A quintessential thatched roof and inviting Cotswold stone exterior signal your arrival at The Talkhouse in the picturesque village of Stanton St. John, just a short drive from Oxford. Inside, exposed wooden beams and the warmth of log fires in winter create a wonderfully cosy and comforting atmosphere, perfect for settling in with a well-kept pint – the pub has even been awarded for its exceptional cellar standards. Whether you're seeking a relaxed pint by the fire or a comfortable spot on the garden patio during warmer months, this upmarket country pub offers a welcoming retreat with a history of providing friendly service and a chance to chat with locals.
The Talkhouse prides itself on a menu that showcases fresh, locally sourced produce, blending traditional British pub classics with international flavours. Diners can anticipate a straightforward pub grub offering at lunchtime, which then blossoms into a more extensive Mediterranean-influenced gastropub à la carte menu for evening meals and popular Sunday lunches. For those looking to extend their visit, The Talkhouse also offers a number of characterful en-suite double rooms, some with views over the city of Oxford, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby attractions.
