"Sir, would you look at that!?!"

"I know, Lewis, another bloody plastic lager station."

As of April 2005, all the pubs in Oxford and a few close surrounding villages have been reviewed!
Any exclusions are humbly apologised for and you can rest assured I will endeavour my hardest to rectify the situation. The opinions expressed here are purely my own, I work for no reviewing company, etc., and expect many people, especially people who run the pubs, to disagree with me. All comments and reviews are welcome, at the above address. The definition of what is a "pub" is also my own, and I will be extending this further with time to exclude other bars. For links and some of the terminology used in the guide, see the Oxford Pub Guide terminology.
