The Lamb and Flag used to be one of the few pubs in Oxford that hadn't been tarted up - I haven't been in there for years so I don't know if the campaign to preserve its authentic charm succeeded but it used to be favourite haunt. It is just across St Giles' from The Bird and Baby. You may recognise it from Inspector Morse.

My father and sister visited the Royal Blenheim on St Ebbes earlier in the year and report good food, real ale and a genial host. But that is not so handy for LMH.
