A cornerstone of St Aldate's street, this traditional Victorian pub sits invitingly just a stone's throw from Carfax Tower and the High Street, placing it squarely in the heart of Oxford. It’s an independent free house priding itself on a superb range of local cask ales, often featuring at least two from local breweries, and is accredited by both Cask Marque and CAMRA LocAle. Alongside a rotating selection of craft beers and an impressive choice of wines and spirits, they serve freshly cooked, homemade food daily. The menu boasts tempting vegetarian and vegan options alongside hearty pub classics, small plates, and generous sharing 'Bar Boards', with their Sunday roasts reputed to be among Oxford's best. Families, locals, students, tourists, and even well-behaved dogs find a warm welcome here.
