The New Oxford

Salford's flagship real ale pub, on Bexley Square by the old town hall. Eleven handpumps, two regulars and nine that change, twenty-odd keg fonts and more than fifty Belgian bottles. It has won more CAMRA awards than it has room to hang.

Step-free in via the back, an accessible toilet, a yard out front and a quiz. If you only do one Salford pub, do this one.
