The Wykeham was a regular haunt for me back in the early years of the current millennium. Even then the place's heyday was already long gone following the departure of the much-loved original landlord, but enough of the character remained to draw the old crowd in.

The intervening years have resulted in a blander, more upmarket place, though judged against the standards of your average tied pub it's still decent: competent staff, reasonable beer and at least there's no music.

I recently went for dinner which again was unexceptionable if unexceptional. Somewhat overpriced and over ambitious but no moreso than your average pub really.



It remains a classic pub of the city, but sadly diminished with age.
