The Fishes

Oxford


In a delightful rural setting 1.5 miles west of central Oxford, this buzzy red-brick Victorian gastropub draws a devoted crowd to enjoy classy modern-British offerings like crunchy ricotta-filled pastry, dry-aged steaks, enormous deli boards and chalkboard specials. Dine in the bright, cosy-smart interior or grab a deck chair in the chilled-out garden. Bookings recommended.
