Visited here on 31/5/22 and it was BRILLIANT. I got the club sandwich (attached image) for a mere £8.50, it was one of if not the nicest sandwiches I've had in a long time and it was a very large portion too. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to eat at whilst in Oxford.

The decor and ambience of the pub is excellent, with the staff trying very hard. Ordered food at 13.05 and was still waiting for food service at 14.30. When food arrived the quality was very good, though one item was incorrect. Management did sort out a refund which was a nice offer. Overall, I'd definitely recommend and visit again.

Well above average roast beef Sunday lunch on offer here. Makes a nice change from all the mediocrity on offer in Oxford. We'll be back! They don't let you run a tab without leaving your card behind the bar which is an unpleasant practice. Being a city centre venue I can understand this policy for walkins but we had booked for lunch. Makes it tricky to leave a tip for the serving staff.

Tradicional food in an historic pub just in town centre. Good food, great vibe. I have fish and chips. The portions are big, there are plenty of tables but was full went we visited so it would be advisable to book in advance for larger groups. Outdoors seats available.

Atmosphere and mood was good - Chequers has always been a favourite. The food and service were generally very good, however, one of the brisket burger eaters were concerned by it being a little 'sloppy' and the bun getting wet. Chicken pie was excellent. I would say that the tables were a little sticky (not dirty, but when varnish gets wet). Overall, we enjoyed our food and visit.

The pub in Oxford is good, the staff is friendly, good beer, the food is good but the quality is changing day by day. Quite a lot of space. Value for money is good. To recommend.

Old pub in the middle of Oxford. The pub grub style food was very tasty and reasonable value. The pub has a few different rooms and space outside. Sports screens every where. This is the third time here and it is a very popular pub and rightly so. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Really nice pub with a whole lot of history. The staff are extremely friendly and had a lovely welcome as we travelled 2 hours to try this lovely city out. The location is good, and even though I didn't have food, but the menu looked half decent.

Great pub. Great beer and really nice food. Staff were really friendly and even put the golf on the TV for me. Will definitely go again. Came here again on 21st May with my son. Very friendly staff again and excellent food and drink. Again, they put the cricket and golf on the TV for us again, without even batting an eyelid. Would definitely recommend this great pub to all. Rosie is very friendly and smiley and I wish all the pubs I visit were as good as this. Keep up the great work.

Cosy pub with a long history. Staff was friendly and the Fish'n Chips we ordered was tasty. The interior is nicely curated so it was fun just doing a little tour around the pub and look at the pictures on the wall. Particullarly liked the selection of old patents for things that probably never made the market.

A lovely little pub / bar which is hidden down an alley off the High Street. Serves food but we arrived a little late so the kitchen was closed. Loads of space in the bar area and the upstairs bar too. TVs so you can watch the sports news all weekend! Any bar with Jaipur on cask is a yes from me - and the Pinot Grigio wasn’t bad either!

Despite serving award winning pies, there was no food on that evening - no mention on their web site when I looked. Understandable since they were doing Christmas meals but then needed more than a notice on their door as you came in. Great beer and hope they serve meals next time.

One of the most delicious platters of sausages and mash I've had altogether! Definitely can recommend, the atmosphere is great as well.

Nice average pub in Oxford, clean and various seats. Good location. The drinks are good. The staff have a bit of an attitude, hence why I wouldn’t give it five stars.

Very chilled lovely pub with a decent selection of drinks, all went south when my £18.50 beef pie arrived with veg (peas, carrot,green beans) and mash which were warm at best, pie was steaming though and full of....peas, plenty meat to be fair but very bland, I don't leave food but this I gave up on halfway through. I'd definitely call in for a pint again but on this experience wouldn't bother with the "chain pub" food

I enjoyed their burger and calamari. I sat on the first floor with my team and there was no cellphone network there. It was a bit uncomfortable to be disconnected from the mobile network for about two hours. I don't know if it is within the restaurant's control but it does affect the overall experience.

Great historical pub. Went for the steak and ale pie with mash and vegetables with a pint of Nicholsons Pale Ale which didn't disappoint. Large atmospheric rooms and outside courtyards, well worth a visit. Service could not be faulted top marks.

Place with great history and the decor to highlight the same. Great vibes at this place. But for my choice, the cider ‘Rosie’s pig’ was not that great. Worth an experience though.

Great pub and had such a nice time there. I really liked the atmosphere and the art work and selection of board games were a really nice touch. Bar staff were friendly and on top of clearing away our finished glasses and plates. Really great place to go out to!!

Came here for a quick drink one evening during the week. It was a little crowded and struggled to find a seat inside, but there is more seating across the alley - we had a great evening nonetheless. The selection of beers and ales was good and the bar staff were friendly.

Lovely old laneway pub, keeps with bones of original building being one room deep. Provides a great atmosphere with plenty of seating options. A must if you are looking for a pint!

Beautiful place with absolutely lovely staff and a wonderful historic atmosphere. However, the cobbles make it a little difficult to navigate, and it's incredibly expensive for a non-local (drinks average around £10.) This being said, though, both the food and drinks are good quality and taste incredible. I can see why they're so pricey.

We called in on a Monday night hoping to have a good meal, it was quite. Choice of ales consists mainly of light IPA's. After reviewing the menu we made our selection, I went for the lamb shank pie, which was just about ok, veg was not very hot, even the gravy was just warm, the lamb was not great, given their tag line World famous not brilliant. The wife asked for the fish cakes with new potatoes, when it came out no potatoes, when they brought them out, they were crushed and not very good either. Would not rush back.

Atmospheric historic pub tucked away down an alleyway off the High Street. Much larger than you might expect as you approach, with a downstairs and upstairs bar and also quite a lot of covered outside seating. Good range of 6 or 7 real ales. We went on a Wednesday lunchtime and it was very quiet. Food was good and served pretty quickly. Try the nourish bowl salad which was very tasty,.

It's fine, although I must have visited at a bad time as we all had our meals at different times and I was waiting an hour for mine. We were told that the kitchen was "backed up" which wasn't very reassuring. Another member of our party didn't even get their meal. Although we had a good evening, I'm unlikely to return purely down to the experience waiting for food. We didn't attend on the day of the half marathon - it was on the Friday.

Food - ok, fast. Beer from the order got to the table in 20 minutes after food. Dead insects on the cans and inside the glasses

Plenty of choice for ale fans, a recent refurbishment has enhanced the venue, interior is dark on the ground floor, the upper floors are predominantly for dining, the courtyard is well used and offers a nice backdrop to the pub
