"The Blue showcases local artists and musicians, yet manages to do so in a casual manner that doesn't come across as pretentious. The staff is attentive, and the owners are the kind of people who remember your name and order after just one visit. The food is anything but typical pub fare – even their wood-fired pizzas are a cut above the rest. It's clear that the menu is crafted by individuals who truly appreciate and love high-quality food. The "lunch club" deal is incredibly affordable, and there are always delicious vegan and vegetarian options available. The wine selection is surprisingly well-thought-out, and beer enthusiasts among my friends have spoken highly of the selection. While being budget-friendly isn't necessarily a standout feature, The Blue is reasonably priced for enjoying a few drinks after work. I can't praise this place enough – it's the quintessential neighborhood gem, and the exceptional food and service make it absolutely worth a visit."

I spent 10 minutes listening to a poor chap getting a properly dressed down in the kitchen by the manager and his wife I assume). Made me feel physically sick. Left before I could finish my pint.

OK so this is a really really good pub for food. especially if you're feeling hungry and like carbs. When I've been I've had plates of pickled veg and eggs to start. Then pasta and meatballs, and amazing spicy pizzas, for a main. The landlady is super-lovely too!

I had a great evening here tonight. A delicious stone baked pizza from their outdoor pizza oven. Tasty and filling. A friend had the salmon which he said was delicious too. Great beer and Aspall's cider too. The staff were also very friendly I would thoroughly recommend a visit. I will be coming back soon.

The owner, James, is an awful person who is very greedy. I went to meet my friends after a dinner party, and I was pressured into buying a drink or else asked to leave, even though my friends had already spent a lot of money that night and I was already full from dinner. The pub was also very empty that night.

We had a wonderful family meal at this restaurant. The two waiters were fantastic and despite being very busy, they provided excellent service and made sure we had a great time. The food was delicious and the kitchen was well organized. The beer selection was also great. I would definitely recommend this place.

Visit to Oxford Blue after seeing an ‘A’ board advertisement on Cowley Road about the food on offer. So glad we came across it as the food is excellent. Enjoyed a Sunday roast which was delicious and a very generous helping. Limited menu but the food could not be faulted. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Thanks will return again soon.

We visited this delightful pub on Friday, together with a friend who used to visit this pub as a student 53 years ago, when it was called The Swan. Warm welcome from the staff, who were helpful and informative about the menu. We each enjoyed our delicious lunch from the varied and creative menu. Recommended after visiting the art exhibition at John the Baptist church nearby.
