It is popular with beer drinkers and foodies.

Its website says: "Our Head Chef Barry has a passion for putting an interesting and modern twist on quintessentially British dishes.
"His menu is perfectly engineered to take you through the day, providing you with everything you need to keep yourself going, at the highest quality using local and seasonal produce.
"Our pub is spot-on for any dining occasion; From a light lunch midweek, hearty evening dinners, succulent meat on Sunday’s, and every gorgeous mouthful in-between."
The pub is rated four out of five on Tripadvisor but one recent visitor gave it five stars, saying: "Great friendly service, great food and drinks.
"A traditional, popular and well-run pub with daily menus. Booking tables advisable at weekends."
Also in the top five are:
2: The City Arms in Cowley Road
The Plough now has permission for tables and chairs outside its entrance in Cornmarket and also in St Michael's Street.
The new seating was introduced after the pub's owners were granted a pavement licence by the city council.
"The licences are granted under the pavement licensing system introduced during Covid by the Business and Planning Act.
"They aren’t permanent, and new licences must be applied for after they expire.
"Currently all pavement licences can only last for a maximum of one year.
"If we receive a complaint, we will investigate and take appropriate action where it is reasonable and necessary to do so."
The Plough Inn has a four out of five star rating on Tripadvisor.
One visitor from Bristol last month gave it a five-star review.
"Saturday night and everywhere else in central Oxford was rammed - not a table to be had the length of George Street, so we sauntered round the corner and came across The Plough Inn which had tables free, a mixed and relaxed clientele and staff that couldn't have been more welcoming.
"There is table service, a good and varied menu with pub food classics and more but we ordered the house speciality - a unique fourteen inch square pizza that is claimed, quite rightly as it turned out, to be enough for 2-4 people. What a treat, delicious, perfectly cooked and served in a wooden box lined with a metal tray. Such fun, a superb couples or date night meal and fantastic value. Thank you all at The Plough. Highly recommended."
