Details

Steeped in history, with tales of King George III seeking shelter during a storm, The Royal Sun in Begbroke offers a distinctive experience just off the Woodstock Road. Its charming, beamed interior, complete with a vintage-style bar and roaring fireplaces in cooler weather, evokes the feel of a traditional traveller's rest. During warmer months, the lovely enclosed garden, surrounded by an old stone wall and filled with wooden benches, provides a relaxing rural escape. Licensed since the 17th century, this pub has seen many chapters, and its current iteration aims to provide a welcoming hub for both locals and visitors exploring the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside, with dogs also welcome in the garden.

The Royal Sun now features a 'Fusion Kitchen' under the management of Aziz, blending Indian cuisine with some classic pub offerings. Diners can expect a menu inspired by the award-winning Aziz brand, using high-quality ingredients. While the original description mentions a varied menu and Sunday carveries, recent information points towards a focus on Indian dishes like chicken madras and lamb shanks, alongside options such as burgers. They also promote special offers like midweek set meals and a Fish Fry-Day. For drinks, a selection of cask ales, wines, and other beverages are available to complement your meal or to be enjoyed on their own. The pub also hosts a quiz night every other Thursday, adding a lively element to its offerings.
