A POPULAR pizza shack will be housed outside a pub for at least another year.
West Oxfordshire District Councillors granted 12 months of planning permission to the shack and oven at The Queen's Head, in Queen Street, Eynsham, on Monday.
The landlord, Mark Crocker, told the meeting the pizza oven and takeaway service was 'integral' to the business, while 206 people signed a petition to keep the oven.
