Hi Bartman.

Im from Abingdon & play for the cross keys i will give you some places that you could try.... smile

Obviously i dont know where in Abingdon you work but here are some places to try & see what you think?

I will start with my pub

Cross Keys (Ock st)

Food - Yes & reasonably priced
Pool Table - not bad, small, clean & well looked after 50p a game but there are two pillars that can get in the way depending where you leave the white but even then they only just hamper a shot biggrin

Oracle Snooker Club (Stert Street)

Food - Not really just toasties,crisp ect but you could always take your lunch up there?
Pool Tables - 6 infact i think? reasonable condition, some roll but not that bad, payment is on the light about £5 an hour, in the day your definatly get a table to
yourself.

Crown & Thistle Pub (Stocks bar) Bridge Street

Food - not sure but it has a resturant so i'd imagine they do.
Pool table - Not sure on this one not played there for a while but you could check it out.

Other pubs with pool tables but not sure if they all do food:

Fitzharris Arms (Thornhill walk off wootton road) 1 pool table
Midget sports bar (Preston road) 3 pool tables
Boundary House pub (Oxford Road) 1 pool table & definatly cheap food.

Hopefully that helps mate any Questions give me a buzz biggrin biggrin

Oracle Snooker Club (Stert Street) - on Stratton Way actually above Coxeters
