Seacourt Bridge pub in Vale of White Horse

A much underrated but much appreciated establishment, serving excellent food and ale at unbelievably reasonable prices - the offers are splendid and not to be missed. The staff offer a degree of welcome and service that is unusual to find these days. Do not be put off by the ‘oasis’ of a mostly empty new retail/office development over the road - the Seacourt Bridge arcs back to a more relaxed and quality time.

Good selection of beers. Tasty and inexpensive food. Excellent friendly service. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you Katy for your hospitality 🥇

Fantastic experience, lovely atmosphere and great staff. The ultimate spicy beef burger was to die for. Very busy pub with people looking like they were at home which was great to see. Will definitely be back for another visit.

Popped in for a spot of lunch, excellent greeting followed by an amazing upsell to a new menu item. It did not disappoint. The Doner Kebab was very delicious and the maple sauce was very succulent. Lovely atmosphere, great community pub.

Absolutely fantastic meal, lovely staff and great atmosphere. Local community pub with a great vibe.

A proper pub. No annoying music, great beer at a good price and plenty of space to sit and chat or watch the footie if you want to.

Great pub serving the community, good value for money and great offers on on most nights, I enjoyed the pie and pint gorgeous and just £10.50 you really can't moan Nice decor and atmosphere

Great pub and great staff highly recommended x

Sport, food, beer and great atmosphere 👌 all in one place. Fantastic night and would highly recommend

Excellent place to have a few beers, local pub feel, chat to regulars, all sport shown on multiple TVs, great atmosphere and fun staff. Food is excellent, especially if you factor in value for money, hard to beat. Kate and Tracy and their crew always greet you with a smile. Lovely local pub, not many left !! Steve/ Oxford

Great pub, clean and tidy. Staff very friendly and attentive. Will definitely return soon

We popped in here for a pint and it's a lovely pub! Exterior has seating to enjoy in good weather. Interior also nice, decor is traditional with lovely stained glass panels over the bar. Busy, friendly place although the Manager should learn to smile and engage a touch more!

Really good food and a nice friendly atmosphere, highly recommended 😊

Great spot for drinks with family and friends! Such lovely staff that really care about the pub and everyone who comes in, so lovely to see

I was taking my nephew and his partner out we happened to pop into Seacourt Bridge thinking it was just going to be a boring night but a large group of folk/storyteller musicians were playing, singing ballads. It made the atmosphere warm and friendly and like we had dropped into a pub from Hobbiton. Lovely

Stopped by for a few drinks and ended up staying for dinner. I had a great time and the food was delicious.

Had come in for a couple of drinks to relax with my fiance, the drinks were mostly reasonably priced and the ones that weren't had offers on that made it a great deal. I ended up ordering the mixed grill and it was out reasonably quick and cooked perfectly, with the chips especially standing out for being perfect! The staff were friendly, and caring. Have decided to make it a regular spot!

Came into the Seacourt recently with some family for an evening meal. As soon as through the door, we was welcomed by the manager, Katy behind the bar. Even though we hadn't booked we was able to find a table and sat straight away, the variety of food and drinks choices is perfect, meaning something for everyone. After deciding and headed up to the bar to put our order in, our order was taken officently and precise. Our food was lovely, couldn't have asked for it to be any better, with that we couldn't stop ourselves from order desert, which was just as lovely. I couldn't recommend this place enough, lovely atmosphere, great food and drinks, and a wonderful team of staff. Will definitely be coming back.

From Start to finish this place exceeded my expectations. I've heard a lot about pubs that are local community pubs and felt like I was going to be an outsider having not frequented the place before. I couldnt have been more wrong. Astounding greeting. Friendly smile. The barman Keith made me feel right at home and you couldn't ask for more than that. We ordered drinks before we sat down and Keith offered to bring over the Guinness as it needed to settle, I've been in pubs before that have simply made me wait for it, so felt that just had that extra special touch to our visit. We ordered food and I have to say the Fish was absolutely gorgeous just the right amount of batter ratio. Chips were so tasty. If it hadn't been for the fact that I had a craving for garlic bread I probably would have had a dessert, however now I have to come back to be able to try out the excellent selection of desserts on offer. The Seacourt Bridge has that home feel, whether it be enjoying a nice drink and meal or watching the football. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Staff are friendly and the chef is obviously very good at their job. The manager should be very proud of them. I may even come back on another Thursday and play Bingo. Excellent all round

Lovely welcoming pub. Good choice of vegetarian food. Fun events like karaoke and quizzes.

Not bad for a pie and pint deal !!! 👌would happily visit again and tell a friend!

Comfortable, music in the background that still allows for conversation. Good pub food we had the pie and pint at £10.50 good value. We finished off with a sundae and were pleasantly surprised to find the brownie chunks were warm, it was delish. Excellent service, and on a Monday night the pub was nicely full of customers. Good place to go!

Lovely grub, helpful service, good prices 👍🏻

Place has gone down hill since the skin head lad left, atmosphere used to be so fun now it’s just a bit dead tbh. Where’s he gone? He was a bit of eye candy for the Mrs’s aswell.

Excellent cozy pub in Oxford with great food. Would visit again.

A local pub for local people, this might be an option if you are a regular and want to watch sports with your mates, but popping in for a drink at the end of a bike ride we found the bar smelled, the garden a bit run down and the beer poorly kept to the point my friend gave up on his Hobgoblin and even my Neck Oil tasted off. One to avoid.

It’s been a while since I’ve been in here due to moving house. Love the place and it’s still as friendly as ever. The variety on the menu is great and the beer garden looks great with Sky Sport on the large screen. Had a great burger and a few jars. Places feels really clean. Keep up the great work.

Called in on the off chance on fathers day received a warm welcome and had a lovely meal

Friendly staff, delicious food and extremely good draught Guinness and Inch's cider. Thank you‼️

Kate the manager is the most wonderful person and hard working pub person I have ever met. The food is superb and the beer is some of the best in Oxford. I feel privileged to be a customer. Well do e to the staff

A lovely place, but I must report on a so-called 'drag queen' who performed for what I believe is known as 'gay pride weekend'. I visited with my aging great-aunt Ethel, after a day spent walking round Farmoor reservoir and visiting local churches. In need of refreshment (she is 89) we popped in, early doors. Ethel was delighted with her food and drink, but grew increasingly concerned when 'Hazel Nuts' turned up - a man, clearly, but dressed like Eddie Izard. To my amazement, this genteel pub descended into scenes worthy of the Emperor Caligula. I felt it was important to stay, in the interests of research, and we bravely witnessed 'dry-humping' and many other sights. I popped to the bar and saw Ethel cavorting like Divine with numerous locals. Although this was Oxford - home to a veritable University - I felt it was more like Hamburg or Rio! I fully intend to repeat the experience, but Ethel remains in a state of shock.

Pub with lots of locals and daily specials which are excellent value for money

Pub is only good for drinks We went for an evening meal, the pub was full of locals (which is fine) but they acted like they owned the pub and we did not feel welcome at all. The food was awful, lasagne was luke warm, and the salad had a horrible dressing on it. Chips tasted like the oil they’d been fried in hadn’t been changed since the early 2000s. The bar staff couldn’t even be bothered to fry Mayo when we politely asked for some. The staff were also not sure how to put food through the till which made the process quite long and slow. We were also unaware there was a band performing that night and they didn’t tell us, we were sat right next to the band which just made everything worse, but if you like live music you’ll enjoy it. The drinks were well priced for their size

Rud staff; disgusting food, awful clientele and warm beer wirh watered down spirits.AVOID!

A friendly feeling, old style pub with reasonable professional staff + a good choice well priced food.

Great food and really friendly staff. Really good value.

Staying at Premier Inn & wanted a meal after a busy day out. Excellent food & service at a great price. Love the mac cheese 😄

Excellent food reasonably priced and the pub is very "dog friendly"

Home from home. No fuss food, drink and hospitality.

Lovely staff and value for money food. A proper community pub,

This is not a wheelchair accessible pub but if you have some level of mobility you will be able to use it. This is a local pub with locals in it. You can get through the level access doors and there you will have a friendly, local double sided pub with some level of dog friendlness. There is quiet music playing. The tables shroud the bar so in its easy to order from almost anywhere. There are also some offshoot booths for more privacy but these won't be Wheelchair accessible. There is no wheelchair accessible toilet here. I used the ladies toilet with a Q200R powerchair and my chair is a wider size than the market type. However, my frame got through the first door to the ladies even with a gentleman sitting on the corner. It then took some skills to get round the corner (with smaller door) to the actual ladies loo. Once inside you will have to dismount from outside using the helping bars if you're not mobile. So you will have to leave your chair outside the internal loo entrance. It's pretty safe because they would have to get through three doors before getting outside the pub! Better still, take a friend and they can also enjoy it! A person with a walker or with some level of ambulance will be able to use this pub easily. See photos for general loo set up.

A decent pub grub and a pint establishment in a convivial atmosphere on the outskirts of Oxford.

The Seacourt was our choice for cocktails to belatedly celebrate big birthdays. Although yesterday's blizzard meant that my friend & i looked like snowmen as we arrived, the friendly welcome was a great start. The pub is a little gem, bright, clean, warm & cosy. We planned on a having a couple of drinks but stayed for the evening & it was buzzing with a wide range of local families & visitors. A lovely evening & a big thanks to the bar staff who handled our cocktail demands perfectly - and to Norman!

Food was amazing staff were down to earth,Tracey was amazing and made time to speak to us

It's a pity I need to write this having always had admiration for the licencee - she held the place together through the pandemic and is entrepreneurial with events to attract the locals. Although I live locally I confess to not being a regular customer although I do direct a fair number of people to the Seacourt. In the last month or so I have had several enjoyable Sunday lunches there and did not notice that the main menu had changed since I last had a midweek meal. Possibly the take up of food over recent months made the former fairly extensive menu unprofitable? Whatever caused the change I have to say that the more limited choice of dishes is not going to attract more custom - certainly not mine! Even worse a week or so ago I took a group of friends for a midday meal and it was not an enjoyable experience. Being asked by the bartender if ladies wanted their drinks in a glass or the bottle is not a good start not was the error in the meal order. When the food did arrive whilst the scampi dishes were tolerable the "larger salad in place of chips etc" that accompanied both the lasagne and hunters chicken consisted of just a smallish portion of almost half dried up lettuce and just one small slice of tomato. Has the chef changed? I was somewhat embarrassed to have taken friends there having spoken well of the food and whilst I might venture in for Sunday lunch again unless I hear that the other meals have improved mid week will be out. What a pity.

Food is outstanding compliment’s to the chef

Friendly barstaff, comfortale clean decor, great choice of beers including low alcohol, reasonable priced good pub food cooked extremely well. If more pubs were like this the fancy bars and gastro pubs would never had got a look in.

Very nice atmosphere, pub food. But improving with every visit!

The staff are excellent, the food is amazing, the atmosphere in the seacourt bridge is wonderful, it really is a pleasure to be in a proper well run pub. Tracy the landlady deserves so much credit running the pub so efficiently if you need anything she goes over and beyond to supply it.

Lovely pub. Good ales, very good food, fish and chips highly recommended. Friendly staff and clientele plus a very good atmosphere. Dog friendly.

The most fantastic and delicious Christmas lunch for collection the day before. All three courses exquisite x

It was very entertaining and the staff were so helpful. The food was delicious and very well priced. Overall a very fun place and it was enjoyable watching World Cup!

Now back to its best, with excellent beer, staff and food. A rare pub where you can drink and chat, but also watch sport. A minor quibble: be careful of the 'members' tables', which get reserved by an officious customer who thinks she runs the place. Last week, I went in with my elderly grandmother (since deceased from hypothermia) and this berk barked at us to move, screeching: 'the whole area is reserved'. When I objected, I was told she was head underwear scraper, at the dubious-St Peter's College, so held emeritus status in being officious. Suitably chastised, I dragged my ailing grandmother outside, to sit shivering and gasping, in the pouring rain, Luckily the charming landlady put the weird upstart in her place and rescued us - but you have been warned!

Great establishment! Cozy and cozy here! Many thanks for the warm welcome of the Ukrainians who were forced to end up in England. Good luck and prosperity, dear friends!

Well where to start, pity that we cannot give less than 1star, our experience at this pub was ABSOLUTELY APPALLING, we would never step inside this pub again. We had booked a table for an evening meal on Sunday, upon arriving we were informed by the land lady that there only 2 roast dinners left, although we did not want a roast, that should have raised alarm bells as these were probably left over meals from lunch time already plated and ready to be rewarmed. We ordered 4 starters, after waiting 30mins, we asked at the bar where they were, the young girl behind the bar replied, "oh you are ready for your starters", 3 arrived luke warm, the 4th arrived with a main meal, when it was pointed out that this was a starter, she replied "I'll take the meal back and keep it warm". We should really have left at this point, however, after a further 30mins we asked the same young girl where our meals were, again with the reply "oh you are ready for your meals". When they arrived we were absolutly disgusted with the presentation, again they were all luke warm, but were all almost completely dried up, all of the meals had been plated for some considerable time and either left under hot lamps or in an oven, all of the meals were completely inedible. We approached the same young girl again, we expressed our disappoint and asked to speak to the landlady, we were informed that she had gone out but would be back later. It would appear that this young girl was left to run the pub and kitchen, it was not her fault that we vented our frustrations and disappointments on her, however she did apologise and removed all food from the bill, as we had not eaten the inedible meals. As there was no chef on duty, we've assumed that our meals were prepared and plated up probably by the landlady, and left somewhere to keep warm, and that as the landlady had left the pub with instructions for the young girl to tend to us and to serve us, but as she was busy she had over looked us. All in all an extremely poor advertisment for this pub. We had planned to stay for the evening have a few drinks and listen to the band, but not after this disaster. Including us, there were another couple eating, which made 6 in total, not exactly busy to prepare and cook 6 edible meals.

Fantastic grate service had a grate time food was great lovley atmosphere we loved it

It's just a great local pub. I'm usually in a few times a week for a pint and sometimes dinner or a cheeky late breakfast at the weekend. Such a welcoming landlady and great, friendly staff. And all at a great price, too! X

I live locally and really like the laid-back friendly atmosphere, we often meet visitors from the premier Inn in the pub which adds a bit of variety to the mix and it is generally very friendly and a lot of the locals and staff know...

4 stars purely due to wait time for food. When the food came out it was lovely though. I've lived local to Seacourt for many years and just started visiting. The lady behind the bar (Tracey I believe) is a proper old school ar person, very friendly and pleasant to be around. Took my son here and he loved his food and that Tracey(?) Spoke to him like a little adult. I gather The Seacourt used to have a less than favourable reputation, but yhe last couple of times I've been there have been lovely.

Came in for a pint, which was beautifully poured and clearly well kept bitter, and lingered so long I needed to have dinner. The fish and chips was a perfect choice, and they were so accommodating to my allergy, they let me switch the chips...

Lovely traditional pub, something for everybody, would definitely recommend!

Ate in this pub 2 nights in a a row after working away and staying round the corner. Good hole cooked food at great prices in an old school pub with friendly/helpful staff. What more could you want!

Love this pub,staff are really friendly always have a smile,food is fantastic & pretty well priced.. can definitely recommend 😄😁

Great friendly pub to go for a drink or some food with friends or family. Tracey and Katy are very welcoming and will provide you service with a smile. It is good pub atmosphere with many special events laid on to suit everyone from Bingo, Disco's, guest Bands and public holiday events. It is also a great place to visit for your sporting fix as there is many TVs to allow your request to be catered for.

Very friendly pub. They accommodated a large group of us at short notice. Food was great. Will go again.

Good selection of beers a bit dated decor and seating, clientele are more older , food is fine, would go again

Misinformation on the phone when we called in to ask about breakfast. When we arrived, we were treated rudely and told the opposite on the phone. Not a welcoming place overall.

Visited this premises for the first time as I was meeting a local acquaintance. Upon entry, I immediately realised it was going to be a “disappointing” experience. Dirty/worn/old furniture. Splattered menus. Think Poor version is Wetherspoons (I’ve been their twice under duress……!!). Random. Empty (many...

Love the food and people loveliy .great food ;roasts r flavour some. Lovely watching the world go by in the garden.

Food is fantastic and so is the service! The girls on serving were so friendly and welcoming. Reasonably priced too! Shame we aren't local or we would be here all the time!

10/10 Lovely staff 1/10 Poor food. We ordered medium rare steak and received over well done. In addition, the peas were extremely undercooked. Chips were alright but you could get the same from the frozen section at the store. The tomato looked and tasted like it had been run over.

Nice friendly pub, good food, recommended.

Although initially welcoming the conversation between staff was extremely unprofessional. One comment made by one staff member was I am sweating my t**s off and have had enough today. The staff were continually on mobile phones taking cigarette breaks or using the games machines. The chef on 2 occasions was called back to the kitchen from the beer garden where he seemed to be with friends rather than working. This was all within the 1.5hrs I spent there. Not exactly a Great reflection on Marstons

Went specifically to watch Leicester v Man U game, as advertised very prominently on their website. No sign on the tv so I respectfully asked please could we switch to BTSport? “Oh I don’t think it’s working. “ And she was right, it wasn’t. Ruined...

I had occasion to dash in to the Seacourt Bridge Pub to use the toilet quickly. The Landlady showed me very quickly where the Ladies was. When I go and look around the Artisan market I will definitely pop in there for de-caff Cappacino. When...

Came here with my family and the dog as the A34 was closed, very lucky to have found this place to have a nice cold drink and some really tasty food, great value and dogs are welcome too and a nice garden to sit in. Staff were brilliant.

Waited for the food for an hour even though there was just a few person there . Serving is quite small and food wasn’t worth waiting for that long. Would not eat here again.

Came here today no booking wanting for a roast. I decided on the roast beef. Great choice beef was cooked to perfection, gravy was delish, veg was cooked to perfection as were the roast potatoes. The Yorkshire pud was also really nice and obviously homemade....

Great kept beer with very friendly staff and the food was really tasty and amazing value for money. Would recommend

Been to this pub a few times and always had good service. We went for lunch on Fathers Day and sat outside in the sun, we ordered a chicken roast and my son ordered fish and chips, all looked and tasted delicious. Menu says you...

Good service and reasonable prices.

Great pub. Proper pub food and great staff. 👍🏻

homely pub, great staff and lovley food.

Excellent cozy pub in Oxford with great food. Would visit again.

It was dirty outside in the garden and Saturday the men's toilet was broken but staff were friendly a good mix of customers

Well kept pint of Banks Amber Ale.And a very tasty ultimate burger

The bar man was under pressure to serve every body. When there was another member of staff walking around in the Background. The food I ordered was not great either It was gone cold half way through eating it.

Great menu, reasonable prices. Very friendly staff.

Absolutely brilliant place, food was on point and the ale was immense. Working away from home never felt so homely. Mandy and the staff were amazing

One of the worst pubs I’ve ever been in. Dreadful and miserable staff, asked about food as it was 8.30, told very rudely, you have 10 minutes. Ordered food then told to move table as it was reserved from 9pm. Food arrived, average to say...

The cheerful staff had helpfully reserved us a table in sight of the TV so we could watch the match. The food was excellent value and the portions were large and satisfying. The beer was good and the company was congenial. Well recommended to travellers staying at the new Botley Premier Inn.

Felt completely unwelcome from the second we arrived. Completely disinterested staff, one of who was too 'busy' sorting out bags of easter eggs to deal with the civil question of where we should sit. Surly and horrible from the outset, with everything too much trouble....

Where to begin? If anyone wants a lesson in how to not run a friendly pub with good food, then simply step inside this dive. Terrible staff with no idea how to treat people. Food was absolute rubbish which was almost thrown a) on the...

The pub is local to the Premier Inn Botley and serves really lovely food, good pub grub. The landlord was so welcoming and friendly. We had booked meal deal at the Premier Inn but it was so limited we cancelled and went to the local...

Lovely welcome excellent service meals are well priced lovely and clean

Website shows the pub better than it actually is. Poor food not very clean very dissapionting

I had a great couple of pints and a lovely beef dinner...a proper pub well worth visiting

Really good food and welcoming staffs. Nice place for families.❤️❤️❤️. Reasonable price.

The Christmas lunch was excellent, food hot and more than enough to eat. Decor lovely, more than enough food to eat.

Friendly staff , good value food
