An Oxford institution as old as the university.
The Perch is one of Oxford’s oldest pubs. We’re just a few minutes walk from the Isis (Oxford’s stretch of the Thames) and Port Meadow a historic common stretching from Jericho to Wolvercote.
In the summer our garden is the envy of the whole city and our 17th century plaster-rubble building with its traditional thatched roof will charm even the most seasoned pub-goers.
There’s been a pub on our site for at least 800 years. In those 800 years we’ve been a favourite of some of Britain’s best poets and authors a frequent haunt of Inspector Morse and even an influential venue on the British Jazz scene.
In Spring 2015 we conducted a full scale renovation to bring a traditional pub into the modern world and ensure we’ll be around for the next 800 years.
We provide a refuge for everyone who loves great food and drink – whether they’re thirsty students hungry walkers exploring families muddy dogs adventurous visitors or wedding parties.
