    Excellent

    A gastro pub with a big beer garden out the back, so good in the summer. There is an accessible entrance but you'll have to find some way of alerting the staff to open it when it's cold and the back gate to the beer garden is closed. There are not many accessible pubs in Oxford, so it is worth mentioning. It is nice inside with some inaccessible bits if you are a wheelchair user. Food is nice but I have waited a long time in the past. The bar and restaurant are wheelchair accessible.

    Access is good in the summer when the back gates to the beer garden are open. There is an accessible entrance at the front but this is opened from the inside, so take a phone number or get someone to alert the bar staff to your presence when it's cold if you need it.

    No parking at the venue but there are on road disabled bays on nearby Beaumont Street and New Inn Hall Street and you can park in resident's only bays in Oxford if you have a blue badge.

    Accessible Toilets

    Good

    There is one and it's big enough with handrails but you need to use a radar key, which they have behind the bar if you don't have one. I didn't check it this time but the lock was broken last summer for some time.
