The Slow & Steady

Head down Abingdon Road towards the river and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually feels like it belongs to the people who drink there. The Slow & Steady isn't performing 'pub-ness'—it just is one. You'll spot students nursing pints alongside locals who've been coming here for years, all coexisting without fuss. The sort of place where you can sit for three hours over a couple of drinks without feeling any pressure to order another round or move along.
