Local Hook Norton brewery ales flow freely at The Castle, a welcoming pub on Paradise Street that has been serving Oxford since 1892. This historic establishment, with its distinctive mock-Tudor architecture and traditional Victorian interior, offers a cosy retreat just a stone's throw from the bustling Westgate Centre. Here, you can savour a pint of finely kept cask ale from the renowned independent brewery, perhaps alongside their popular "Hooky" beer-battered cod and chips or a freshly made pizza. The friendly atmosphere and commitment to quality have made it a cherished spot, especially since Hook Norton took the helm in 2017 and reinstated its historic name, "The Castle Tavern".
Beyond the comforting pub fare and excellent local beers, The Castle also offers a slice of Oxford's social life with occasional live music and comedy nights. It's a place where both locals and visitors can unwind, enjoy good company, and experience genuine pub culture. Whether you're seeking a hearty meal after a day of exploring, a refreshing pint of Cotswold-brewed ale, or simply a warm and inviting pub atmosphere, The Castle on Paradise Street provides a quintessential Oxford experience. Its convenient location near the city centre and historical charm make it an easy and rewarding stop.
