Nestled on Osney Island, a short distance from Oxford railway station, the Holly Bush Inn offers a welcoming atmosphere at 106 Bridge Street. This historic pub, originally established around 1853 as the Bush and Railway Inn, combines traditional charm with modern comforts. It's known for serving freshly made artisan pizzas and a range of beers, including brews from Brewpoint in Bedford. The pub boasts a lovely beer garden, perfect for sunny afternoons, and provides a cosy interior for cooler days. With a history that includes hosting inquests in the 19th century and even an early gig by Radiohead, the Holly Bush has long been a fixture in the community. It was significantly renovated and reopened in October 2019 under the management of Wells & Co.
