Very lively and popular. Great location. Right opposite Westgate mall. I liked the energy of the place. One of the very few pubs in Oxford where you'd find people dancing, and it was a really fun atmosphere. Vibrant and full of life!

Lovely, friendly staff and a nice, clean, colourful place. Liked the movie posters and throwback wall art. Decent drinks menu but felt a bit let down by the food. Chicken Kebab looked good but was pretty bland. Chicken burger was dry, with tiny bit of lettuce, no mayo or anything. Fries seemed to be microwavable ones rather than good fresh pub ones which was a shame. Too hard and devoid of flavour. Not terrible food, just average which isn't what we'd hoped for. My daughters fish and chips was good so 1 out of 3.

Oxford's most underrated pub - great food, drinks, and service for a reasonable price. Plus, a relaxed and quiet atmosphere. One of the best 'all rounder' pubs in the city centre, for sure.

Please be sure to watch your drinks here....... you buy one then they collect/take it away when you are not looking or dancing. I sa them do it and they denied it. Drinks are expensive as it is when you go out! I had one mouthful and it was gone ! Then they kick you out A SAP!

Wonderful little pub/restaurant, really delicious and reasonably priced for what you get. The starters we had was the popcorn chicken and the soup of the day, for the main we had gammon steak and the cowboy burger all full of favour and delicious. The drink selection was varied doing good deals on cocktails and beer on tap. This is right at the entrance of Westgate so is ideal if you need a break while your shopping, my one downfall would be I ordered 4 drinks but I only got 3 possibly because the server didn't hear me very well or had forgotten.

Dont bother phoning, not answered until after they open @ 11am. If you need to use the toilet, beware - no lock on the door and just too far to keep shut with your feet. Obviously rarely checked. Food tolerable but not impressive. Plenty of other more caring venues, patronise with care.

Food was terrible. Service was awful, went for family lunch.

Asian bouncer on the door is has some mental health issues. He belittles everyone that comes in. He told me he knows me and I in every week, when I haven’t been there for over a month. My friend is 28 and showed his driving licence. The bouncer told him that it’s not him. Absolute joke and deserves to be sacked, he’s always instigating arguments and trouble. Would be such a better venue without that him.

Deeply disappointing - there was an unfriendly vibe already when I walked in. Then I found out that the kitchen was closed at 7:45 on a Tuesday evening, after they went through the effort to distribute flyers offering food discounts. It was a deserted, unwelcoming place - avoid.

It looks very cool when you walk in and then you notice that the seating is awkward, the service is okay, the food took a while and was... okay. My beer was not cold, my wife's red wine was white and the kids drinks were small. Our conclusion was - we should've gone to Nandos. In fairness not many people were eating so we probably picked the wrong spot for a family dinner on a Saturday night.

This is a good spot for casual dining if you don't want to eat at any of the restaurants in the Westgate Shopping Mall. The staff at Cow & Creek were fairly nonchalant and the welcome wasn't especially warm, but the food was really good. I had a Steak & Ale pie with chips and peas. I usually avoid peas but these were so tasty! The pie was beautifully made - perfect pastry, tender meat and rich gravy. The entire meal was piping hot, fresh and full of flavour. Reasonably priced and big portion dish, so great value for money. However, the drinks prices were similar to London, which surprised me!! I had my meal between 5-6pm; therefore, I didn't need to eat for the rest of the evening, which was great! Would re- visit if I happen to be in Oxford City Centre again - hope the staff will be much friendlier though!

I booked a bottomless brunch for my sisters birthday on Thursday 7th December at the Slug and Lettuce. They were very understaffed and we were not even offered a drink after waiting ages. Left without any acknowledgement from the staff and no orders taken. Had a great lunch in the Cow and Creek, where we were warmly welcomed and served. I should have gone there first anyway as it has always been a great place to eat and drink. The staff are always really friendly and welcoming. Went to the Cow and Creek again on the Saturday to meet friends for Christmas drinks. Always a pleasure.

Went back during the week for lunch with a new set of workmates and very pleased to say the service is still great. Warm welcome from from staff, food and drinks orders dealt with efficiently. The burger I had (large spicy beef burger) was very tasty and filling. Fries were great too. Everyone else very happy with their food - fish & chips, mac & cheese, bowl of chips. Comfy seating, plenty of space, very clean, great food and service.

A short visit to Oxford brought us to lunchtime and the need for somewhere to eat. Happily, we chose the Cow and Creek. A friendly welcome from the guy behind the bar set the tone. My wife and I ordered cod and chips and what a great choice. We have both eaten cod and chips many times but these two meals were up there with the very best. Well done chef. Recommended, not just for the food but the ambience as well.

We visited Oxford in September 2023 and decided to eat at the Cow & Creek. The landlord was very polite and welcoming. The choice of food was good, we had the surf and turf for under £16. The meal was good quality and the steak cooked just right. For this location and price we felt it was good value, hence our 5 star rating. Thank you for a good meal.

Cow & Creek, nestled in the heart of Oxford, left an indelible impression on me with its remarkable blend of delightful drinks, convivial camaraderie, and an enchanting ambience. Stepping into this charming establishment, I was immediately captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere that seemed to effortlessly draw people in, creating an oasis of merriment amidst the bustling city. The evening was punctuated by a selection of finely crafted drinks that catered to a spectrum of tastes, each sip a testament to the artistry of the skilled mixologists. From classic concoctions to inventive libations, the drink menu proved to be an exciting journey for the palate. Whether savouring a meticulously balanced cocktail or sipping on a carefully curated wine, Cow & Creek's libations were a testament to the establishment's commitment to excellence. Beyond the libations, what truly set Cow & Creek apart was the opportunity it provided to forge new connections. Engaging conversations flowed effortlessly as I had the pleasure of meeting fellow patrons, sharing stories, and discovering common interests. The establishment's design and layout seemed to encourage these interactions, fostering an environment where strangers could easily become friends. The venue itself exuded a rustic charm that was both inviting and comfortable. The décor tastefully embraced its countryside inspiration, creating an ambience that felt simultaneously cosy and vibrant.

We went here with our friends and kids at around 7pm on a Saturday. Surprisingly, many popular British pub food options, including classic burgers and fish and chips, were unavailable. As a result, all six of us ended up having to settle for southern fried chicken, which was just okay but not the best choice.

Visited with my son who ordered the burger. It came with a dry bun and an equally dry burger patty. No relish and just a piece of lettuce and slice of tomato. All totally inedible and not the qualities would expect in a Waitrose. The chips were obviously of the oven variety and undercooked. Overall a terrible experience and not one I would wish to repeat. Will not be coming back.

Really tasty curries, with generous takeaway portions. We had 4 dishes and not only did each of them look and taste completely different, but they passed the portion test - will we get lunch from this tomorrow? It was friendly service and I kinda wished we'd eaten in, as it is really cosy and appealing inside now. Will return for takeaway and some evenings out.
