Duke Of Monmouth in Oxford

Value for money good. Hit and miss as for quality of meal. Food dependant on the cook of the day. Friendly staff

Food is ok, but portions are small, and tv was very loud. Friendly staff, limited parking.

Came in this afternoon for bit of lunch, food was brilliant and came out fast, man behind the bar was called Marcus that was always there if we needed him, a young lad in the kitchen called Chris cooked our meals, me and my wife both had the special bonfire burger that was very good,I would highly recommend this establishment, defo visiting again 😀

awful experience. the pub itself is lovely but we arrived to 2 extremely miserable girls working behind the bar, no customer service, not even a smile, just making us fully aware on a very quiet Saturday that we're a huge inconvenience. My partner and I were very kind and polite the entire time, which makes it even worse. the girl behind the bar couldn't be bothered to wash a cocktail shaker to make a simple cocktail and asked me to come back later to ask for a cocktail. I offered to help her make the cocktail as she didn't know and her colleague was ignoring her every time she walked past. The 2nd girl that kept ignoring the one behind the bar who was running food was the most unpleasant, had a face like a slapped ass and walked off the bar halfway through serving me and made it very clear she didn't want to be there, her attitude was disgusting and rude. a word of advice, DON'T work in hospitality if you can't provide the absolute bare minimum. If you don't want to be there, don't be. people are spending your hourly wage on one round, the least you can do is find some kindness within yourselves and make people feel their hard earned money is being well spent. There are also many people that would be really grateful to have your jobs in this current climate, so maybe you can be swapped out for them?

Maybe the worst service I’ve had. Went for lunch on Saturday, the place was almost empty. But I had to wait over 45 mins for our puddings we ordered. All the service was very slow, staff were miserable. Food was over cooked. Would not recommend, will not even go back! Horrible meal

Friendly service, nice pub ambience. Tasty pub grub. Pie, steaks, and mac and cheese were all great. Solid choice for a chill evening out.

The food was very tasty and the beer nice and cold. The staff was more than friendly and forthcoming. Will come here again.

This Venue has a lovely sized garden around the majority of the perimeter, with 2 huge screens outside for sporting events. There are also multiple screens inside if it’s chilly! A friendly vibe(m, with great value food and a wide drinks range suitable for all. Very family friendly with colouring available for little ones.

A great place to meet up with friends for food and drink.

Me and my partner called in to have a drink on the way back from a trip out on the way home, what a lovely place it is too, the bar maid Shannon, was so lovely and welcoming and was so polite towards us, asking us if we've had a nice day, etc,,we had our drink and said thankyou, to which Shannon replied thankyou for visiting us, which is a bit rare nowadys, so I feel justified in writing a positive review on our visit. Thankyou again Shannon for making us feel so welcome.

Great meal , lovely place. Well done to the chef really enjoyed my meal. Well definitely be back for more.

the food i ordered tasted absolutely beautiful. came in quick time so i would like to thank the chef cody for making my dinner enjoyable

Popped in Tuesday with friends for some food and was very pleased. Very good portions and great value. I'll definitely be coming back, food was excellent

Lovely food , I really enjoyed my meal. Will definitely come back in the future. Great atmosphere and good friendly service. Worth a visit if your nearby.

went to the on Tuesday with my husband and in-laws for a catch up. we were not rushed and were welcomed and looked after by all the team but a special thank you to our cook cody. the portions were very large but worth the price. the restaurant has a very calm atmosphere. we are likely to return.

Lovely pub with a quaint, warm garden and a calm atmosphere inside. Great range of food and drinks suitable for any occasion! Will definitely return

Worst service I have received in my life - waited for an hour and a half for our food before having to leave to make other plans. Manager was unapologetic and only compensated for the missing food, constantly making excuses. Claimed to have informed us of a delay with the food when no such communication was received - we sat there for an hour and a half with no word from staff. Go elsewhere, the drinks are bad as well. EDIT: The Manager has gotten in contact to make it right with an extra refund and vouchers offered - this is appreciated and is perhaps showing of the other glowing reviews the pub has. Greene King is usually good for this and is shown here.

The worst customer service experience I’ve ever had. After waiting over an hour and a half for food, we asked for the time our food would be ready so we could decide whether we’d rather just have a refund or not. They refused to refund the small number of starters and drinks we’d had, only refunding the money for the mains we waited insanely long for and apparently still wasn’t close to being prepared. This meal was supposed to be for my dad’s birthday and my graduation, after a day of long travelling and missing lunch. Instead, it was an evening completely wasted and ruined. The staff were unsympathetic, unapologetic, and quite frankly rude. The fact we waited that long and didn’t even end up with our meals is ridiculous. Terrible service.

Waited nearly 2 hours for food, got a refund just for the main courses after being told it was on the way multiple times. Absolutely awful

FOOD WAS GOOD, staff nice Only criticism we had was it got a bit cold in the pub , even the staff had fleeces on , would have stayed longer if it had been warmer

A nice stop for a Sunday Roast. The turkey was the most tender I've ever had (including 63 Thanksgivings); fork-cutable. And the gravy added deliciousness to everything. Well done, lads.

First time visiting the pub, and we had a brilliant time. Food was amazing and staff and manager were friendly, welcoming and made our visit enjoyable. Definitely be back for more visits

Went for some drinks, such a lovely atmosphere the customer service was amazing, was speaking to one of the bartenders I believe her name was Shannon, she was so lovely and so welcoming!, was a lovely night, I’d highly recommend!.

Absolutely wonderful staff! Everyone was so nice, especially the manager Adam. Clean and stellar service with delicious food! The chicken shawarma flatbread was so good; I can't believe I devoured the whole thing.

Very good situated pub 🍻 Nice food affordable prices wonderful service 😁

Lovely food and service, I’d recommend anyone that’s in the area to visit here

Food and drinks are all not good. The only one good thing is there are plenty of sits in the garden.

My friend n I stopped here for lunch,all was good .

The food was absolutely delicious ! The menu offers a wide variety of options. Kind and friendly service and are supper welcoming to dogs and offer blanket and water for them which was lovely of them.

Gets a four purely for location. Stunning riverside garden with great sunsets when the weather permits. A fullers pub but with a great selection of guest ales. I don’t like the way the tables are reserved for those eating when the garden is half empty. Punters tend to gamify this system by ordering a plate of fries. Pushes the relatively high spending drinkers to the shade and at the back.

I recently visited with my Great Aunt Edna and her 4 year old cookapoo, Tommy. I indulged into a double warners rhubarb gin and slim line tonic (slimming world guru here) as I was pleasantly upsold from a single! My Aunt Edna had half pint of YARDBIRD…Super fruity and a great balance morish after taste. The barman I think his name was Adam advised they rotate their Ales weekly but YARDBIRD must stay!!! The garden is clean, tidy and the glorious weather topped off the day. Would highly reccomend visiting the Duke of Monmouth if you’re passing by!

This cozy pub is tucked away just outside the city center, but it’s an absolute treasure. The beer garden is a delight, with plenty of seating and a warm atmosphere. Inside, there are loads of games to keep you entertained, from pool to darts. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall charm of the place. Perfect for unwinding with friends or catching up over a pint. The snack menu is well-curated and reasonably priced, with some great deals on offer. An impressive selection of craft beers and ciders, with some unique options

Quiet during our second visit. Couple of nice pints of ale and some food, sat outside with the dogs. Would happily visit again.

Very nice pub with good drinks and food

Visited over the weekend and had the Chicken Shawarma Flatbread - absolutely delicious! Fab staff were very patient whilst I tried to choose a gin 🤣 settled on Hendricks Flora Adora which I had never tried before! Lovely covered garden area out the back - will definitely be visiting again soon!

My very recent experience was brilliant..... The guy running the place was welcoming, the drinks were spot on and delivered quickly.... Had a bit of food which was great..... Enjoyed myself greatly

Beautiful pub with extremely friendly staff. The garden is stunning, and the pergola-covered area with the tv is a welcome difference from the majority of pubs around here, especially in the rainy weather!! Great well rounded menu with plenty of different choices for all. Exceptional value and great quality.

Website said no tables available wife called at 17.30 very polite man said we r not busy so we parked up and polite service and 2 very good mixed grills this was after a visit to oxford and neither of is had eaten travelling up ftom west sussex.This is a case of never judge a book by its cover and would recommend.visit was on 21st of July 2024

Good experience on the evening of the European Cup final. Very good family atmosphere.

Great service, good food, prices are ok. We could also watch football. Thank you!

Decent bar food and drinks. Good place to hang out with friends after work.

Really enjoyed my first visit today. Great atmosphere with locals, tourists, families and pets...Wimbledon on all the TVs. Great outdoor area. Loved the food and the service was top notch. Special call out to Killian THE quintessential barman...efficient, friendly and fun. Coming back Sunday for the football 👍👍

A lovely Italian burger 🍔😋 with fries. Staff are very friendly and the service is great! A fab pub for football ⚽️ darts and pool 🎱👌😀

Came in for a meal tonight and chose the Swiss Burger and it was delicious! Well presented and it filled a hole on our travels! Special shout out to the new manager who made our experience, we will be back again!

The Sunday Roasts are always amazing at this pub. The food is served hot, with plenty on the plate. It seems to be one of the only Green Kings that offer the extras if you want (pigs in blankets, extra Yorkshire’s etc.) …….and if you don’t like a roast the recent change in menu provides a better variety then it did before (and is definitely temping me to go back soon to try some of it out 🙃) I’ve never had a bad meal there and look forward to my next visit

Worst pub in Oxford hands down. Walked in, the atmosphere was so depressing you'd think someone had died. There was music on the quietest volume which makes it pointless to have it on in the first place. The two blokes behind the bar were very mundane and dull. This is where is gets bad...I go to the toilet and there's this disgusting diarrhea all over the seat and the toilet bowl with urine on the floor. The smell was horrendous. Surprise suprise, a day later, I am now really sick with diarrhea. Coincidence? I think not. I got a pint and it tasted like bronze coins, very coppery and bizzare. Perhaps the pipes are rusty, I don't know. All I can say is, something was not right for sure. To make it worse, the table I initially sat at was sticky. There is no cleanliness standard at this pub. Stay well away from this place. I am writing this whilst being off sick from work thanks to their disgusting hygiene.

Food took a little while to appear but was up to standard. There is parking but if the pub was busy you would be parking on the street. Still, a good enough stop for a bite when passing through or sitting outside watching footy in the well prepared space.

excrement In the gents toilets around the pan and walls and in corners that was dried in , so had to have beeb there for weeks / months … sack your cleaners. The GM - Should have an opening checklist to ensure the business is fit for purpose !! Also he could do with a mirror as he looked a state and his team were untidy in appearance … standards should be set from the GM …you serve food but you have standards as a back street cafe that’s well below par … 🤢

The guy running the place at the moment on loan from the Acorn is bang on..... Wish we could keep him as the Manager... Best wishes to the out going Manager Ashleigh

Pleasant surroundings inside and outside.

Great good value food and also dog friendly pub. We went for a last minute Sunday lunch and the pub managed to accommodate us without a booking. We had a lovely meal, service was quick and friendly staff.

Fairly bog standard Green King pub cheap drinks, service is always decent, atmosphere leaves something to be desired when compared to other pubs in Oxford but they're up against difficult competition. Reasonably priced pints

Average. Seems like a good place for local people, neighbours etc. It's ok for a drink.

Super friendly staff Food was well priced and good quality.

Having been a regular diner for some years I feel I must give thanks where it’s deserved to Ashleigh and her team, her pub have the best kept garden it south oxford with probably the largest TV for miles . But mine love is the ambience her team create with there customers mind you the food is excellent value for money keep up team from table 8

Went here for food and had a lovely experience! The staff were attentive and very helpful, the food was fantastic, would especially recommend the steak and ale pie, and the hunters chicken. Had a lovely beer garden with the sport on and a good range of drinks, plus dog friendly so will definitely be visiting again!

My local, staff are great with one exception. Good atmosphere when the football is on. Great night out when Danny Love does a set. I love the place.

ash the manager was on her own due to staff shortage. she was brilliant and so was the chef. Never a bad meal in this pub. keep up the good work .

Wonderful food beautifully prepared by Farrah excellent service and homely atmosphere

Good food for a reasonable price. Good selection of beers.

Great Lunch, tasty new burger of the month.

Cozy pub with a nice garden. There is a lot of screens so you can enjoy watching football or whatever is on. Food was great and service was excellent! Will definitely come back soon.

The best katsu curry I’ve ever had, shame I’m not local.

Great pints and brilliant service

Live broadcast of sporting events on five televisions. Good price-performance ratio.

A great experience from start to finish for our party of 9. Highly recommend!

First time here didnt eat so cant comment on food however it looked and smelt good. Service was fast. Barman was polite and cheerful. Great pool table didn't feel unwelcome, would visit again

Great value, tasty food, friendly staff.

A friendly pub, great staff and good pub grub at a decent price I had the mixed grill and it was like lovely. Would visit again.

Katsu chicken. Hunters chicken and a childs fish fingers with chips & beans. Was told as food was given us that there was no salad so we gave you extra chips. Should of asked before serving us really. Food just mediocre deep fried microwave food.

Lovely friendly local for us old blokes,always looked after very well by Ashley,Kimberley and Chris.

Came in this evening and was served by Chris very polite and amazing, we ordered food which was delivered by Kimberly, the pub looks amazing it's clean and very friendly

Had a lovely time at the duke. Chris was brilliant behind the bar. Highly recommend

Was in the Duke tonight, Chris was amazing checking in on us and our meals and Kimberly was great behind the bar. Will definitely be returning!

Amazing food and staff so helpful

Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, and good prices. Will definitely visit again!

Great food, great staff and dog friendly, what more could you want!

Lovely atmosphere and food, dog drink and treat station is brilliant.

Eat/drink here usually once/ maybe twice a week whilst away on business. Food generally good, pub ambience pretty relaxed with pleasant bar staff. Quick mention for Kimberly Jane who I find is always pleasant & helpful…and now remembers what my beer of choice is without asking….almost feel like a regular! usually able to find a quiet corner if I don’t want TV football.

We were very well received. We ate an emblematic dish with pleasure because it was good! And then the atmosphere and decor are perfect!! THANKS

Great local pub. Always has the football shown and good food which is really reasonably priced too. Staff are helpful and friendly.

If your looking for quality food and good service you’ve come to the wrong place ☹️ Squid was tough and tasteless and the gammon wasn’t cooked properly- still undercooked in the middle ! - I complained to the landlady and she said she would slap the chef 🙄 (So I have to pay for his mistakes ?) Won’t go here again 😖 - thank you for your reply ! - pretty much says it all ☹️

Spacious clean pub with the bonus of a car park at the reasonably priced food menu. Special deal on food made the meal a steal.

My friend and I visited this lovely pub yesterday as we were staying at the hotel a short walk away. I had the pie and mash and it was absolutely delicious. My friend had the chilli which she said was very nice. The pub itself is very nicely decorated, staff are very friendly, efficient and service is quick. Lovely atmosphere and comfy seating. Dog friendly too.

Lovely food and service .bar staff very helpful

go there regularly whe warm in summer lovely pub very welcoming staff food exerlent every.time great range of drinks on offer to all taste beautiful garden space to for everyone thank guys😊😊👌👍

We were a group of 19 people of which one was a toddler, one vegan, one non-gluten and elderly. The service was great and the food amazing. Thank you Kimberley and team.

I had a lovely visit here today. This pub has had a huge refurbishment and now has beautiful outdoor seating area too complete with a huge screen for all your favourite sporting events. I had the mixed grill which was perfectly cooked by trainee chef Chris who also covered table service. He did an excellent job! There is also a good selection of dining options for children and food is served from 12.00pm to 9.00pm daily. It was so good to see bar staff member Jenny and Landlady Ashleigh who provided a warm, friendly and welcoming service in such a relaxing and cosy environment. There is ample free parking available at the rear next to the garden. Disabled parking spaces are adequate and easily accessible. There is also a bus stop directly in front that takes you straight to the city centre. 22ND December 2023 I enjoyed a fabulous steak and a glass of Melbec this afternoon. I did wonder what happened to the beautiful display of cakes and pastries. It seemed strange not seeing the creative display 😕 Our meal was perfectly cooked and served hot and presented well 😋

Nice food and great service, however my knife was falling apart, we were given 1 napkin between 3 of us, I had to go to all the tables to try and get a fork to eat with, the woman's toilet had no toilet paper, the gents stank and was falling apart. Shame that the pub itself let them down !

Lovely pub, very clean and cosy with the football on. Fantastic service from bar staff and the food was brilliant, would highly recommend the steak and ale pie and hunters chicken. Had a lovely atmosphere and would definitely come again!

Good drinks, great pricing on food. Went with friends last night all of them said they enjoyed the food one even said it’s his favourite place to go for food. I recommend the bacon and cheese burger with sea salted skin on fries was absolutely gorgeous. It’s a very clean pub with good service, would highly recommend!! :)

Terrible service spoilt my teams annual get together

Took my team of 19 for a treat of christmas lunch. Pre booked a month previously to guarantee our booking and our menu choices on their form. Absolutely horrendous service missed meals raw steak, poor food and served one of my team who was gluten free a gluten meal overheard one of their workers from service saying they should of ordered gluten free then this was booked well in advance for their preparation. Meal was for 12.30 by 2pm we were still waiting for the main meal. By 3pm some of the team had to leave due to other commitments. My teams get together was totally destroyed by poor service.

Called into Duke of Monmouth again. We always use this lovely pub when we shop in Oxford. This time we called in for breakfast which set us up for Christmas Shopping in the City just a short ride way with the bus stop right outside the door. We had a delicious breakfast 2 of our party had the full English with extra black pudding and the 2 others had a lovely bacon sandwich. We recommend this nice pub for breakfast lunch or dinner. Always a great meal and friendly welcome what ever time of day we have visited 😊

I didn't have food, probably ok for beer... but horrible cocktail drinks they just mixed on a whim, put loads of sugar, and almost no alcohol. Person serving tried to smile but couldn't hide the disdain to serve cocktails instead of easy beers. Overall, it's not a good experience...

I liked the place. It's huge. Lots of seating- indoor as well as outdoor. There is a beer garden at the back of the pub- again with lots of seating. And there are heaters there, so you can sit comfortably outside without feeling too cold. Prices are not low- but it's pretty much the standard price of pubs in Oxford. Portions are large. I tried their squid starter, scampi and chips and liked it. Their mulled wine is great. Service is a little slow. But then I guess it's fine- I had time to spare and wasn't in a rush. The best part is that it's not loud like the pubs in city centre. You can actually sit down and have a conversation instead of needing to scream or strain your ears. Note that they don't do takeaways.

Friendly place with lovely staff. Not many people in today so service was really quick , but never have to wait long. Today visit was to try out the breakfast something I believe is a new adventure. Take my hat off to the chef very tasty and lots of it

Had a really great experience with staff members especially Ashleigh (I checked the spelling as she was that good) going out of her way to promote the brand and make our afternoon enjoyable. A credit to Greene King but overall a lovely clean pub with a lovely atmosphere. Will visit again

No so hidden gem, good food. Okay prices. Would visit again if I was in the area 🙏
