While in Oxford, we checked out the town's oldest pub: The Turf Tavern. It wasn't like any of the pubs we had been to before, it had more of a restaurant feel with plenty of outdoor seating and excellent customer service. The food was great and the pitchers of Pimms were even better. The first thing that I noticed when we got to the tavern were the beautiful hand lettered chalkboard signs outside the door. One was for Gin & Tonic and the other was for Pimms, the theme was 'The A-Z of Summer'. They were beautifully done and the emphasis was on the capital letters which they had added color and doodles to. They used the same typefaces on both signs so they looked nice standing next to each other but they were still quite different. They were eye catching and everyone stopped to take pictures of them so it was a job well done!
