Last year’s reviews

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch for our department at the St. Aldates Tavern. The staff were brilliant, both in the run up to the lunch (as many do, we had to amend the numbers!) and on the day. The front of house team, were welcoming, friendly and fast with our service... and even checked in to see whether we wanted a breather in between meals. The food was delicious, and the chef catered to our every need, an adjustment was needed to accommodate a dietary requirement for one of our team, and a great solution was found. Thank you again to the St. Aldates Tavern, everything was fantastic, including having our own room upstairs.

The food was excellent quality. The service was very good. The room was lovely and the staff went out of their way to allow our requests and to make us feel welcome and valued. All of our guests enjoyed the party and commented on how good the venue was. Compliments to Kaludia, Nic, our Barman and the other staff their on 7th December 2024

A charming pub in the heart of the city - and a fine example from Oxford's quirky but sophisticated pub scene. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food here - the Gnocci with pesto and mushrooms was an experience beyond typical pub grub.
