"On our visit, we met a Basil Fawlty in training. This venue was chosen as our annual Christmas get together given that we all live looking miles away from each other, and was mid-way point. The website offers so much, which unfortunately doesn 't quite deliver. Parking was a nightmare. We witnessed a family with two cars leave their vehicle in the small car park to go off trekking across the countryside. The owners are quite happy to manage the customer flow to the toilets, but not who uses the car park. We ended up having to make our way through puddles and mud to get into the restaurant. We were seated quite quickly, and to be fair there was quite a nice Christmas atmosphere. Christmas menus dished out, and orders taken promptly. However...no Pinot??? (my partners drink of choice, not mine, i was driving...and hiking to get back to the car.. Food arrived quite quickly too. Portions weren 't huge but was ok in terms of quality. However, when our server came to ask if everything was ok, just at the point of us answering his question the server was interrupted by one of his colleagues so he got distracted.....once he 'd answered his colleagues question he turned to us with a curt (John Cleese style Hmmmmmm?? As if it was OUR fault that we hadn 't answered his question when HE was interrupted.....VERY VERY RUDE....He then had the audacity to add 12. service charge onto our bill (which is NOT clearly stated on the main menu.... , and got very indigent/rude/short with us when we asked him to remove the charge.. In my opinion a service charge is optional, and is earned not a given right. Briefly the desserts were a massive let down. Choose the cheese and expect a couple of biscuits and a cheeky little game of 'spot the cheese ' We were then told, that despite the fact we 'd all driven miles to get together that we only had the table for two hours. Once again no indication or mention of this. Would we visit again? I 'll let you decide on that one. And, for those of you wondering about monitoring the toilets.....see photo."

Great spot for a wholesome Sunday lunch. Extremely cosy, classic English pub. Amazing service from Fynn, quality food and great atmosphere. Friendly, warm and welcoming gastro pub!

This is a great venue and worked perfectly well for our Christmas lunch, great food and location very cosy and festive. We were a group of 36 people but they catered extremely well for us great timing, no long waits, but we weren't rushed either. We had some of our US colleagues with us and they loved the venue and ambience. View menu

My first visit was phenomenal. Food was delicious, The Venue is cute and elegant but a little noisy. The most incredible was the waitress his name was Fynn, he explained me everything on the menu very well. I never had the proper experience in a restaurant with a nice and professional waitress. He made my lunch great. And all his recommendations were accurate. Well done Fynn 10 of 10.

Wonderful dining experience as ever. The staff are so attentive and very knowledgeable about the food and drinks in offer. Great choice of vegetarian dishes as well as a good range of fish and meats. I had the roasted butternut squash and leek Wellington served on braised red cabbage with crispy kale, shallots and apples followed by Ginger sponge with caramel sauce it was amazing! A favourite restaurant of ours and it never disappoints.

Took my 96 year old Father, and we had a wonderful Sat afternoon. The staff were great, greeting us and ensuring Dad was safe with his walker to get to the table. Once seated our server Christian was superb. He took great care and time to talk to Dad, and we also had a great chat. The food was excellent, ambiance while a bit noisy, was still very good. The whole place is run very well, given it has been 30 years since I visited the perch and we will be back once my wife comes over from California. #Christianpeterson View menu

We had our wedding reception here earlier in October and words aren’t enough for the outstanding service we received. Emily and her team gave first class, efficient, punctual and fab service. Emily was a joy to work with and all of our ideas plans came to fruition and then some!! We have had soooo many compliments about the day from the food to the bar to the staff working on the day. The vibe we wanted was LOVE that’s exactly what we got. So thank you Emily all the team at The Perch you gave us the best reception ever

This is the perfect place for a low key, relaxed lunch with a friend. I know, because that’s what I have just done. Service was warm, genuine and very efficient. The ambiance echoed that. It’s a favourite spot being so close to the City, and yet with the feeling of a typical English country hostelry. The food was great. Clean plates! Perfect beef pie. Give me more! Battle the hurdles Oxford’s roads throw at you because it’s worth it. By that I mean walk or get on your bike. Because that’s the best approach for this hidden, but rightly celebrated Oxford gem. Follow the river (but get a map first)
