A pub located in the heart of Oxford

Our old-world pub perfectly blends tradition with contemporary comfort, making it a cherished spot for locals and visitors alike.

We’ve been making memories since 1656 – and we’re still the place to be for all of life’s unforgettable moments (whether pre-planned or wonderfully spontaneous).

Pop in for a quick drink at the bar, settle in for an afternoon of people-watching on the terrace, or tuck into a meal shared with your favourite people.

Serving up the best dining in Oxford,  from lunch and dinner to seasonal specials and proper British Sunday roasts, there’s always something worth savouring.

Vicky and the team look forward to welcoming you soon.

Christmas Dining

Join us throughout December for festive feasts, Christmas parties, and plenty of cheer. Whether it’s a big office bash, a cosy get-together with friends, or a relaxed family celebration, our menus are packed with hearty seasonal dishes and all the trimmings.

And for the big day itself? Let us do the cooking this Christmas Day. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a proper festive feast with none of the washing up – just great food, great company, and a glass (or two) of something special.

Charming Oxford Pub

Located in the centre of Oxford, just a stone’s throw from New Theatre Oxford, and a short stroll from the Ashmolean Museum and Oxford University colleges, we’re perfectly placed for everything from a pre-show dinner to a post-performance tipple.

Whether you’re soaking up the city’s history, exploring the bustling streets of Cornmarket and Broad Street, or simply watching the world go by, we’re your go-to spot to relax, refuel, and raise a glass in true Oxford style.

Parties and Events

Whatever the occasion – from big birthday bashes and work dos to festive get-togethers and everything in between – we know how to throw a proper party.

Our cosy pub spaces are perfect for mingling, feasting, and raising a glass (or two). Whether you’re planning a relaxed catch-up with friends, a full-blown celebration, or your office Christmas party, we’ve got the food, drink, and atmosphere to make it one to remember.

Looking for something more private? Our upstairs spaces can be hired exclusively, complete with your own bar and all the trimmings.

Winter Cocktails

From mulled wine poured straight from the urn to a warming Negroni or a smooth Espresso Martini, our winter serves are made for chilly days and cosy nights.

Dog Friendly

As a dog friendly pub in Oxford, our team are always delighted to meet your four-legged friends. Dogs are welcome downstairs in the pub area and on the terrace.

Supporting Local

The cheeses you find on our menu are proudly sourced from Oxford Cheese Company located  in the Covered Market. Just 3 minutes walk from the pub!
