Beer: the London Pride was chilled and not actually recognisable. On top of that, it's pretty expensive too. All of the beers are expensive in here. I'd try the [[Wharf House]] along [[Speedwell Street]] if I were you, providing it's open.

Past contributors have varied in their opinions of this place. In the main, people seem to like the food, but it's generally regarded as expensive, and they don't keep their beer well. There was also a suggestion that the staff were not particularly friendly, although rather attractive!.
''Visited with two friends one Sunday lunchtime in June. The place was only half-full, but had a good ambience. Sadly that was the best thing about the place - they messed up my drinks order, refused to cook steaks any way other than well-done for "safety reasons", and when a tempting salad featuring "smoked chicken, crayfish tails, watercress and sugar-snap peas" turned up it lacked all of the above except the crayfish. Not really good enough, especially given that their prices are far from cheap. --Steve, 2006-06-25''

A tall building with ample terracing on the St. Aldate's side, and also the only one reachable directly from Christ Church Meadow, it has been done out within the last five years in a nautical theme, and happens on a pair of floors with a tall dais at the northern end of the ground floor.

There is an upside-down rowing eight on the ceiling of the ground floor, and instructions for the obtaining of food (expensive for main courses, reasonable for "light main courses") and accommodation (there are a number of rooms available).
