A POPULAR city centre pizza pub could be set for new beer garden.

The White Rabbit pub has been given planning permission to build a garden area into the existing car park in Friars Entry.

It would extend as far as The Red Lion's pub garden opposite and take up around half of the current car park space next to the rear door of Oxford Playhouse.

The pub has applied to add a door to enabled access to the beer garden from inside.

Eight parking spaces will remain.
