Being such a rare venue, there’s always a lot going on both inside the pub and in the surrounding area. Being within a thirty-minute drive from Oxford, so many events, concerts, theatres, and sights are accessible. In addition, Blenheim Palace is only twenty minutes away, ideal for their summer concerts and a trip to the palace itself.
Graduation ceremonies will be taking place from May through to November. Our decadent feasting menus and sharing steaks are a great way to celebrate with the family afterwards. We are ideally located in the picturesque countryside, just a 30-minute drive from Oxford university.
