Frommer's Staff

For good pub grub (sandwiches, beef pie, chili con carne, salads, soups) or a pint of beer, try this old favorite. Dating to the 13th century, the tavern has served the likes of Thomas Hardy, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and Bill Clinton, who was a frequent visitor during his student days at Oxford.
