Details

Nestled in the charming North Hinksey Village, just a stone's throw from Oxford, The Fishes presents an imposing Victorian building set within acres of its own wooded grounds leading down to the picturesque Seacourt Stream. This gastropub offers more than just a meal; it's a delightful escape where you can enjoy views across the Oxfordshire countryside from the decking that wraps around the smart conservatory, or find a spot on the extensive garden bench seating. Inside, the deceptively spacious interior reveals a series of connecting spaces, from a cosy bar area perfect for a casual drink, to the main restaurant and conservatory for a more formal dining experience. Known for its quality food and drink, The Fishes has built a strong local reputation over many years.

Families will find The Fishes particularly welcoming, with ample open spaces for children to explore and play. While there isn't a specific children's menu, younger diners are well catered for with smaller portions or simpler versions of dishes from the main menu, which focuses on fresh, seasonal British ingredients, including free-range meat and carefully sourced fish. The pub also boasts an impressive covered Tipi BBQ area and an iconic silver Burger van, adding to its unique charm, particularly in warmer months. Whether you're stopping by after a countryside ramble (muddy wellies and dogs are welcome in The Snug and bar area) or looking for a special spot for Sunday lunch, The Fishes offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere with attentive service. They also feature an unusually strong gluten-free menu and cater well to various dietary needs.

We had a wonderful experience at this cozy outdoor sitting area. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed meal, and we enjoyed the crisp autumn air. We tried several dishes from the autumn menu, and everything was absolutely delicious. Each dish was flavorful and well-seasoned, capturing the essence of the season. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a comfortable dining experience with great food!
