Lovely neighbourhood pub! The margaritas were on offer, so we had two of those for our dinner - crispy chicken burger w fries and tacos (three different fillings: pulled pork, fish, vegetables). Seating both indoors and outside (front and back garden)

Barman Toby was sound and has the gift of the gab :), the owner was a gent let us have a pizza out the front when the kitchen closed and also had good taste in Irish stout. Great spot 🤝

Went in with a query and the barman and the manager were both incredibly friendly and helpful. Great pint of Camden stout, which I find better than Guinness. Also had a scotch egg and it was incredible - the best I have ever tasted, crispy crumb with what seemed like a quail's egg inside, which left space for the thickest later of gorgeous well-sessoned meat - worth the 5 stars alone!

A lovely pub with seating out the front & an enclosed back garden. Great for families. The atmosphere in the garden was fabulous, it was like a kindergarten. But if you don't want to be around kids there's plenty room inside & out front. I had a cup of chips for £4. They were delicious & just enough. The food I saw other people eating looked delicious.

An extremely busy Sunday for TJP which made for an absolutely fun filled afternoon what with the choice of roasts and the eclectic vinyl selection spun by Oxford's very own formidable SkyLarkin.

It's advisable to get there early or better still reserve a table to avoid disappointment.

Looking forward to the next Rocksteady Roast always on the last Sunday of the month 😋

Thank you so much for the excellent service from Louis, Mo and all the team 💙

Unfortunately the pictures featured here do not align with the review of .y recent visits.
I'm not sure why Google maps have got it very wrong 🤔

I'm looking forward to updating my post on my next eagerly anticipated visit to the JP for the upcoming Rocksteady Roast later this month 😋

Went for a drink tonight. The place was busy but really cold. People were sitting drinking in their coats. Lighting way too bright. Not a welcoming cosy atmosphere …turn the heating up!

Cute little pub out of the way doing Sunday roasts and with wheelchair access. Has board games near the door.

Dog friendly.

Staff are down to earth and helpful and compliant with pretty much anything. It was nice to get a normal roast dinner. See photos.

So there's a ramp by the back door. The landlord is laidback. The pub is quiet enough for autistic people to easily use though there appears to be a dukebox on the other side with poor acoustics, the pub is L shaped so it shouldn't matter.

The back gardens space was lovely and felt not busy even on friday evening which was nice! The kitchen is still closed so cannot rate the food from the pub but there was an amazing japanese van so that deserves a 5 but since its not affiliated to the pub it is 3 for now. The service was ok but looked like they needed more people in service since there were only two of them. Drinks stocks also looked quite low and wish there was a menu for drinks since that was missing. The pims half pint was £7.5 which was a bit steep and wish they checked if i wanted single of double shot since buying pims outside could coat me £15 per bottle. Overall it was lovely and felt relaxing environment but I think there is room for improvement.

What a wonderful pub! I've been coming here for a few years and the new owners have made a fantastic job of creating a welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere with great food, great drinks and brilliant staff to match. We had a birthday party and everyone commented on how lovely the pub was. I'll be back very soon!
