As many know, the Crescent is a cracking pub with many years in the good beer guide under its belt. In recent years it has gone off the boil a bit with various changes of management. However they've still got a wide variety of great beer. One of, if not the, best around. Our trip was a Friday lunchtime so the place was pretty busy, mostly with University staff. The beer was good, as ever. The only negatives were that the fire wasn't on and that the place is looking rather austere now rather than homely. The blank walls and no carpet may look cleaner, but they're not warmer and have unfortunate acoustic effects. The wall mounted widescreen tele?... well, say no more. But it was, thankfully, switched off. Great pub, that is hopefully re-finding its feet.

The back room has got carpet and the TV's usually off - much less austere, good news.
