Super rude staff. I got a steak that was clearly well done after I ordered it pink, politely asked to change it and they gaslighted me saying it was pink- when clearly wasn’t. Refused to change it. Seating is uncomfortable and getting a waiter to come to ask for anything is impossible

I ordered a pink steak and they gave a overcooked one and I asked them to change it and they were quite rude and told me they could not do anything and argued with me that it was pink, which was for a fact not true. So I did not enjoy my time here as the waitress were rude specially when I asked them to change my food and did not help me at all

We visited this pub 3 or 4 times for drinks during a recent short stay in Oxford. The staff were friendly and the pub had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We didn't eat there but it became our 'go to' place for a drink when heading out for the evening and the beer and wine was good which is exactly what you want from a pub.

Ordered a drink said we were going to have food. Paid for drinks and not got told about the lunch deal incl drink. Asked if could include but said no. Food was very mediocre. Steak sandwiches was not what was described and bread was so dry. Crispy mashed potatoes also not crispy. Both beers tasted weird think due to taps not being clean. Very expensive compared to other places visited incl London. Not the best experience.

I went there for dinner on my first evening. Not understanding that I should order at bar, I was waiting. But that was the smallest problem. I ordered a pie. I don't eat peas and I sad that, so I got only mash potato and pie. Nothing to replace peas. OK, fine. Pie was good, though I did not eat it before, so I can't compare. But mash potato was just warmed, and not fresh. Waiter offered me fries when I was ordering, but why would I eat fries with a pie. When I was eating that sad mash potato, I understood. He also forgot to bring me my soda until I reminded him. In addition, there was food on the floor, and it was still early, so there was not too many guests there.

The atmosphere is that of a modern open large pub without much soul. The food is OK and reasonably priced. I had a flat iron steak with peppercorn sauce. The steak was tough but I ate most of it. The chips were nice. The Timothy Taylor’s beer was uninspiring with a thin head; although it was clear it had a floaty yeasty residue on the surface (See picture).

The pub was nice and we sat at a table that was reserved for 18.30. This was about 17.30. We got removed from the table at 18.00 because they have a policy of giving 30 mins flexibility. I was annoyed that the reserved sign on the table did not say it was reserved for 18.00. The whole point is to communicate the booking to other customers isn’t it? So make it clear. Pub was nice plenty of people eating. Ladies toilets were disgusting. 4 cubicles only 2 with locks and one of those was blocked. I dread to think what the levels of hygiene are like in the kitchen if the toilets are in that state.

This venue has certainly deteriorated in the last few months! Two of us had Abott Ale, only to have to take it back to the bar as it tasted off-we were subsequently told that others had complained the previous day, and it had been anticipated the the barrel had been changed then-obviously not! Two of us had steak pies, one of which was only half edible, all of us had cold plates, peas, and one, cold mash. On complaining, we were told that others had complained about the pies the previous day!! Theres a complacent pattern here of course. Needless to say, we will not be returning for some considerable time!

I went there with some friends and there was a minor issue with a drink that got resolved fairly quickly. however the server that gave us our food gave the wrong meal to the wrong person. I ordered a vegetarian meal and my friend took a meat option and he gave the wrong one to each of us. He also had an attitude when giving it to us that just made us feel like he wished he didn’t serve us. Thankfully my friend who eats meat had the first taste and noticed so the damage was avoided but it was definitely not something I’d expect to see in a pub that seems so high quality in terms of service and food. The bartenders were very nice and patient though!

The Wig & Pen never fails. Went out with friends for a afternoon drinks and a bit of a pub crawl and ended up staying there till close. Brought some drinks and got a seat downstairs. Decided to all eat there too and we are glad we did. The good was amazing, all of us leaving empty plates. We carried on drinking and built a great relationship up with the staff, who were brilliant, friendly and very helpful. They were very busy, but nothing was too much trouble and still had time to laugh and joke with you. We finished the night dancing away till close and all leaving having a very enjoyable day and night. Thanks team Wig & Pen. We have already planned our next night out there in a couple of weeks.

Aparte de Jake Stockford, que imho necesita ascender a la alta dirección i/c un pub Spoon, preferiblemente thOxford Swan & Castle, esta mina de oro apisonada (es decir, a la Compañía) de un pub es bastante pésima. A menudo, el servicio sutil, hostil al cliente o francamente grosero del personal de bar nuevo y más experimentado hasta gran parte de la administración allí, necesita ser abordado con mucha URGENCIA.

Finding this restaurant wasn't the easiest, I'd expect better signage especially considering it's located in a museum with not the easiest/clearest access. The service was poor and I found it tad rude. There was a mark on one of the plates so we asked to replace it, there was no apology or friendliness it was met with a stern face. When the replacement was given similarly, it was almost shoved onto us and with no words said. We were placed on a table and had pre-booked 4 afternoon teas, this reiterated by the waitress who greeted us. As the afternoon teas arrived the waited seemed annoyed that the table had been placed incorrectly and with napkins and cutlery next to the plate and the expression he gave was as if it was our fault and we did something wrong when that was how the table was laid and set. He was saying how there won't be enough room at the same time he was laying the afternoon tea another waitress simultaneous starting placing the drinks which was unhelpful to her colleague. The waiter then suddenly decided this table wasn't big enough and asked us to move. Again, the way it was said and the move was just chaotic and rude. No offer of help was given to move all the cutlery and drinks etc till after we moved them. I just found it very standoffish and unwelcoming and surprising that the staff didn't know what table was appropriate when it is their signature dish and they know better than anyone. I do not think I'd visit again or recommend it based on how I was treated. I'd expect a waitress to friendly say I apologise about a dirty plate and similarly I would expected to be seated appropriately but if not I'd expect it to be communicated in a friendly way such as I am sorry I think a bigger table will give you more room so you're not cramps let us set one up for you and then we'll let you know when it was ready.
