This is one of my favourite pubs in Oxford, simply because of the variety and quality of real ales. The staff really know how to look after beer and you never get a bad pint here. Also, due to it being a free house, Far From The Madding Crowd is free from the bland big brand "real ale". In fact, I have tasted some rather exciting ales from relatively unknown microbreweries here. Because of its layout, this isn't the most atmospheric of pubs but the quality of the beer and the friendliness of the staff compensates for this.
dralbion, 24/08/09 Enjoying a bit of a rejuvenation is this pleasant pub; new landlord very friendly, and the Swanvale cider is what keeps me coming back for those cheeky halves when town is proving hectic... it does exactly what it says on the tin. Well done guys! 20/08/08 Great ales! Always new ales to try and the free testers make it much clearer to pick great ales. One of a dying breed of pubs that aren’t owned by a faceless brewery. Great friendly staff, a great pub to have a peaceful drink in and the free Wifi is fast and very handy. james, 09/08/08 This reincarnation of the much-loved spirit of Jericho's Jude the Obscure pub has an arts emphasis, nearly half the venue being exhibition space. Spacious and open, with large glass frontage. Friendly staff, some live music and even student theatre previews. Jack, 19/07/05
