There’s a pub for sale in Headington. I guessed it might be the White Horse on the London Road, but local tweeters have suggested the Quarry Gate, Britannia, and Royal Standard. So as a service to the community I’ve summarised all the information on the sale advertisement (it appears on at least 2 websites) for you to tick off the features. Which pub gives the best fit (allowing for the agents’ hyperbole)?

@alisonhogarth tells me that neither the Britannia or the Royal Standard have pool tables, which seems to rule them out.
