The Red Lion in Oxford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A very friendly place to park and have a good drink, on the outskirts of Oxford.

Rustic, original English pub with a very good selection of beer and excellent cuisine. Ate here twice and tried various things on the menu (English / Indian / vegetarian). Delicious ! Large and quiet parking lot in the back of the yard.

Motorhome stopover, pleasant and free in exchange for having your meal on site. Very good meal and nice ad.

Tasty Sunday roast, had 2 options which vegetarians today which is refreshing. Good portion size. Very quick service. Always friendly and a great selection of drinks.

Great staff good prices clean and safe great place for camper vans

Great food and good service here. I had the Hunters Chicken, it was as good as it gets and generous portion.

We stayed here in our motorhome for three nights. What a great little find. This is a great pub, the food is excellent, very reasonably priced and the portion sizes are very generous. The staff are lovely. Real ales and home cooked food in a great pub , what more can I say. Very very happy customer xxx

Great pub. Cosy interior, friendly staff and delicious food for reasonable prices. We stayed at their car park with our camper for one night. Plenty of space and nice level grounds. It's free to stay if you drink or eat something in the pub.🙏 To visit Oxford, it's only a half an hour walk and it's a beautiful walk too, mostly going through parks. Absolutely recommended!!

Called in on a Sunday and had the fish and chips and it was excellent, highly recommended. Large car park at rear but decided not to stay over in motorhome and continue home but I would definitely stay over here in our van in the future. Bus stop directly opposite the pub.

Absolutely 💯 💯 the staff were fantastic as were the zodiacs what a great time we had watching them as usual they gave their best, and more

Behind the pub there is a large area that can accommodate a few motorhomes. We were able to stand for free and both walked into town and took the bus that stops next to the pub.

We were there with the motorhome and were warmly welcomed. The food was absolutely great. Home cooking. Exactly what a tourist needs 💪

Loved this place. From landlady down to the paint on the gate! What a lovely place. Smart, clean, comfy, warm, welcoming and relaxing. Even when 40+ people came in and wanted food, the staff coped so well and still managed to honour all previously placed orders. Even the fella washing the pots asked if my meal was ok!!! The food was lovely as were the hand pulled ales. The service and initial welcome was great. I actually "stopped over" in my motor home as I was supporting my Son who was at the local Churchill Hospital. They asked for nothing but to have a beer and a bite So pleased to have found this place, serviced by solid, reliable, helpful staff. Truly fantastic. Will be back 5 Star PLUS!

Family-friendly, pet-friendly. Lovely staff. Solid pub fare, good range of drinks. Great ambiance no matter the weather and time of year. Huge yard for sunny days, and cozy old building with charcoal/wood fires in Winter. Easily my favourite local "watering-hole".

Thursday 30th May held the wake of our mother at this venue… the staff ( mother and daughter) were wonderful .. the food , including gluten free and salads were amazing . … plenty for everyone Thank you Ladies !

Such a lovely place. Made very welcome in our motorhome and a green area to exercise our dog. All is required is to eat there. That wasn't a problem. The food was well priced and delicious. We would go back.

Very good pub grub, big portions, well made, good service, a nice village pub with a large outdoor area, perfect on a sunny day.

What a gem, we called first to park our motorhome in the car park and the owner explained that food finished at 3pm, we didn't arrive in time for food but had a drink in the bar, staying in the carpark overnight.... great quite night's sleep, we were moving on the next morning but it was an easy bike ride into Oxford centre from here so decided to see if we could stay another night.....the pub wasn't open on a Monday so I rang but no answer.....cheakily we decided to cycle in anyway.....I called again at lunch time and the owner answered, I apologised and explained we left the motorhome there and she was so lovely about it, allowing us to stay that night even though they weren't open. I'd love to thank them for their hospitality and would definitely recommend the red lion it's a great pub,with lovely outside space, friendly staff, a great location and a fantastic owner....and next time we will have some food 👍😁💕

Thanks. It's really great here. Very friendly. Great successful team, great hospitality. All the best to the team. Thanks for the great place 🚐 Greetings from the Hanoverians.

Great selection of draft beers and delicious food. Very friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere !

Really nice place, we spend the night here with our motorhome in the parking lot behind the pub. Good food and wide variety of beers from the tap

Stayed overnight in our motorhome, booked ahead & had table waiting for us. Great food, fast service & good quality & quantity. Flat grass pitch with easy access. No charge as we ate in the pub. Highly recommend.

This is lovely traditional pub with good food and a pleasant atmosphere. Staff are polite and helpful. Reasonably priced.

Nice friendly pub, nice food and good service. I stopped in my motorhome, they have overnight stops for self contained motorhomes

Good food and good beer. Very good service, very nice place. It has a good terrace and parking for its clients. They welcome their BritStop customers wonderfully.

Had a lovely time staff and everyone very friendly 😊

Great Pub, Friendly, Good food. Plus you can stay in your camper van for free in there secure car park. Win WIn :)

Great place to go before the football!

Great scoff & drinks with super friendly and helpful people!

It's a very clean and cosy place. The staff was very professional as well.

Great pub overnight stay in motorhome. Staff are friendly, and the food was very good. The pub was very busy in the evening. Which is always a good sign. We'll definitely visit again.

Friendly service. My first time lamb shank with peppermint in the sauce - not again for me. The shank was well cooked though, and the salmon was really good.

Great pub with good food in a pretty village. Bus stop across the road and just a few stops to Oxford city centre so very convenient. Note that there are no toilets available overnight

Nice pub , with parking spaces for motorhomes and camper vans. Very clean and friendly. Bus stop outside the door for easy access into Oxford centre.

Stayed in our motorhome to visit the Oxford Literary Festival. Has a lovely meal with my sister and brother in law in the evening. Good food and great service. Deal is free stay if you eat in the pub. Convenience if visiting Oxford and in on bus route.

Great little spot . My son and I love parking our caper and using the pub for some food .

We had another wonderful Mothers Day roast today, fabulous staff and amazing food as always. The Mother's Day gift a lovely touch and always greatly appreciated. Well done to all the team for all of your hard work. 😍

Haven't been here for a few years but my Brother in Law suggested we go here for Sunday Lunch. The main course was excellent and served incredibly quickly. However my desert was very disappointing, Strawberry Eton mess with tinned strawberries ( which were warm ) and a small amount of meringue and Ice cream, £7. To cap it all there was a couple sat 2 tables away from us who had a Dog with them who Barked/Yapped all the way through our Lunch, at times we couldn't hear what we were saying. Not the best experience.

Lovely homely pub dog friendly good food. Real fire. Plenty of parking and also welcomes campervans

Lovely pub, good food, friendly staff

We stopped there with our campervan, they have a large car park that can be used by us. The deal is buy food, drink or both, the place is a lovely old pub serving good food and drink. It was fairly full when we arrived at 2020 with more arriving, we had just a main meal each which were extremely good portions. We will be back as it's on the bus route to Oxford so a great place to spend a couple of nights, but please remember the deal and support the pub

Sehr Schöner Pub mit Kamin und guten Bieren. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall bei der nächsten UK Reise vorbei.

Fantastic stop over for motor home's great food, thank you 😊

Amazing first class consistently good what a fantastic couple of hours live music thank you it was perfect

I'm converted after the best sticky toffee pudding and Abbot Ale. Watched tennis. Chilled. Nice atmosphere. Lovely service. January 2024......superb roast pork Sunday roast.

Travelled over in our motor home to see friends. Fabulous food, great range of beer. Very friendly & efficient staff. They are very happy to have over night stays for free, with part hard standing part grass Many thanks, we had a great stay

Stopped here when travelling in my motorhome. I found the staff very pleasant and the Dinner and Dessert excellent.

We stayed at the Red Lion in our camper van over the New Year. The food was excellent. Scampi and chips + ham, eggs and chips with a side of onion rings. Crisp and perfect! The beer was good too and a great atmosphere.

Lovely froe day pub, nice atmosphere, tasty food, short bus ride into Oxford

Had a meal with my friend. Food was great,plenty of it and it was hot & tasty. Diana was very welcoming and lovely. A really nice friendly, family atmosphere. We will definitely be eating there again 😋👍👌

A great Saturday afternoon made welcome by all footie darts and banter. Thanks for the chips👍👏

Fantastic food and great service 😊

I am genuinely disappointed, we were really looking forward to going back for a lovely Sunday lunch. We will not be going back.

We stayed for a night in our campervan which is free if you buy food and drinks. The burgers and chips were lovely and the staff very helpful.

Great place. Great atmosphere. Awesome that the Red Lion is welcoming to campervans and provide overnight parking. Visited when there was a Halloween fancy dress theme in the pub, which was amazing. Massive thumbs up to the Big Bad Wolf...best costume I've seen in years. Will recommend this lovely country pub, which is 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk to Oxford city centre.

Great people dog friendly fantastic food

My family and I visited the Red Lion last weekend, the food was amazing staff fab had a lovely meal highly recommended this pub great value for money

We visited because of an away game at Oxford City FC.

The food has consistently been good whenever we eat here and the staff are always friendly.

Stayed the night in our motor home, great food, location, staff and service second to none, sound nights sleep, thank you 😊

A lovely friendly welcoming old english pub and good service

Good food. I had a pizza and it was tasty and fairly substantial for the price. Plenty of beers to choose from. Good landlord and staff.

Every time we go there, everything is superb.

Proper pub with great beers,food and staff. Wish I lived closer it would be my local.👍💙

Stopped in for a drink after football, lovely little spot, food looked awesome 👌

Great pub with lots of outdoor space

Wohnmobil Stellplatz. Das ist ein super Spot. Hinter dem Pub steht man wirklich gut. Es gibt zwar keinen Wohnmobil-Service, aber solange der Pub geöffnet hat, kann man zumindest dessen WC nutzen. Diese sind sauber und ordentlich. Der Deal, Essen oder Trinken im Pub gegen Stellplatz ist super fair. Die Leute im Pub sind sehr freundlich, Getränke und Essen sind völlig ok. Vielen Dank an den Wirt. Wir bleiben 2 Nächte.

Great pub with a large beer garden. Great choice of Real ales. Here for football. Excellent away supporters pub but needs more staff on to keep up with demand.

Very friendly staff first class service. Food reasonably priced and good pub menu.

Friendly service, great staff and an absolutely top notch roast dinner which will keep me full for the next few days!

No podemos estar más agradecidos por permitir la pernocta con autocaravana en sus instalaciones. Hay buen ambiente, la comida está exquisita a un precio adecuado y el personal es muy amable. ¡Muchas gracias por vuestra hospitalidad!

Aunque el parking para autocaravanas no dispone de ningún servicio, es muy cómodo porque ahí mismo tienes la parada de el bus con un pequeño, pero bonito trayecto hasta el centro de Oxford. Aparcar cuesta 20 libras que bien puedes pagar en mano o gastarlo en consumiciones dentro del pub, esa fue nuestra opción. Volveremos!

Just dropped in for a quick drink when passing on a warm afternoon. The Wadsworth 6X was in fine condition. Good selection of gins too. We didn't eat (too late in the afternoon) but the menu looked to be a good range of standard pub grub. Next time, perhaps.

Very friendly, nice location scrumptious food and free overnight camper parking. Perfect location.

I would have given them 5 stars, but they gave us dirty cutlery for our sweet. But apart from that, they were excellent.

Schöner Stellplatz für's Wohnmobil. Besitzer sehr nett und Hilfsbereit.

My husband had the fish n’ chips and an IPA, everything was cooked well and tasted great. I had this delicious curry that was a bit of a surprise, but very welcome after jet lag/travel and a cold, rainy day. It was spiced well, not over spicy and well-balanced. Very tasty meal in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The owner really goes above and beyond in terms of service and running a great local pub. We will certainly return and recommend. Prices were quite reasonable and the food is approachable and very comforting.

Heerlijke plek . Vlakbij oxford we zijn er naar toe gewandeld. Door de velden en parken 45 min . Vriendelijk personeel . Lekker gegeten Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding .

Bei unserem Eintreffen gab es leider kein Essen mehr. Wir haben auf dem Wohnmobilstellplatz kostenlos übernachtet. Toller Ausgangspunkt für einen Trip in die Stadt

Good food and ok beers, parked our van overnight in the car park and took the 14 bus into Oxford.

Had dinner and stayed overnight in the camper. Lovely little spot to stay!

Top landlord parking free for campers just use pub couldn't be better

Proper village pub with large outside seating area

Second Sunday on the trot both Sundays great food from roast to fish and chips

Recently found the Red Lion - am local but had never been before. Had an ex-work colleagues Christmas meal there and all enjoyed the food, service & atmosphere. Have been back twice since and on each occasion the food, staff and atmosphere was the same! Good value & clearly the landlady/landlord/family and their team are doing their best to provide a good service to their customers. Witnessed on one occasion a superb buffet laid out for a large number of people; this didn’t impinge on the service offered to us - thanks to all at the Red Lion & the hard-working team/chef!

Excellent overnight stay in our motorhome - car park level - plenty space. Food was delicious and very well priced. Staff and pub very welcoming. Didn't make it in to Oxford (35 min walk away) but will definitely be back. Look on website to check motorhome parking availability and also table for meal.

This food was absolutely pogtastic! Finally some proper British scran! Top nosh! This stuff was bussin'! We were served by a lovely geezer.

We stayed overnight in our motorhome thank you for allowing us to stay. Nice walk into Oxford through the park. Lovely outside seating area with lots of flowers. Good parking for Motorhomes. We enjoyed an evening meal and drinks staff were very friendly and welcoming.

What a great place. Highly recommended. Gluten free selection was excellent, pizzas, curries, chips, salmon all excellent. What a great place, we will be visiting again

Last minute decision to find a place to eat before heading back to North West and what a great choice. Trip Advisor reviews made this a sensible choice and we were not disappointed. Lovely welcoming pub tucked away just off the A34 / Marston area. Friendly welcome and lovely menu consisting of quality pub grub. Chose the full rack of ribs & sweet potato fries aswell as the Indian spiced Lamb burger with fries and spicey Mayo. Got to be the best pub food we’ve had in years. Freshly made and cooked to perfection and HOT !!! Lovely atmosphere with great choice of drinks for all. Chocolate fudge cake with caramel ice cream to finish which did not disappoint. The owner / manager is clearly passionate about delivering quality food and service and this is a gem of a place.

Last minute decision on the way home from the Cotswolds, popped in to see if we could get a table for Sunday dinner, had a nice welcome from the barman who put himself out to see if we could get a table as we hadn't booked, we was in luck, we both had the roast beef, well couldn't ask for better, probably the best roast we have had out ever, he was a proper home made roast, couldn't fault it in any way,shame we don't live closer otherwise we would be a regular on a Sunday.

Local pub by the side of the road through Marston village. Well renovated with original character retained. Good range of beers and ciders. Welcoming atmosphere. Good food locally prepared. All in all a very pleasant surprise.

Excellent food, hospitality and you can stay with your motorhome. On bus route to Oxford also you can walk or cycle to Oxford.

We did a Motorhome Stopover here, on our way to the West Country. (Motorhomes can overnight free of charge as long as you patronise the pub) What a find! Well kept delightful village pub, lovely friendly staff and great food 😊 We will definitely stop here again - highly recommended.

The Red Lion was a very lovely treat during our stay in Oxford. Not sure if they have taken the opportunities to remodel during COVID as it does not really resemble the pictures - it has gorgeous mid century modern furniture and a modern looking bar. We had the festive menu lunch special of two turkey sandwiches with tomato soup and everything was outstanding! The espresso martinis were the best I've had in a long time and the service was fantastic. The place is absolutely massive and quite chic - will definitely return on my next trip through Oxford

A quiet carpark overnight, very pleasant pub, the food was good we had spare ribs and chips with a side salad , a nice motorhome stop. recomended

Necesitábamos un lugar para pasar una noche con Our Motorhome. The Red Lion le permite quedarse mientras compre su comida en el Pub. El campo está justo al lado del Beer Garden, todo está muy limpio y ordenado. Tomamos unas copas en el jardín ya que hacía mucho calor y luego tuvimos nuestra comida, que fue absolutamente genial. Parece un pub de pueblo muy elegante, y la señora que lo dirige es extremadamente agradable y acogedora. Aunque hay una carretera cerca, tuvimos una noche tranquila y dormimos bien.

Debo disculparme por la revisión tardía.Paramos de camino a Alemania el año pasado en agosto. Un amigo me recomendó este encantador Pub ya que puedes pasar la noche con tu Moho.Tuvimos una cálida bienvenida cerveza fría y comida caliente que estaba deliciosa. Los precios también eran razonables. Una estancia fantástica volverá a llamar de camino a Dover y le recomendará. Gracias de nuevo por hacernos sentir tan bienvenidos

I’ve been to the Red Lion a couple of times but today I had the Fish and Chips, crisp batter, beautifully cooked flaky fish, the chips were crispy and the tartare sauce appeared to be home made. The reason for my review though is the Lemon Meringue Pie, all my days, divine! A great massive slice, so tart and full of citrus tang with two big scoops of ice cream (or cream or custard). Then my cousin had the Lemon Meringue Sundae, what can I say! Visit the Red Lion if only for the desserts!

1st time visitor, I'm definitely going back. Had the Sunday roast, absolutely lovely, way too much for me to manage. Good food, good price, great service. Would definitely recommend.
