Review from tantallon.org.uk:

Morrells Oxford GBP 1.76 Bulmer's Strongbow Dry Cider GBP 2.06 Wheat Crunchies 40 p Bar billiards. This is the chief thing to recommend the pub. Aside from this, it's light, sparse, stone-floored, airy, with a surprisingly small amount of seating considering that you can't move for tripping over chairs. There was darts being played in here on a Wednesday night in January as well. Morrells Oxford is the sole real ale on tap. The last time I saw anyone with a haircut like the barman was Trevor Eve when he had it long. At least, I'm assuming he had it long when he was in Shoestring. The snacks on sale are Wheat Crunchies and cockles in vinegar in wee bags. I've never seen the latter before, and didn't dare try them. (6.i.1999)
