Birdcage Inn Thame in South Oxfordshire

Came in for a £6 skittles bomb it didn't even have much alcohol in it with it being triple sec 20 % and redball I'm sure it's normally Cointreau 40% and red bull. We couldn't even taste the alcohol so we left 😂

Very nice but kitchen very small so wait can be 20 mins atleast. But nice staff and nice all round pub.kids liked the food too

Friday night is best, good pub grub and a DJ to finish off the night Love it.

Good food, good bar staff, nice cold fizzy beer and a lovely environment!

Thank you very much to the staff at Birdcage, had a lovely Mother's day lunch with the family. Service was excellent, helpful and friendly.

Myself and daughter went out for lunch, at the birdcage today, the food was amazing got served by Connor very friendly and welcoming lad.

Ideal place to have a bite to eat. They've expanded their menu from just pizza & pies. You can now also get lasagne, scampi, onion rings, chicken tikka, sausage and mash and much more too! Very cheap compared to other places in Thame. Karaoke on a Thursday evening with Adam is also a blast! Being gluten-free as well it was easy to find something I could have. All staff are very accommodating as well. They allowed my nan, who's in a wheelchair, to come through the fire exit round the back as there are steps up to both main entrances of the pub. Will certainly return this Saturday for the DJ night!

We went to this pub late at night as it was the only one open till 2am. Really lively with music from a DJ, a friendly crowd and excellent service from the staff. Highly recommend visiting this pub.

table top was filthy with something very sticky so easy to become attached to this pub. Had all the charm of a morgue so managed to tear ourselsves free.

Quick Saturday lunchtime pint - decent brew (after returning the first option as being sour)...not at all crowded , welcomed by regulars...would go more often if I lived closer

Visited last Tuesday and was really pleased we popped in. Met at the bar by a very helpful lady, (I believe called Lynda) who looked after us well. Enjoyed a lovely pizza and refreshing glass of wine. Will definitely be back soon! Thank you

Very rude staff, rough people. Avoid! Much better places to go to in Thame!

Oldest pub dating back to 1300 in Thame, brilliant for our group

Caitlin behind the bar was lovely and the drinks where very enjoyable. Not the cheapest drinks in town but great vibe and their food is based on homemade pies which they call the Pieminster Pies. Nice pub great attitude happy to recommend.

Didn't have food But it was a great atmosphere 👌

nice staff good drinks good food, quiz night with michelle is a blast

On karaoke nights the atmosphere is amazing.

Had a great weekend in Thame. Friday night music and dancing followed by the cup final on Sunday. Both visits were relaxed, friendly and I really enjoyed this pub. Had a beautiful cocktail and a tasty pizza which really hit the spot. Will definitely be visiting again!

Great atmosphere and delicious pizzas. Will be back

Amazing place steeped in history

Good mid town pub, serves food, more old style, than some of the other pubs, kinda "old style boozer"... Always a warm welcome! Check out their pizzas and pies...!

Solid time, solid quiz, solid bartender. Shout out Kae😝

Sophie the bartender is such a legend.

Had amazing night at the birdcage, Kae is da bomb 🤪🤪🤪

Had a great night out on Saturday night at the birdcage, live DJ was a blast and the staff gave fab service! Defo be returning for another night out👍

Smashing pub and lovely service from Josh, thank you!

Me and my wife come in with our dog every Friday and Sunday with our dog and the bar staff are amazing. We often spend our afternoon with Will behind the bar. All the team are warm and welcoming as well as having fantastic beer.

Lovely place and really friendly staff 🙂

Small but intimate venue great staff despite being busy quick and attentive highly recommended for a few drinks

If you want a great pie.... Then this is your place to go .

Great laugh on Thursday night with karaoke

Lovely little pub...popped in on new year's eve and got lovely service and really enjoyed the dj and the music. Will definitely be back!

I visted Thursday 22nd December, to be met with friendly faces behind the bar thats fully stocked with gin, whiskey, brandys and beers a plenty. The selection of lillies still cider is AMAZING and the only place in thame to sell such a cider. Thursday night consisted of karaoke hosted by Adam, there is such a varied mixture of musical talent its amazing. Would highly recommended a thursday if you fancy a chilled night and a bit of a sing song. Will definitely be back.

This is my 2nd home, I'm often making a nob of myself at the birdy, I love coming down and having a perv at the bar staff (male and female). Lovely beer and urinal cakes as well as a fantastic atmosphere

Fun and cosy pub with super friendly and welcoming staff. Always something fun going on, whether it’s the pub quiz or karaoke. Definitely worth stopping in for a drink and some good food!

The Birdcage: absolutely the GOAT of Thame pubs, some of the best vibes you can find in town, amazing staff who go above and beyond with some great weekly events. Karaoke and the quiz are always the best nights here, and Michelle has done a great job of turning it into the place to be in Thame. Don't skip out on The Birdcage.

Quality beer selection, lovely to see that they have the Lilleys ciders in as well, friendly staff - Sophie took great care of us when we last visited and always a great atmosphere!

What a lovely little pub in the heart of Thame. We loved the pizzas and the great selection of drinks on offer. Nothing better to sit in the garden and enjoy a bit sun.

If pubs like the Birdcage ever vanish then the very fabric of English society is under threat!

Best pub in Thame by far, drinks are reasonably priced and the bar staff are really friendly and always make us feel welcome.

Well the food is good, the service is quick and friendly, the Friday night music is extremely well done, So I guess I will be their next Friday.

If I could give zero stars I would. Management is extremely poor. They have no respect for loyal customers. My girlfriend spent £30 on shots was trying to leave the bar when an extremely drunk individual knocked her tray a few meters from the bar.. at no point before hand did the staff offer to carry the tray for her.. I myself have been a customer of the birdcage for atleast twice a month for the past 18 years... I've seen many owners of the birdcage and the current owner (hair dyed blue) is a complete tool. You would think management would try resolve the issue for it not to escalate further.. Upon speaking to management I was told by the current owner of the pub that they could not do anything because it was not a member of staff that was carrying the tray. Edit (update) The shots were never replaced by the "Patron" he was so drunk he didn't realise what he had done.

Lovely night out, good music and outstanding bar staff, certainly worth going to

Lovely place to sit outside and people watch on a sunny sunday in great company with a bottle of fizz..

Busy place, I was at the music festival

The Friday night DJ is amazing it's the only time I go in there and I come from Aylesbury to get there. Don't know his name he a just some huge guy with dreadlocks who be DJing at festivals and big clubs this guy can mix anything and make it sound good

Great pub, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely pub, bar staff were super efficient, I was served in a jiffy and very friendly to boot, we sat outside in the sun, couldn't ask for much more

Beautiful pub! Staff are always so friendly! Lovely outside area for soaking up the sunshine! They’ve got plenty going on this week for the jubilee can’t wait to head down there and join in the fun!!

Staff are very friendly and cheap drinks

Nice pub, friendly staff, but prices higher than I am used to back home in Essex. Doombar normally £2.20 a pint was £4.25.

Excellent bar staff and outstanding atmosphere

Recently I spent a very pleasant few hours here with my Mum, where there was a mix of locals and visitors. Mum is in a wheelchair and the staff were accommodating and made accessibility easy, via a staff entrance. The manager and team members are lovely - friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful. The pub is cosy, comfortable and clean, and the outside area is spacious and well laid out. Strongly recommended 👍🏼

Great little place, stopped off and had pizza and chips and a soft drink. Friendly staff. Will return.

Great food and a great pub in the centre of Thame would definitely recommend it for food drink and hospitality. My mum and me had the chicken leek ham and thyme pies with mash and peas. Absolutely fantastic. The pies were thick with lovely filling and the pastry was just crunchy and very tasty. Elle was amazing. She served us and cooked the lunch. Very friendly and great service. Thank you. Will definitely be back

The landlady is very I was banned and she let me back in

Went along for the quiz night last Thursday with a few mates the atmosphere and staff were amazing and the food was so good I will definitely be back.

Great pub, lovely team and great manager

My wife adnd I popped in for a drink after an afternoon of shopping, we got a warm welcome from all of the team. I tried the guest ale piffle snonker, what a great pint. The wife had a gin and lemonade, so many to choose from the young lady behind the bar was very knowledgeable on what she recommended. Will be going back when we are next in town

What a great pub, very warm and welcoming. The food looks amazing and smells really good. Il try the moonless pie next time I'm in

Visited on St. Patricks day and it was very well decorated and welcoming. Staff were extremely kind. The food was sublime and also great value for money. Very cosy pub and definitely worth a visit 👏🍀

Nice pub, nice people, just to expensive for me 🙁

A great birthday celebration, wonderful food the guys really looked after all of us we look forward to returning again tomorrow. many thanks for a great day.

Nice friendly service and great place to meet up. Was a shame that we all had to have soft drinks because we all drove to get here. Staff very helpful and the place was nice and clean. We had all eaten so was only drinks today.

Cosy. Wish they expanded on food.

Little gem, new manager has done a great job. Will be back soon.

Amazing food served by Michelle will be back

Amazing food served by michelle will be back again

Lovely old worldly pub nice food

I enjoyed a really nice afternoon at this lovely little place, the staff were really friendly and they all knew the menu well as I asked what they’d recommend. The pie was delicious, really flavoursome and nicely presented. My sister had a pizza and said it was really tasty, looked really good too. I highly recommend popping in to this lovely little place, I’m definitely coming back!

Stayed nearby and visited Thame for a walk around the village and popped into the Birdcage for a drink was a lovely pub good range of drinks and very friendly place, will visit again when we are nearby again

Lovely pub, very friendly staff. A great night had by all.

Great customer service, amazing handling techniques and just an all round perfect pub with amazing staff

Food was absolutely lovely! Good drinks. The manager lady seemed really nice too. Nice place to visit can recommend

came in earlier for a quick pint and a bite to eat, after seeing the decorations going up for the 6 nations cant help but want to come back once it starts. fantastic atmosphere and family friendly too, as well as the staff being friendly and very swift service, will definitely be returning soon!

Great pub! Well run by Michelle and crew!!

Fabulous lunch (The pies are amazing!) Friendly service in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Will be back!

Try getting a drink in this dump,run down service poor...Happy to say was in this pub on Saturday 15th and much improved on my last visit...3 🌟..thanks

It's a pub that does good pie and mash with friendly service

Lovely town pub with happy staff

Friendly atmosphere. Manager super plus guy. Went out his way to accommodate a late dinner request. Def going back.

We only had a drink here. The barmaid was completely unaware of her bar. We ordered a local cider and were told that the flavour was not available but the rest are available. We ordered a different one to be told after her disappearing for the second time for 5 minutes that the second choice was not available. She did not listen to what you ordered. She was not well presented and the service made us decide not to eat there. 15 minutes to serve us 4 drinks.

Great atmosphere, nice beer and good prices. Will be coming again

Really beautiful place, staff and service are top notch. Wonderful atmosphere, definitely my favourite pub in the area.

Lovely terrace to watch the world go by

Pies or pizza on the menu, but the pies are exceptional.

Cold beer and traditional pub atmosphere

Friendly staff and friendly atmosphere

Great atmosphere and staff, accommodating a good table service and offering different selection of drinks, the food was also good value and filling too, the new member of staff(Italian uni student) and Oscar went above and beyond the normal service you would expect anywhere else..Well done to the manager developing a good team..Well worth a visit for food and a good pint.

Lovely atmosphere and excellent service, the servers were so attentive and couldn't do enough for us! Particularly would like to say how great our "little Italian" lady was!!! Will definitely go back again.

Friendly, Covid compliant, pavement seating. Very pleasant

Awful service. Staff seem more interested in smoking than serving customers. Shame as used to be a great pub.

First time back since it’s opened. Amazing service and good beer! Lovely outside in the sun!

Very friendly pub - would recommend :)

Really disappointed in our visit. To put it into context the menu here is a few starters. It specialises in pies with a few sides and has the option of three basic pizzas. First time out in over a year due to pandemic. Booked a table for three for food the day before. Arrived and we were seated next to a table of 4 blokes swearing at full volume which my mum obviously really enjoyed. Ordered some drinks and waiter was surprised when I said we booked for food. He bought the menu over and immediately said. “ by the way we have no pies so all you can have is pizza if you want “. Two of which my mum couldn’t eat. A Bit surprising as we had booked the day before. To which he replied “ well it’s been a really busy day and we are short staffed and due to COVID we sold out “. ???? I said well “ if people are booked for dinner maybe it would be a good idea if you phoned ahead and told them you have no food”. We could have made other arrangements. He wondered off. Anyway. After unsticking the menu from the table we went across the road to the spread eagle hotel and were kindly squeezed in there for a nice meal. Won’t be going back in a hurry.

Friendly clean great beer great prices safe in these times

Quirky pub with very good staff who are soooo polite.

Cosy and relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and good ale selection

Silly over the top rules such as 'no upward drinking' meaning you can't stand inside or outside and have a beer. Nice staff though and nice place

Good beer and probably the cheapest in the Area
