What a great pub this is. A proper boozer. Great atmosphere, fantastic staff. And a fine selection of real ales. A real oasis from the proliferation of dial a pub options.

Las bebidas estaban bien, pero el concurso duró demasiado. Empezó a las 8. 00 pm y no terminó hasta las 11 . 30 pm. El anfitrión gofreó innecesariamente, y podría haber sido fácilmente una hora. El contenido del cuestionario estaba bien, pero si quieres uno corto, vete a otra parte.

Este pub tiene una buena selección de cervezas; las que tuvimos estaban en buen estado. Había rugby en vivo, pero en el área que estábamos sentados nadie estaba mirando y el sonido era intrusivo y distorsionado. Dos clientes, incluida la persona con la que estaba, preguntaron si se podía desactivar el sonido. El empleado del pub respondió que no se podía apagar, y si a la gente no le gustaba debería irse a otro lugar.

Reservamos una mesa para ver las seis naciones, para 15 personas. No se confirmó hora a la persona que lo reservó, lo único que solicitamos fue una mesa para el rugby ( 3 : 15 kick off). Llegamos alrededor de media hora antes del inicio, para que nos dijeran que nuestra mesa había sido regalada hace aproximadamente una hora, ya que la gente estaba “desesperada” No impresionado.

Este es un pub realmente encantador, sin duda merece los muchos elogios que recibe, la cerveza es genial, el ambiente es agradable y es un lugar muy cómodo para estar. Sin embargo, la música que suena en las noches es tan grave, que ni yo ni mis amigos podemos identificar qué canciones se están reproduciendo la mayor parte del tiempo.

Both excellent. Forgot to ask for my CAMRA discount. A CAMRA 2024 Good Beer Guide entry. Great pub to the side of the large and ugly shopping centre. A Titanic pub with lots of guest ales.

It's a decent pub, friendly pleasant atmosphere with very good selection of draught beer and cider. The one thing I'd change is the very 'high' seating and the tables in the corner are too big to squeeze past comfortably. Minor thing for an otherwise perfect pub in a very central location.

This is the best pub in Oxford for beer, by quite a long way. As they don’t dilute their time by doing food, attention is given to keeping some wonderful ale. Loads of choice. Mainly Titanic and White Horse breweries, but a few others too. Staff consistently pleasant and friendly. Give it a try - beer drinkers won’t be disappointed!

A friend had recommended The Royal Blenheim and after a very disappointing visit to the Lamb & Flag earlier that day we decided to try them out. I’m normally more of a craft beer drinker but I do like a well looked after cask beer and this place did not disappoint, a well poured pint great staff and a really nice atmosphere. Too top it off a few of my regulars and Ian from Beard of Destiny were in at the same time so we will be back. Keep up the good work.

Heartless management that lack compassion I booked the Black Boy Pub at 7.30pm on Friday 4th April as my 6 month old baby boy had pneumonia and had been referred to the John Radcliffe hospital for potential surgery. I assumed that we would be admitted for the night, however, to our surprise we were sent back to another hospital (where my son spent the weekend recovering). I sent a cancellation request and phoned/asked the pub to waive the refund charge. Despite agreeing to, they never did and have refused to return my calls or provide a refund. Completely heartless profiteering off a baby’s poor health showing a total lack of compassion.
