The Grapes

Used to assist in running this pub several years back. Good to see new managers are keeping up the tradition! Lovely place.

As we run a pub ourselves we can appreciate how tough it can be, and we can only heap praise on The Grapes. It's a pub we now frequently use whenever we get a rare afternoon or evening off. I think it's the only pub in Oxford that we can say has consistently fantastic food! We've never had a bad meal. We've always been made to feel welcome either by the landlord or staff no matter how busy it gets - and it can get busy! Quality ales and beers are served, they have numerous certificates to prove it and a casque mark. So overall: well done guys, keep up the wonderful work!.

Had a fantastic lunch with my partner and some visitors to Oxford. Was still able to get food at around 4pm on a Sunday. Had the special of lamb and mint sausages in a giant Yorkshire pudding. Great portion size and value. The pub had a novel and unique decor and special praise must be given to all the staff, as everyone who served us was so polite and helpful. A big thanks to them - definitely one to return to.

Another one of my favourite pubs in Oxford (along with the Eagle and Child) due to its warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and the greatest bangers and mash in Oxford I've tried.

What a fantastic pub, was made to feel so welcome by all the staff. Met a wonderful barmaid whose charm and style overwhelmed me, and I suggest that anyone who visits Oxford goes to the Grapes and experiences her unique yet facinating sytle of barmaiding! A warm and friendly atmosphere and one of the few traditional english pubs left in the UK!! 10 out of 10 !!!!!
