Reviews of Red Lion Oxford
A. S.
Good place for lunch. Accepts online reservation, although it's so big you may not need one. Food was good, if a bit too salty, as most pub food is.
Food arrived in 10 minutes, which is super quick by any standard.
And finally, thank you Nell for the lovely service!
D. V.
The food was incredible!! The mushy peas were amazing and the fish and chips and starters were great as well! Loved the order by phone and the toilet was incredible space as well. Food and the drinks were great but the customer service let them down. A lot of the staff really felt like they did not wanted to serve the customers and when we asked for water, we were asked to get it ourselves which was ok but it could have been said nicer. A lot of the tables were not cleaned so if this can be fixed it will be even better. The insides atmosphere is quite different to the garden outside so having some continuation will be even better. Incredible food thou!!
N. V.
The food was excellently prepared by Joe (chef) and served by Nell (the kindest and friendliest waitress).
We chose 2 Dirty burgers as mains, which were one of the best burgers I've had in the UK ( I try one in every town/city I visit): the meat was of good quality, perfectly grilled and soft to bite. The Caesar salad was also very tasty. Unfortunately, no pictures uploaded of the burgers, as they were consumed immediately :)
As dessert, we selected the churros and the toffee pudding: both were very rich, flavourful and tasty and, especially the churros, were on a different level!
The Red Lion is a definite "must visit" for food when in Oxford-I know I will !!!
C. P.
Food was absolutely beautiful, although pricey most definitely worth the money the service is amazing and they really take a attention to detail to the next level, greeted by friendly accommodating staff , the quality of everything they do is just stunning. Would definitely recommend.
D. M.
What a great evening here at the Red Lion- a hip spot with a diverse and tasty menu and fabulous service. I wish I had taken pictures of my food, but I inhaled it all too quickly- and Phoebe is fantastic. She was a delightful presence and offered superb service for us.
K. C.
Our dining experience was the best. The sea bass was excellent. Service from Nell was ‘top shelf’ I would recommend the Red Lion to anyone looking for a great dinner in Oxford.
d. r.
Nell is amazing! She took great care of our insane group and did it with a smile. We were a tough crowd! :) make sure you have Nell as your server!!!
R. H.
Great food, sumptuous decor, and the best ladies' toilets I've ever seen. I kind of wanted to just hang out there all day! Nell was a fantastic server - friendly and happy to work with our large group.
N.
Lovely pub, central Oxford. Has a good range of drinks to choose from, excellent service by Jordan. Haven't eaten here but the meals look good. Comfy seats, nice outdoor area. Superb clean toilets. Would Recommended a visit and will definitely be coming back!
E. B.
I think that the outside seating and interior design for this establishment is some of the best in the area. My only improvement would be speed of service. I did have to wait 10 minutes to get served one round of drinks because there was only one person behind the bar at the time. I understand that the service industry is struggling nationally for lack of staff so completely understandable.
I haven't tried the food, but all the meals I observed did look very presentable so might have to give it a try one day. I still would recommend going here, especially to enjoy the garden.
J. B.
Recently refurbished and refreshed menu. Date night experience was amazing with the help from Nell who was ever diligent with my allergies and made sure everything I ordered was safe for me to eat and she made sure we had everything we needed. Food was amazing, vibe was great and decor was stylish 10/10
G. T.
Very nice pub, lovely interior and an outside area with lots of seating. Really lovely toilets, clean and roomy. We had 2 bowls of chips, which were very nice, went to the bar to get some more and were told that the chef had gone home and they didn't have any other staff to cook them. 🙁 It was my granddaughter's 20th birthday but unfortunately the drinks were too expensive so we had to leave to go somewhere cheaper.
W. J.
Spacious pub with very classy decor even in the toilets! Nice atmosphere, good menu choices and the food was great quality. We had a very friendly efficient server. Unfortunately didn't get her name but she was polishing cutlery when we left! Would definitely return when visiting Oxford
M. B.
Fantastic meal today. Served by Nell who was welcoming and friendly. She was incredibly helpful as a member of the party had gluten and dairy intolerances. She made her feel at ease and gave all information she needed to choose her meal. Thank you for today, it was the perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day!
R. J.
It was great! Fantastic service... we booked a table for 18 and we all enjoyed the food and the facilities. They were very flexible with the booking. The food was delicious.
P. A. B.
Great lunch with the family at the Red Lion. Scallops were delicious, the pork belly super tasty and the kids loved the fish and chips and burger. Our waiter, Nell, was fantastic! She made great suggestions and was extremely nice and helpful. Thanks Nell for making our lunch a great experience!
L. H.
We had a wonderful experience this evening from being greeted at the door, the food was perfect to the most excellent service provided by Nell! She was one of the best servers we have had ever! Responsive, good follow up, very sweet. She’s a keeper!!
S. M.
My favourite pub in Oxford. Great seating outside when the weather is great but also really nice inside. The food is good with the cod being huge. Near the market area so perfect location.
R. H.
Had a great tome here. Food was quite good, especially the appetizers. The pork belly and scallops were ok, id stick to fish and chips or something more simple. Drinks were good, bar was clean and modern clean bathrooms upstairs which was nice. Skip the Billionaire fries hahaha, nothing special.
T. B.
Nell is the greatest server. For a group of 14 folx, she was patient and helpful. We ordered drinks, entrees and dessert while eating in their upstairs private room. It was a wonderful intimate dining experience and we appreciate Nell for making it happen.
R. C.
Nell was a brilliant waitress: friendly, efficient and a real laugh. Great food (I had the pork belly). Lovely decor and a fab atmosphere. Will return.
K. C.
Me and my friend had our graduation dinner a week ago and we think Nell is wonderful!
T. J.
A welcoming pub/restaurant with a great ambience and genuine staff. If you're looking for someplace to eat with an English town pub setting in a central location then look no further. Our waitress Nel was very attentive and provided 5* service. Would recommend 👌🏻🙂
A. M.
We had an amazing service for our first family roast. My mum flew in from Canada and Nell and Laura made it such a special experience. Thank you very much!
D. T.
Poped in for lunch as we was passing by, I had the tbone steak my partner a pizza, the food was amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection. Lovely atmosphere, our waitress Nell was extremely helpful and attentive. Could not recommended enough.
P. C.
We had a wonderful dinner at the Red Lion Inn! Our server, Nell, was outstanding. She couldn’t have been more attentive and she anticipated all of our needs. I would highly recommend the Red Lion Inn!
N. K.
Nell was an outstanding server! As a group of 10+ we were definitely a lot but she handled it well. Great food and a great experience!
C. G.
Great atmosphere, large outdoor space, but food expensive for incredibly small portions and not tasty enough to make up for that. Friendly staff but not enough of them. Would in future only come back for drinks in the sun.
M. G.
Really good Sunday roast. I had pork belly. Spot on. Recommend.
M. P.
Nice atmosphere, excellent location.Thank you !
j. c.
Nice gardens out back and very pleasant decor and atmosphere inside. Very posh toilet and felt clean. Didn't eat here but real ale on offer.
D. G.
One of the best Sunday Roast I've ever had. Nell treated us very kindly. The place is beautiful inside. Definitely recommend you this place.
H. L.
Thank you Nell! Excellent food for a decent price, fast service and a lovely atmosphere. Even the toilets were lovely 😊
M. L. A.
We went for a family lunch and it was really delicious. Our server Nell was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
A. P.
Excellent food and fantastic service. Neil our waitress and host was absolutely brilliant. Would highly recommend
L. A.
I came for lunch today and the pizza was delicious. The atmosphere was lovely and so was pur server Nell, who I cannot thank enough for our impeccable service.
O. S.
My son and I went for a special GCSE results dinner and it was really delicious last Sunday. Nell, was a great waitress and was so helpful so thanks!
P. M.
Good food. Better wine list than a lot of places in the area. A little posh.
T. C.
Very expensive for the quantity of food. I had the crispy duck bao bun and didn't even had a tablespoon of duck. Friends had the scallops and for nearly £12 only had three scallops that were tough. I had the seabass for main course and it only had two small new potatoes underneath the fish. Very disappointing and expensive for what it is!
C. M.
Had a lovely meal here. Service by Nell was great, would definitely recommend!
J. R.
Lovely place, great staff, our waitress was Nia, great service great food. Perfect!
K. B.
Came here for Sunday lunch with a friend. We both had a roast dinner . The service was a little slower than we had initially expected but when it arrived the food was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous! We were served by a waitress who my friend believes was called 'Nel' who we were highly impressed by especially after hearing she is only 17 . We hope to come again when we return to the city in the summer!
H. M.
My husband and I were absolutely blown off our feet when we visited the red lion last night: the atmosphere was calm and the service was astonishing- so good on all accounts that I asked our waitress Nell for everyone’s name so I could thank them personally as it was difficult to catch everyone last night so thank-you so much Alice, Olivia, Scarlett, Sandra and especially Nell (those little touches of excellence and personal service did not go unnoticed!). My only regret is not asking for the chefs’ names as the food was above and beyond our expectations as well..
T. b.
My husband and I had the most lovely three course meal here last night. Every aspect of the meal was delicious and the service was incredibly well judged: attentive but not intrusive. A job well done by all involved, thank you!
A. M.
Came last night and the food and service was lovely! Thank you to Alish and Nia for serving us!
S. M.
Came for dinner with my husband, food was delicious and service was quick and professional. Staff were friendly and accommodating, especially our lovely waitress Nell - chatty and charismatic with good communication! Facilities were also lovely. An amazing experience, would definitely return
P. M.
Relaxed atmosphere, very efficient service, excellent barman. Food nicely prepared. A couple of real ales on tap. A bit pricey but it is in the centre of Oxford.
D. H.
Such a great place. We were visiting on holiday and can highly recommend this place. We had the pork belly sharer which was so good! Special mention to Nell who was really helpful and answered all my questions! Also best toilets I’ve ever been in at a restaurant!
E. D.
Very good service when we came for lunch. Nell was very friendly and helpful.

Outstanding meal and service tonight. Nel - your attentiveness, friendliness and wonderful service has made our evening extra special. Thank you so much. We’ll be back x
O. S.
On Friday night, I had the most delicious sea bass and chorizo with the suitable choice of Sauvignon blanc. The waitress, Nell, was a most delightful young lady and worked attentively and carefully. Her knowledge of the pub and the menu was spot on and very helpful. Such a lovely civilised but lively environment to enjoy our meal with a special thank you to Nell!
L. C.
Stunning venue, the best ladies toilets I have ever seen. The bar staff are brilliant too.
A. M.
Great dog friendly pub. Food was delicious, outside dining area nice and relaxed and my daughters thought the bathrooms were amazing!

Came to the Red Lion by chance while out looking for an impromptu Friday evening dinner. We were accommodated without a booking, the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and attentive. We tried a delicious cocktail recommended by the waiter. For dinner we shared a baked Camembert which was divine followed by the Chateaubriand steak which was cooked to perfection and tasted phenomenal. What a fantastic find. Have already planned to come back for a birthday with friends. Definitely worth a visit!
D. C.
Really good food, went to the playhouse and when we got out wanted a Sunday roast. The Red Lion was just around the corner and we just walked in and they accommodated us straight away. Staff really helpful, nice atmosphere and the most important the roasts were really tasty and a good portion size!
P. M.
We had a family meet up here today. We were well catered for, the food and service was wicked.
E. T.
Tasty food. Great servíce.

K. P.
Nell was amazing, courteous and all round great waitresses, felt very looked after
J. B.
Went to lunch last Saturday to meet some friends we hadn't seen for a long time. One of our group is pregnant and quite cautious about the covid situation so we asked to be seated in a quieter spot. The staff went out of their way to make everyone comfortable and I think even kept a neighbouring table clear to give us some more space. The food was great too! Will be back again
A. F.
We went on Saturday night and it was busy and so was everywhere else. So, we arrived early and waited for our table. Waited ages to get a drink. Eventually, got sat down, expecting service to improve but it was still pretty slow. Food was good and the room was nice.
K. H.
Beautiful dog friendly pub in the centre of Oxford. Lovely friendly staff and really great food. We had a lovely lunch and our dogs enjoyed the visit too
s. m.
Wow... looks like an old style British pub from the outside but when you walk in the modern decor looks great. The table service very good and our waitress was very attentive. Food was absolutely amazing and top class.
I'd definitely recommend a visit but you'll need to book as it very popular.
C. M.
The food was great and our server Nell was so nice !! :)
A. G.
A good pub, good selection of food but is on the expensive side. Has a good beer selection and I had good service when I visited. Well situated to the centre of Oxford so is quite easy to get to, is quite nice for it's beer garden in the summer or during the day. Would recommend
J. P.
Expensive over £5 for a pint of ale. Food looked nice but prices were again dear.
H. S.
Nell and Ava were brilliant, 10/10 and I hope the competition goes well!
G. W.
I’ve been here before and everything was wonderful but Today I was eating my food in the garden with mice running all over the place tables not cleared after people left encouraging the mice
F. S.
Great food and service, waitress Nell was so helpful.

Really great service. Lovely atmosphere.
j. m.
I came to the red lion for a weekend lunch with my fiancé a few weeks ago: I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The amazing food was matched by attentive and professional service from our waitress Nell who, despite apparently being quite new, was smiley, knowledgable and delivered a top notch experience. We will return!
G.
Great meal - server Nell was amazing, very helpful with allergies and lovely server x
S. L.
Quite loud music really really good food and nice atmosphere, helpful staff. Order from app at table.
M. P.
I am not normally one to leave reviews but the Sunday lunch experience received here today certainly merits one. The roast dinners were to die for and nothing seemed to be too much for our waitress Nell who was one of the mostly lovely youngsters I have ever met: chatty, polite and highly skilled and competent. The toilets are also exquisite…. Photo attached! All the staff deserve a huge round of applause for an excellent team effort on what was clearly a hectic day; it’s well worth a visit.
p. g.
Nice pub good beers and food great atmosphere and a lovely beer garden.
T. J.
Fabulous roast dinner and very good service. Few things missing from the menu as they'd been so busy, but all the food we had was delicious and plentiful!
M. W.
Great atmosphere, good food and the waitress was really efficient.

Great food, lovely pub, pur waitress Nell was great
J. C.
Went there for a Sunday lunch after Oxford Half Marathon. There were 30 of us so we preordered which was straightforward. The service, food and drink were all excellent. They put us in our own separate area which worked perfectly for such a big group. We all thought the food was great (especially my brie and lamb) and really good value for 3 courses for £25. The Red Lion staff were really attentive and also accommodating when one of our party couldn't make it and amended the order with no problem. They made the experience really easy and special. Would definitely recommend for big groups or if coming from outside of Oxford as pub is in great location if heading to the train station after
D. A.
My bartenders Nia, Izzy and Dan were soo good. Thank you!!
S. B.
Lovely time. Fabulous small platters at a reasoanble price. Great vibe in the sunshine! And the ladies loos are a work of art.
F. W.
Went here for Sunday lunch very nice friendly staff and very good food ,had a nice relaxing dinner some may think service was slow but it suited our party as we were in no rush.
I would have given 5stars but my only grip was the portion sizes for the meat dishes and the dessert a touch on the small side .but would recommend and will visit again .
L. S.
Really delicious food and great service by Nell who was brilliant.
K. P.
Fantastic In a nutshell. So much so that we went back the next day! Food was simply divine, drinks were great and the staff were polite and well presented. We visited numerous other eateries in oxford and this was by far the best all rounder! Well done to all that work there!!
J. C.
We stopped here on the off chance as the kids were starving. Its really nicely done out inside. Very comfortable table. Mens toilets were nice, womens toilets were incredible according to my wife and daughters who spent 10 mins just taking pics of themselves in there. The food was really good. The food was a little slow to come out and the waiter ( who I think was new and a touch nervous) was very apologetic about it but it wasn't a problem. The place was so nice, you didn't mind spending more time in there than you had to. Actually thinking about it, the food was very nice. Just thought I should pull more attention to it. Give it a go
H. W.
Lovely food and Nell was a great server 😁
d. h.
Good food, good drinks menu, nice staff, nothing else to add!

The Red lion has too be a must when coming to Oxford city. We had such a great experience. Food top notch. Staff super friendly and excellent service. Extremely cheap.
M. M.
Nell was fantastic!! Food was great! Lovely experience.
A. P.
Spent 2 hours here today in the garden, really very pleasant, I had booked a table and they gave us a choice when we arrived, ordered on the table barcode and drinks came very promptly, later ordered food which came in a good time, my cod and chips was lovely, really hot and the chips were handmade and very tasty, margarita pizzas were good and cheeseburger with fries was yummy (not all for me I may add 🤭) the washrooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean. Positioned 2 minutes walk from either the New Theatre or the Playhouse. Overall a great visit and I would recommend 😁
r. h.
Nell was amazing and gave me and my friends amazing service for my mates birthday
D. R.
Lovely food, and service. Nel to win free stuff. 😁 👍

C. A.
My first visit to the Red Lion Oxford - excellent food (recommend pan fried seabass) and refreshing to see young people providing a great service - thank you to Maddie and Liam
M.
Very nice, quirky pub. Food is fantastic albiet on the higher end of cost. The atmosphere was very nice and our servers were very friendly! The décor is a cross between random shapes and colours that pulls the whole room together. Take a look at the menu in advance. The dirty cheese burger with the beef dripping sauce and the Hoi sin duck salad were both very very good!
N. R.
We had a really nice meal. Nell was great!
S.
Friendly & efficient service with good food (overall), well-presented drinks & a lovely atmosphere. Sadly, I broke a (probably rotten) tooth on the Crispy Duck Salad, which was over-cooked, but Kaylum the Duty Manager could not have been more apologetic or provided better customer service to me. It was deeply appreciated. There's a guy in the right position & he should be proud of his work ethic.
A. C.
Nell was amazing, looked after us all day couldn't fault services.
J. S.
What a lovely pub ... decor us really nice, great lager selection ... food looked and smells great (although didn't actually eat whilst we were there) comfortable seats, friendly staff... Will definitely return
J. C.
Absolutely lovely staff. Food was amazing

Great service from Nell, lovely food and nice atmosphere!

I've been here a few times with friends. It is quite difficult ordering food here as I am gluten free and there isn't a dedicated gluten free menu. Last time someone had to come round with a confusing interactive dietary menu on an ipad, and I had to sign some terms and conditions before I could order, which was a bit alarming, and seemed weirdly complicated. Plus several of the staff who came to help me with it told me they weren't trained in it which was concerning for a dietary requirement, and didn't fill me with optimism. However I ordered some fries that they oven baked and it didn't make me ill, so I was happy with that. I mainly come here for drinks though with friends and it is a lovely atmosphere. All of my non-gluten free friends enjoyed their meals too!
S. W.
Very nice food and the best Pornstar Martinis!
K. G.
Amazing food and service! Staff are so helpful and kind. Decor is beautiful and easy on the eye and everything is such good value for money. Definitely recommend!
C. L.
My family and I have never been to oxford before and were delighted to find the most beautiful pub with excellent service. After going to the red lion for an afternoon drink and snacks we booked a table for a meal that evening due to the service and food being amazing. Lia, our waitress for the evening went above and beyond to make sure that we didn't want for anything. I would highly recommend and will definitely return when we next visit oxford!
A. D. i. M.
Four stars for the food, and an extra one for Nell, the real star of the place

M. P.
Came in for a drink and lunch,both served in a timely fashion,any issues dealt with without any fuss
M. A.
Excellent service by all members of staff and in particular Alfie who served us all night. Very professional gentleman who worked incredibly hard on a busy Saturday night. The online ordering system went down for a while which was not ideal for the pub on a busy night however Alfie remained very calm and professional and work very well under pressure ensuring that everyone got their drinks. Thank you so much for a lovely evening, it was a great atmosphere and I will definitely visiting the Red lion again next time I visit Oxford. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Oxford and want a nice place to have a drink. Well done and thank you to the Red lion team!
S. C.

Initial concerns of being in public spaces again were quickly quashed in going to the Red Lion Oxford, to meet healthcare colleagues for a much needed R&R break. The Red Lion staff were friendly, their service and attention to customers and precautions were second to none. The drinks and lovely food were served quickly and efficiently (thank you Shannon, Rob, Chef and team). The garden had a lovely vibe and we will definitely be back! Highly recommended. :)
H. W.
Great garden, friendly staff and lovely food and drinks!
A. K.
Great for a casual drink, next time I want to try out their food menu as I definitely got food envy looking at other tables...

Lovely pub which has some cosy corners. Didnt eat there but enjoyed a quiet drink. It's a very busy pub as rule but a good place to have a nightcap after watching a show in Oxford

Sunday roast at the Red Lion Oxford City Centre, absolutely lush. Food was just wonderful 10 out of 10 and the service was perfect. There aren't many places that get it right on the food and service front but you did. Thanks for making my Sunday afternoon perfect! 👏👏👏
C. P.
Nell was the sweetest waitress I’ve ever had!
Y. C.
Nice gastropub with nice décor, a great drinks menu (with really nice cocktails) and nice food (we nibbled on some starters but they were really nice).
C. N.
Nell has been the nicest waitress in the UK!
R.
served good food, the burger was a little messy (the bun wasn't strong enough!) but was still tasty. children roast was a good size! I like the that the veg & sides for the roast come out in trays to share among the table like family dining. very friendly staff . The bathroom needs some attention, tired looking since the revamp back in 2010?
P. C.
We took a group of 10 to The Red Lion and had a superb meal. The manager, Liando, made sure we had excellent service. Would definitely recommend.
A.
Our favourite pub, we always have a good time here. Really lovely and helpful staff, a good selection of drinks and really good food served quickly.
The staff handled the first night with social distancing brilliantly, definitely worth booking before going, but they were very polite to anyone that we saw they had to turn away to keep the place safe for everyone and we felt really comfortable there. So glad to be able to go back, especially with the refurb as it looks even better.
G. W.
Food was superb and Nell was a great waitress
C. D.
Excellent service from Nell! Thank you. 100% recommend
K. M.
Amazing food…great atmosphere!
C. O.
Such a fantastic pub in the middle of Oxford! Affordable, great atmosphere and brilliant staff. I will definitely be coming back and 100% recommend this pub to anyone
A. S.
Organised a Xmas party lunch and was very well looked after. Issues with staffing due to covid were handled very professionally, and resulted in no noticeable drop in service. Very impressive!
H.
Very nice pub with pleasant staff. The beer garden is amazingly spacious too! We went on a busy Sunday for a roast lunch. The meat was delicious and I really enjoyed the yorkshire puddings. The veg left a bit to be desired but was fine. It is great that they offer bottomless gravy so make sure you ask for more if you need it! I was lacking stuffing on my plate when it first arrived. The waitress was very apologetic and brought TWO replacement stuffing pieces, which were delicious! All in all, a nice afternoon!
R. D.
Great experience today at the red lion , Thank you to Rob.W great service from a handsome , well dressed , young chap lovely pub will be returning thank you to the team !
D. J.
Nell was excellent and and could not be more attentive :)
E. C. R.
Great ambience, both inside and in the garden. Gives you the feeling of a classic pub, but with the decoration and menu of a very high end restaurant. The food was very, very good, and fair pricing.
A. R.
Good quality, good service, not cheap but Oxford isn't.
g. s.
Took a chance on a walk in, very busy outside but got a table inside. Top quality service by the man who showed us to our table. Lovely, welcoming place in the middle of the city.
E. M.
Lovely day sat in the garden here, a small oasis in the heart of Oxford city. It does get busy but they have plenty of spaces.
Lovely staff, nothing was too much effort. They brought drinks out to us as my elderly mother struggles with mobility.
Had a really nice chat with the staff, it’s difficult to find somewhere with staff so happy and welcoming nowadays.
The food was very tasty too, the chef is very talented.
R. A.
I visited this pub last weekend for a drink with a couple of friends. The staff were really lovely and it was a nice, relaxing environment. Having had a couple of drinks we decided that we would stay and have something to eat as well. The food was really tasty and the service was outstanding! I would definitely recommend The Red Lion to anyone who wants a good evening out.
C. z.
food was good, dirty burger particularly decent. service good but slow but then it was Friday night in silly season!
overall a good choice.
C. B.
Nia did a fantastic job go blazers
G. E.
Not the best meal we have had there. Pea puree with the fish and chips was cold - out of the fridge cold surely that's not right? The chocolate bomb dessert was disappointing- sauce wasn't hot enough to melt anything so it was hard work to eat. However a nice place to sit and the rest of the food was good.
A. T.
Waitress very helpful and cute indeed!
A.
My wife and I had a great meal. Rump steak was the best I'd had in a long time. Great atmosphere, attentive staff. Would have been 5 stars but cleanliness of the toilets isn't anything to write home about
M. H.
Definitely recommend booking.
We were nervous about going back, but after speaking with Stuart he really put us at ease.
A really well organised pub, it is table service so you don’t need to go to the bar.
All the staff very polite and friendly!
Well done
D. S.
Went for Boxing Day lunch the food was delicious and the service excellent. Would definitely return there and highly recommended this gastro-pub
A. D.
Standard problem of London prices for a pint, even though you could go to a weatherspoons and get the same drink for half the price. On the plus - good amount of outside seating, food is good, service is quick.
A. W.
Lovely smart pub, food was great, place looked brilliant, be coming back to use the garden in the summer
N. 1.
First time eating and drinking in the red lion not only didn't we book a table the gentleman have us a table of 6 and served us immediately. Food was amazing and will be back the end of the month for more
J. L.
First time in here for a few years, the place looks great after a recent overhaul & the menu looks very good, I had crispy duck salad, which was perfect on a hot day, or anytime really. Well worth a look.
D. B.
First day of opening and blown away by the skill and depth of service provided today. From the greeting as we arrived and the very enjoyable afternoon spent here. Central Oxford has been missing the Red Lion since reopening... All the team are a credit to the pub. Book early and book now. If the sun is out there is not a better pub in Oxford
D. P.
Busy, busy, busy. However, very nice bar. Good outdoor seating. Friendly staff.
A. S.
Loved it, will be back with friends. First time in two years we have made it back to Oxford. This was one of my favourite pubs back in the 90s and its not disappointing now in any way.
E. T.
Great Sunday roast. If you love the meat in a roast and want just enough veg this is the place for you.
K. H.
I really enjoy the outdoor space at the Red Lion, a great place to visit in summer. I was a little disappointed last time I visited as I think they could have done more to make the space into a great winter garden - a feature thry could play on for years to come. I'd still recommend visiting, the food is really good too.
G. J.
Good all round, qaitress Nell was friendly and helpful
M. H.
Came for dinner Saturday and we had a really nice service from Nic and Liq, so satisfied, I strongly recommend it.
F. M.
Beautifully refurbished (Feb 2020). Highly recommended. Excellent quality food, service and staff. Music not too loud so you can eat and chat like civilised beings. Gastro pub, definitely not your average wetherspoon type. Prepare to be amazed. Five stars!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
H. m.
Lovely outdoor seating, I'd make a booking first we were lucky to get a walk in but I'd advise you book first, nice pub, good food, nice beer garden!
L. R.
We went for a drink before going to the theatre. Really nice decor, very friendly staff and a good range of drinks (we didn't eat).
J. F.
I took my son here in the evening as an impromptu visit.
We were seated immediately, there were plenty of food choices on the menu including mains, pizza and burgers.
We ordered a Garlic and cheese pizza to share whilst we waited for mains.
The mains were nice, well presented and the waiting staff were pleasant.
H.
The food and drinks are just okay. I'd say it's a bit overpriced. It boasts a fancier restaurant and doesn't quite feel like a pub. The staff are very friendly!
T. S.
Nice service, great pints
A. B.
Nell was amazing, great food
E. Y.
Sat near a large table, the staff made a mistake and one of the meals was missed (fair enough it happens) the staff were sorting it out and were very apologetic, however the way the table reacted was absolutely appalling! Men in their 40's swearing, and bullying the poor staff! All because of 1 little mistake! We were totally shocked!
They threatened to "destroy them with reviews" if the didn't get everything for free! And get them sacked!
I felt intimidated and I was not even at the table!
Our food was delightful, and the staff very friendly! They should be commended for dealing with such animals!
Feel free to contact me if you need more information, people like this should not be allowed
B. M.
Lovely lunch, stopped here today on our journey to North Wales. Great service and the best Rib Eye steak I have had in years. Much more than just a pub and clearly well run.
E.
Delicious food with amazing service from Nell!
H.
A little slow in serving food, but well worth the wait! Very spacious restaurant with modern deco and superb spacce and style in lady’s restrooms.
I. P.
the food is ok, the staff is nice, but kitchen is super slow and food is ok, not great. very lively and popular place.
A. R.
Enjoyed the Sunday roast, yummy gravy. Got a table quickly and served by a cheerful polite member of staff. Will recommend to others. Reasonably priced. Thanks. Only one complaint though. Please sort the toilets out.
T. S.
Great pub, even though restrictions been lift feels COVID safe, lots of ventilation, tables with social distancing and great garden for a pint.
Highly recommend 👌🏾
M. O.
Would highly highly recommend!! Amazing interiors, incredible staff (so so friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best evening!) and the food is insane! We had the chateaubriand and it’s up there with the best steak I’ve ever had! So good to have a beautiful place to eat in Oxford!!
J. R.
Great food. Great drinks. Good Happy Hour on Cocktails but must have same at two for £10. Good place for after work. Weekends are very busy. Lots of roast dinners served on Sunday. Food is fabulous. Kind of Gourmet pub style. Salmon taco is lovely as starter and the devon lobster crab cakes served with asparagus jus is my fave.
L. P.
Was invited for a friend's and family run through of the new menu after the pubs fantastic new remodel! We was greeted at the door by Stuart who showed us round the pub before seating us and introducing us to our server who was Joe. Joe quickly come over and took our drinks order before explaining the menu through to us! His menu knowledge was brilliant was able to answer all questions about the menu, even recommending his favorite starter and main course which was a starter off: Octupas and chirizo and main course of the Pork belly! Trusting Joe on his recommendation we went with these choices and to say the least the food was outstanding!
Top marks to Joe for OUTSTANDING service!
Top marks to chef for AMAZING food! Top marks to the rest of the team for there PERFECT hospitality!
Highly recommended!
L. G.
Good food, nice wait staff. But the kitchens are quite slow. We thought 2 hours was enough time for the two of us to eat before heading to the theater for a show, but we cut it really close thanks to a super slow kitchen. (And we didn't have starters or dessert either!)
S. B.
Menu looks very fancy but the food is fast food level. Toilets are shamefully worn out and not well maintained. I noticed the same carelessness on the table setting: dirty and greasy glasses, forks, knives. The persons in the restaurant are very kind and helpfull, super. But no second time for me, sorry.
D. B.
I was server by Nell. Great service!
L. A.
Great HOT. Food and service was excellent
T.
Good food and Decent service but a couple of the waitresses were "fill ins" and didnt usually work there. Brought out a side order as a starter. But then we got another for free with the mains.
My main was a pizza called Diablo which was quite nice.
There was a bit of a See Through Jam like substance spread on the middle of the pizza and although I had and still have no idea what is, It did taste nice.
F.
Nell was mustard. Proper service. Legend. Cheers Nell.
G. B.
Always a good options for some after work drinks with friends.
E. H.
One of best bars going right now, mikey is a lovely server, great staff and really nice beers.
Mikey is a great server with lovely etiquette, he deserves a pay rise. Really nice experience, all the best.
R. “. J.
We booked on advice - which proved wise! A good menu but the service was excellent and the young lady that persuaded the barman to produce a divine Baileys floater coffee was an angel. I had the Pork Belly and my wife had the crab, prawn and chorizo linguine (although the crab might have also been on holiday). The food was great, and plenty of it. We went for 2 scoops of the orange sorbet rather than the blackcurrant - and it went down a treat.
Highly recommend this place!
S. F.
Lovely pre theatre dinner, Stuart was the perfect host, made us feel so welcome!
All of us agreed that our food was out of this world! And the cocktails were a perfect touch!
We will be back
M. W.
I had a lovely lunch here two weeks ago. A very good glass of white wine and a most delicious large bowl of salad. All served up with a kindly smile. So nice.
k. p.
Had a lovely Xmas day meal with family. Service excellent. Will definitely be back.
S. W.
After many years away from Oxford I returned to my old local for a beer and a trip down memory lane.. But wait! Where is my beloved BrewHouse??
Not to be outdone I spent an hour in The Red Lion.......
Best bloody hour I've had in yonks!!! The staff are Awesome! The food is out of this world.. All fairly priced and served piping hot and in a timely manner.
Thanks Guys. I shall return soon.
R. N.
Great food. Good selection of drinks. Best pub garden in Oxford. Staff were great, especially Liz who looked after us brilliantly! No music though, would have given it a 5 star otherwise.
r.
Popped in for some lunch after a bit of Christmas shopping yesterday as heard some good things from friends recently. I wasn’t disappointed, the food was great and the lady that served us was so friendly. Will definitely be coming back. Christmas menu on the 1st Dec was an added bonus.
M. E.
The food is quite nice here though not great for small children. Their battered mini fish was too oily (the chef hadn't let it drain before serving - this has happened twice now so not just a one off). Large but smoky seating area outside
C. P.
Best burgers in Oxford and super friendly staff
E. C.
I visited here while I was traveling England and I had superior service. The food and venue were incredible and the staff were very polite and accommodating. As a traveler it was nice to feel so looked after. Would definitely return or recommend to a friend!!!
J. R.
Served by Nell, she was lovely!!!
B. D.
The Pizza they serve here is delicious; the goats cheese with jam in particular. The low carb Michelob beer is a great touch too I don't see too often. Spacious garden and good atmosphere.
O. L.
Had a great time with my boys. We came down for the weekend and came in the evening on both nights. Some wonderful staff, Peter served us at the bar and did an amazing job. Such a lovely lad, we will definetley be comming again soon. 👍
T. B.
Amazing food and atmosphere, shame about the service- seated inside felt forgotten waiting to long to make orders for drinks and food, outside was busy
G. M.
Always a great experience at the Red Lion! Friendly staff with quick service in the spacious outside seating! Definitely recommend if you're ever in the centre of Oxford.
D. S.
Friendly helpful staff , enjoyed an afternoon in their garden . Clean and presentable pub selling food and ale at reasonable prices.
T. K.
Basic pub food is great! But anything else (although trying hard) is nothing special.. Service was z bit disappointing and a big rude considering they forgot the chips. OK for a quick pub lunch but if your looking for something special, your better looking somewhere else.
Staff is also not the friendliest...
T. B.
Very nice place. Inside is very clean and nice. The food was great as well as the service. I ate here with my wife and the two youngest kids. Everyone was happy with the place. I recommend.
L. d. G. (.
I appreciate the size of the place and even more the huge beer garden, too bad doesn't really have a selection of beer to be had.
Doesn't agree with me the fact that it's a gastropub; annoyed the hell out of me having to stand because I was refused to sit in any of the empty tables because in an area reserved for eating customers only.
I give it 3* more as a personal opinion, if you value gastropubs is actually a very nice place, I would totally take home with me one of their cow hide stools, too bad I prefer more traditional pubs.
f. d.
Good staff, good size portions. A bit felt that we where treated like poor students and sitting at the entrance
F. S.
Nell
Was decent, can't complain
A. E.
Really nice fur bushings inside making best use of an old property. Good to see the brewery taking care of this pub. The lager was good and reasonably priced for a city centre pub.
c. s.
Great food and great cocktails, lovely atmosphere very upmarket - bit pricey but comparably reasonable for quality and experience. Definitely recommend as somewhere to go when you wanna feel a bit fancy.
J. T.
Lovely food, the decor is a lot nicer than i remember from my last visit in 1993 🤣
R.
Big, bright, inviting gastopub. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The food was good.
My overseas guests were particularly impressed by the dessert selection.
A. G.
A great night. And great service from Nell.
D. S.
Great food and service from Nell

Wonderful pub great atmosphere only had drinks but staff amazing especially Joe always around for you first class 👍👍
J. K.
Yep! one of my favourites in oxford center and has been for years ever since it was the brew house, great garden for the summer good food and service👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
J. C.
My favourite place to walk the dog. My puppy loves seeing all the pans in the kitchen!
T. T. F.
Amazing basic pub food, but the wait is a little long, but you make the most of that by going to the bar and get some drinks. Nice atmosphere and comfortable seating. I love the creme brûlée!!!
S. W.
A really comfortable elegant pub, the staff were (or seemed to be) happy which is always a good indicator or good management
A. G.
A nice pub with a good interior, negative points for the cocktail menu which when I visited they unfortunately did not have half the ingredients for some or made them with parts missing. Also the prices are quite steep for pints when compared to other pubs.
L. W.
Amazing food but unfortunately I did get seated next to 2 (loud and sweary) large drinking parties of people which wasn't good enough as I was there early evening with my young daughter.
D. S.
Just wanted to add that there is nothing wrong with the bar or service here, it's just a personal preference, I was just expecting something different from the outside. But if you like a lager selection and slug and lettuce/all bar one type pubs you probably will like this one too. 😉
T. P.
Great service and good food.
M. C.
It's a great place for pint of draft beer and our choice of meals was a Mezze and the Linguine with prawns. All three were great choices. The service staff was great and caring
A. Y.
Nice food, good atmosphere, attentive service. All good thanks
H. M.
Had a couple of hours at the Red Lion, very good experience. Two pints of Breakspear Bitter and great food (wings in plum sauce and chicken caesar). Good value and great service. Helped that UK put on one of its good summer days, so the beer garden was a must.
V. T.
Reasonably priced gastropub with a decent selection of beers and wines. The premise is very cozy, with normal tables, high tables, sofas and couches, and a very pretty garden. Must see in summer.
D. B.
I really liked this bar, old fashioned decor. An up market pub where the drinks are more than in most places but worth it. Really nice outdoor area to sit in. Has a good choice of drinks, wines, beers and ciders.
j. c.
Fantastic the QR code needs to be bigger at the tables, apart from that it was great, next time I will try their food it loos Fantastic 😁👍
K. M.
Really good drinks, good ambiance, friendly staff and overall, a really nice pub to relax in.
S. W.
Very nice food .nice atmosphere and the decor had been done to a very high standard
J. S.
We enjoy a couple of drinks here when we visit Oxford, we've come across nothing yet to upset us.
Lunch time when we usually call in can be busy but that makes for a good vibe.
A. M. U.
Too expensive for the food quality and variety that they offer. I had an ok, standard burger for £16.50. Overpriced
D.
Beautifuly decorated pub, delicious food, efficient service.
A. L.
A nice pub, central location, spacious beer garden. Although it was odd to find it has a dress code (smart casuals) and the kitchen closed at 7 pm.... on a friday!
J. M.
Food is proper restaurant quality - last time I had a scallops dish which was a risky choice, as scallops at a pub can be a stretch of the kitchens' capabilities, but they were spot on.
Service tends to be a little slow, just in terms of ordering food and getting drinks, but once the order is in the kitchen gets it to you quickly enough. One of the hardest parts is catching the waiters attention as they seem to be charging around at full speed without visiting tables...
J. W.
Food adequate for the money , nothing special
s. 1.
Lovely Christmas dinner...
N. S.
The best Sunday roast in Oxford. There is also a vegetarian option. Nice place and staff.
M. O.
Foods of a good standard but just make some odd choices in presentation. Included a whole gerkin as side without slicing it. Beer is good, service was ok.
R. C.
Always enjoy your food and service is good
G. V.
It's OK. Nice patio for relaxing in the sun. Surprised the beer selection was so limited given its size. Didn't have any food, but it looked good whenever the servers were walking by.
S. A.
Fabulous food, we were really impressed, staff attentive and very helpful, great location, really nice decked garden area. Would definitely go again !!
G. T.
The Sunday roast is quite good. I'm not sure how traditional it is since my lamb was grilled, but it tasted great so I don't mind!
C. K.
Excellent food, efficient service, lovely outside area, toilets immaculate - faultless!
C. A.
Loved our drinks out on the patio. Great atmosphere
m. p.
Excellent customer services. Thank you Mexicano
J. A.
Nice pub and decor with beer garden but staff levels affected service.
K. R.
Really nice and trendy pub in the heart of Oxford, nice big patio outside to sit in and relax. My one issue is with the cutlery washing/drying machine which is situated right next to the window opening onto the patio - the constant rattling noise is a bit annoying!
C. S.
Been here loads of times over the years, even with different names and owners. Good location and quite a large pub with outside seating. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks.
T. W.
They were great and managed to get us a table for an hour enough time for pineapple juice and some tasty french fries
P. M.
Nell was 👌🏼 - great work!
m. t.
Good food. Friendly and efficient staff. Clean and well organised under current conditions. Enjoyable experience

Only drank here so can't rate the food, but the atmosphere and decor was great, and staff were really helpful and flexible.
G. N.
Amazing food. Good selection of drinks. Drinks are cheap, food is a bit more expensive. Staff are friendly with fast service. Even on a busy night
D. S.
Great customer service by nell.
M. P.
Food was really tasty and well presented, great friendly banter with staff and nice intimate dining areas, particularly upstairs.
L. S.
Some ingredients from cocktail not available, felt forced out early, lights 2 bright. However, pleasant atmosphere
L. G.
A great pub in Oxford their Sunday roast was pretty amazing (specially the meat one) and it has endless gravy!!! the only downside is it is expensive... But it's totally worth it!.
L. H.
Enjoyed a really tasty Sunday lunch here. Amazing food and service, we will definitely be returning.
R. C.
Great place, one of the few we found in Oxford with a nice outside. Good food too not expensive but decent quality. Fairly busy on a Wednesday but not crowded. Would go back
G.
Lovely outdoor area, pork belly meal was great too, couldn't recommend this enough
D. L.
Thank-you, Nell, for a lovely evening out.
I. G.
Good food, quick service. Good ambience to the place and staff were polite and helpful too. Avg price for Oxford, but it is just pub food done well 😉😋😋😋
S. G.
Really nice pub-restaurant combo. The food was nice, though the selection seemed limiting in its grandioseness. It is quite expensive, but the atmosphere is very nice and the service is exceptional.
m. g.
Diners well spaced out nice outside area considering in city centre. We all enjoyed the food.
D. L.
Very quiet, possibly people still wary of crowded places
D. F.
Beautiful place great food
J. H.
Coming back here again definitely. Slick operation. Great food, staff and ambience, despite social distancing.
G. B.
Good food, good real ale choice. Friendly and pleasant staff with good customer service. Reasonably priced food for the quality.
A. R.
A nice surprise having forgotten this pub was there. Very attentive, pleasant staff and the food was delicious and not over priced
E. I.
Huge space for having conferences or business meetings, enough tables for parties and birthdays or anyother events, natural light, open garden with tv and tables in the back, good food and a nice bar.
D. C.
Very busy Friday evening. Good food, good service. Shame about the loos! The ladies had at least 4 out of action.

Excellent food, and lovely staff. Smiling, helpful, caring staff on top of great food.Highly recommended
Z. H.
Lovely place, good atmosphere, went on a Saturday night and didn't have to wait too long at the bar either

Nice food, great Sunday roast. Drinks on the expensive side but one of the best pubs in the town centre. Nice outdoor area to drink, eat and relax.
M. J. R.
Very Nice food. Waiters kind and efficious. A place to visit and está. The bottles and the lights . Very Nice to see.
D. D.
Beautiful, food lush, staff helpful and friendly,, we visited from Devon, and this was the best place in Oxford,,
C. T.
Nell was really nice!
P. S.
Went for a few drinks, dress code is smart casual. Modern bar with food probably describes it well. Nice
M. F.
We ordered the lamb racks medium rare. They where totally burned and destroyed. The stadf where helpfull though and we got fish and chips instead.
P. S.
Is a lovely pub that had great food and lots of vegetarian options too.
Can get very busy on an evening for this reason.
Always book a table
J. V. H.
Food good and place lovely.

Food was amazing!
A. T.
Nice food with fairly efficient service. Decent beer garden too. Tucked away behind the theare.

OK pub, very standard beer, has a beer garden which is a plus. Plenty of space if you are a really big group but many better choices around if not...
S. E.
Great place. Recomend
