosy. Busy and loud great atmosphere. Enjoyed the cider and tried the hobbit ale- that was pure toe cheese, so will stick with the cider next time. Lovely staff- very friendly! Good music played”

  “I ordered a beer expecting it to be cold, but it was served at room temperature. As I am not from the UK, I politely asked if it could be exchanged for a cold one. I was told I would need to pay for another beer, which I did without any argument. I then politely asked if I could speak to the manager to see if anything could be done. Instead, I was told that it was “basic knowledge” that this type of beer is served at that temperature. I understand that the two young women serving me were probably very busy, and I do not wish to criticize them personally. However, I felt the situation could have been handled with more patience and kindness. As a foreign visitor, I had no way of knowing this, and rather than receiving a simple explanation, I was left feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. I sincerely hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future international visitors.”

  “A fabulous pub on St Giles, around 20 keg lines and 9 or 10 cask pumps. It was very busy even though we went in at 4pm. We did find a small table though. A very mixed clientele, backpackers, students and college dons, all very good natured. The ales were very well kept and we ended up having several each. Amazing pub.”

  “This is a historic pub where famous writers like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien used to enjoy their drinks. Tony Blair and Bill Clinton have also had a pint here. Drinking delicious ale from noon is just the best! The cakes and bread were also tasty, and the atmosphere was outstanding.”

  “A very good selection of local craft brews. As an American brewer on vacation it was such a welcome relief to get some craft beer with full flavor and alcohol content. We were staying just up the road and I loved stopping for a pint on our way to and from the tourist stuff to help keep my spirits up. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being an island among all the other pubs serving the usual low alcohol beer. Oh, and the bartenders were fast and friendly.”
