A favourite in the heart of Oxford

Sitting in the heart of Oxford, The Plough has seen a fair bit over the years – once part of the city’s historic fashion trade, and now a much-loved local for good food, great drinks and easy-going catch-ups.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick pint, settling in for lunch, or stretching out a sunny afternoon on the terrace, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to.

From seasonal dishes and proper pub classics to Sunday roasts worth slowing down for, there’s always something on the menu to tempt you. Behind the bar, you’ll find a great selection of ales, wines and cocktails to match.

With Vicky and the team ready to welcome you, all that’s left to do is pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Pre-Theatre Dining & Drinks in the Heart of Oxford

Looking for the perfect spot for pre-theatre drinks in Oxford or a relaxed meal in the city centre? Situated in the heart of Oxford, The Plough is ideally placed for dining before a show, catching up with friends, or enjoying drinks before a night out.

Whether you’re searching for pre-theatre dining in Oxford, a welcoming pub near Oxford theatres, or a place to unwind after work, The Plough offers great food, a well-stocked bar, and a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Relax, settle in, and enjoy one of Oxford’s favourite spots for food, drinks, and memorable moments.

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.

Watch Women's Six Nations in Oxford

Rugby, proper pints, and plates piled high with the good stuff.

The Women’s Six Nations is here, and there’s no better place to watch it than right here at The Plough.

Expect big moments on screen, great food on the table, and a proper pub atmosphere from first whistle to last (as it should be).

Watch the World Cup 2026 in Oxford

Join us at the Plough Inn as the world’s biggest football tournament takes centre stage this summer. We’ll be showing all England matches live, plus the crucial knock-out games as the drama unfolds.

Expect cold pints, great food and a pub full of fans living every moment together. If history happens, you’ll want to say you watched it here.
Walk-ins are welcome, but the best tables won’t hang around for long – booking ahead is strongly recommended.

Could this be our 1966?

Summer Spritz

With a full line up of seriously good sunshine-sips on the menu, from punchy picantes to raspberry & floral rose. Best served post Oxford shopping spree (bags down, spritz up).

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.
