The Old Tom is a narrow but deep Greene King pub on St. Aldate's. It's recently been renovated. Beer on offer includes IPA, Abbott Ale and a regular guest ale.
Wide range of pretty good food, served from lunchtime until 10pm on weekdays and 10am until 10pm weekends. Menu on their website; looks like £6–£7 for a main course. The food now appears to be Thai (with a rather small range of other bar food), although the prices seem roughly as above.
They have a beer garden, with seating for 30 people at a combination of bench style and bistro tables. The back half of the bar is more like a tea-shop with glass tops to the tables. Not a very pub-like feel.
The pub had an old man with a cane nursing half a pint asleep at the bar: a real sign of quality. Whether he survived the renovation is, as yet, unrecorded.
