The Crown Steakhouse Bar in Babergh

Good food, generous portions, fair prices and friendly customer service. Great for a lunchtime pitstop in central Oxford.

Meet an old friend here today for lunch. The perfect place, good character and atmosphere but not noisy, food was excellent as the staff were friendly. I'd have no hesitation in returning.

Such a cozy pub with a lovely Sunday roast! The team were so friendly and made us feel welcome! Will definitely recommend and come back on another visit to Oxford.

Super tasty pies, awesome beer and cozy atmosphere.

Nice old pub with character. Unfortunately half the pies were out of stock. Because of that all three of us did have the steak & ale pie which was very nice.

Fab pub - excellent beer and good atmosphere!

Great place for a pie and a drink.

Poor knowledge about serious allergens in their food. Shame as the menu looked really nice. If you have an allergy I would avoid eating here.

We went for a pint, that was from their own or a close by brewery. Can't complain at all about the price and the quality of the beer. It was delicious.

Very tasty burgers. Nice atmosphere.

The Canadian guy studying law is very chill, made good drinks and it's my birthday guys.

Elizabeth what women! Thank you so much!

Great place , good food Burger is great chargrilled as it should be , centre of town ..

We had the bangers and mash, three excellent sausages and onion gravy. The service was good and the staff helpful and friendly.

Great recommendation by our guide for their pies. The slow-cooked steak & ale pie - oh I want more of it! Also had the chicken pie, equally good. Extremely satisfying meal for a very reasonable sum, washed down with ciders. The place is somewhat recessed in an alley, but Wirth seeking out.

We had a lovely Sunday roast here, generous portions and I enjoyed their sauce which was not a very typical gravy sauce for a roast. Dog friendly and nice atmosphere.

It was a find in the middle if Oxford. Pleasantly surprise by young yet efficient service, good pub food, nice wine and ale. Gave us more energy on our day around gorgeous Oxford.

Nice friendly pub with great range of beers ales on tap. Cozy and inviting atmosphere. Try their Nicholson range of ales and gin. Sometimes there’s live bands.

Great Pies, highly recommend. Cask Ale selection was great

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and cold beer 👌

Great vibe, great pies and a variety of drinks on offer. Great place to relax after the St Giles fair as I and some freinds did . Definitely will visit again in the near future

Excellent cosy pub in central in central oxford

The food and atmosphere is amazing ! Very lovely staff and great outdoor garden definitely recommend:)

Incredible bar! Loved the Bar staff :) Izzy in particular made my day!!! Thank you for the amazing evening!

Great pub served by izzy extremely polite and friendly

Lovely one of my favourite pubs in Oxford. Been many times and always recommend to friends. Great every time

Friendly staff, good atmosphere Definitely be visiting again.

Lovely staff, and try the espresso martini from Avi! So good!

Nice place to have a staff party.

Sam was a brilliant host. The bangers and mash was exactly what I need after a day of shopping in Oxford!

Came here for food and drinks with friends and had a great time. Good service and fun atmosphere!

Nice cozy pub in the middle of Oxford! D was lovely

Used to be a favourite Oxford pub in my younger days. Early evening on a Sunday and it was food and a drink but not the buzzing place I remember. Probably due to my visit time and not the pub's fault. Great old building worth a visit.

I came here with my boyfriend and it superb I really recommend stopping in its dog friendly and the food is outstanding love the nachos here so much the staff are so amazing respecting my allergies and making sure the food was suitable for me such a wide range of drinks to choose from to suit anyone’s tastebuds and an out of this world atmosphere

The staff here are amazing really went above and beyond to provide outstanding service everyone was smiling and the food was impeccable really recommended for a family visit or just for a nice drink or bite to eat

Came in for a meal with my family the service was exceptional the atmosphere was great very friendly staff and very iconic pub really proud of the history and happy to help in any way they could changed items on my food order for me and done it with smiles on there face

Nice pub. Great selection of large and ale. Also some of the best food that I have had in Oxford. The staff were really helpful and made the visit very pleasant

Lovely traditional pub with a friendly welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Slightly disappointed with the condition of the ale when I visited recently and the pricing particularly of the food is questionable so moved on quickly. Still a nice pub to visit though.

Great gluten beer on tap and nice bar staff!

Been told to leave after being here with no reserve time on table. We said could we finish our drinks the waiter said no now you need to leave now. After spending a lot of money in there. The waiter so rude. Take your money somewhere else.

Matthew was an amazing server. He treated us well!

All good! Exactly the vibe we were looking for. Food much better than expected. Salads a bit wimpy...maybe not the best order. Brisket burger outstanding, so was lamb pie. Schnitzel very good.

Terrible service terrible , spent hours in the place to be told the table was booked for someone else even though nothing on the table was reserved for this, spent over hundred here to be pushed off the table, would not return! Absolutely shocking! The rude waiter should be ashamed

Great beer selection and service

Environment not up to par, dirty and sticky tables. We tried their pies (with meat etc), nothing special. Strange but certainly not unforgettable. I got their draft beer, hot!!! Good price

Joe is the man! Best service and cool vibes!! I would definitely recommend!

We shared a selection of hot snacks, very tasty. A proper pub in the centre of town.

Great service by Joe. Greetings from Germany

Such a great pub with great atmosphere. Joe is so lovely too!!

Amazing atmosphere and music! Had a great time with D!

Nice atmosphere!! Love the vibes on god 🩷🩷 especially D

We were on a group tour and made reservations for 10 people. Our table was ready when we arrived and the staff was most accommodating. Everyone really liked their food and drink. Very busy but fun atmosphere.

English atmosphere. Got here by chance and end up with excellent food and beer. Also staff is 5 stars. Thank you!

Zero service. Waited ages at a filthy table . Walked out . Don't bother.

Had a pint and some food here today, good food and friendly welcome, but very dark inside pub.

Quality pub with nice food and a good beer selection

Good location which reflects on the prices.. Good pint busy Atmosphere short on staff but a nice pub in all.. Would recommend it.

Very good food, we shared a platter it was very nice perfect when you are not too hungry. The pies looked delicious it a shame we didn't try them

Delicious food and great attention. Special recommendation: the meat pies and the nachos!!

A central Oxford pub with a nice outdoor courtyard. Wine was reasonably priced and very drinkable. Advertised their 'famous pies" so we duly ordered chicken and truffled mushroom, and a wild boar and chorizo pie. The former was adequate but the latter had little or no flavour and most definitely no chorizo. It was tasteless enough for us to ask if it was the right one - sadly, apparently it was. Edible but indistinct meat of unclear origin. Not recommended.

Cracking pub, watch the England games here and couldn't fault it

Awesome bartenders and amazing drinks. Super cute pub with amazing people!! Shoutout to Avi and Aaron for amazing service!

Great bartenders and people. Shoutout to Avi and Aaron yall are sick

Amazing atmosphere, drinks and service. Very kind staff including Izzy who served us drinks and made the experience great. Would recommend!

Excellent spot to relax, great options for snacking, good drinking selection. Please be aware that outside dining has smokers, for those who are unacostumed to the smell.

Watched a football game and had dinner here. In spite of the hectics, everything was well organized and it tasted good!

Historic bar with great hospitality! Must visit 🍻

A very good and cozy place in down town Oxford. A good range of drinks and food.

Great pub food was excellent

Lovely pub but..tables filthy never washed down for the next customer glasses not to good either... such a shame

Lovely staff and a exquisite level of customer service with some very passionately made cocktails. I would recommend this place especially If you are looking to make a romantic gesture with the significant other. The food is top notch and perfectly pleasant. Staff are lovely.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food, the atmosphere was great and the staff are very friendly.

Luv having a couple in here when in Oxford as was my old local when Oxford was my stomping ground. It's not really changed much since the 70/80's & still serves a nice pint ! Though alot more choice now . Did'nt eat here so cant comment on the food.

Prime location in the middle of the city centre. Has a great selection of lagers and ales on tap. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend for a casual drinker or more determined one.

Great staff! I always go for the beef brisket! Genuinely the best I’ve ever had.

Friendly atmosphere - good for groups.

Class night out staff were great

Lovely pint, incredibly welcoming and friendly!

Great service from the barman who talked about tge Whisky choices.

Phenomenal pint pouring from Sam

Very slow service…waiting 1 hour for your food is a joke. Others who came later had their food much earlier.

Service was absolutely great no problem at all the staff could not do enough to keep us all happy at a busy time I must say as well

What a lovely place to grab a drink, we came for a business meeting and this is now where we will hold all business meetings for the future. Ross was a great laugh and had good rapport with our whole group.

Great pub - very friendly staff! Matt and Ross were really helpful.

Great pub, great location. I had the Nicholson's burger and without doubt, the best burger I have ever had. Highly recommended.

Nice Pub in athmosphere and very friendly Service. We had the wild boar pie and left a little bit disappointed as we expected more game flavour andmore chorizo. The gravy and mash were delicious.

Service excellent. Staff very friendly and make u welcome

Great atmosphere good price worth a visit

Great menu and drinks options. Served quickly and atmosphere was nice!

Hugely let down by a member of staff who’s unable to maintain customer service, wearing headphones and being rude. Being allowed to buy a drink at 5 to 11 at night, can be frustrating but can’t be expected to leave at 5 past.. really let down by one member when the manager understood fully of the situation.

Accommodated a Traitors themed pub crawl with ease! 10/10!

Great pub! Come here for food a lot

Good little city centre pub. Menu substantial but didn’t order this visit. Great courtyard, warm and cosy.

Absolutely love Izzy brilliant bartender

A decent pub, with great variety of beers, right in the heart of Oxford!

Service was great. The fish goujons, haloumi fries and Guinness I had were delicious.

Fiona best bartender in the place! Love the people here it’s such vibe xx

Great atmosphere, food is incredible! That beef brisket is to die for ! Service from Fiona and Megan and deyaneyra was amazing ! Favourite pub in Oxford !

Had a great lunch on Sunday.. .everything was spot on. Recommend yo anyone wanting a city pub Sunday lunch..
