Details

A welcoming haven for plant-based food enthusiasts, The Gardeners Arms on Plantation Road proudly stands as Oxford's only entirely vegetarian and vegan pub. Since 2003, its kitchen has been dedicated to crafting hearty, flavourful dishes that appeal to everyone, disproving any notion that vegetarian fare can't be satisfying pub grub. Imagine tucking into a medley mushroom pie with a rich sage and red wine gravy, a spicy Mexican chilli, or choosing from an inventive array of burgers and flatbread calzones. Many dishes are vegan or can be easily adapted, ensuring a wealth of choice. The pub’s commitment to quality and taste has even earned it recognition as one of the UK's best vegetarian/vegan pubs.

Step inside this 200-year-old establishment and you'll find a traditional pub atmosphere, complete with wood panelling and a cosy, intimate feel, thankfully unspoiled by fleeting trends. Out back, a large, grassy patio offers a rare green oasis in the city for enjoying a pint and a meal when the weather is kind – it's noted as the only pub in Oxford with a grass lawn in its beer garden. This dog-friendly pub also fosters a real sense of community, with events like the popular Sunday night quiz bringing people together. Whether you're seeking a delicious meat-free meal, a fine ale, or simply a friendly spot to relax, this cherished local provides a unique and welcoming Oxford experience.

Excellent pub with great beer and a lovely, fresh, good value menu. I came here with my family as we were in the area looking for lunch. We are not veggie or vegan, we were delighted with our lunch.
