There is also an outside dining area on the patio at the entrance of the restaurant. I ordered the burger, which is char broiled and served on a ciabatta bun, with mayo, and cheddar cheese. The pan fried salmon was not available for dinner today. I had to go with the backup plan! Lol! I have dined here 2X for dinner and the food was delicious both times. This restaurant has been serving the Summertown community for 27 years! Cash/Credit/Debit are accepted here.

Came here for lunch. Chose their soup deal which was a Mediterranean fish soup with mussels &…read moregarlic crostini. It was nothing like I had expected. The soup was bland and watery and I suppose all the ingredients were just run in the blender. I'm not sure if it had mussels or not. The garlic crostini ended up being a couple of white bread slices and a chunk of butter, nothing with garlic. I don't think I will return. It's a shame, since the atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

Very popular neighbourhood pizza place. Book ahead if you want a guaranteed table. Now during…read moreCOVID-19, I believe they do ask you to book ahead. Else, you can also order pick-up via their app. With the app, you just pay in-app, choose pick-up time and location (Summertown or Jericho), then just show them your confirmation number when you get there. Pizza is not bad. Each is thin and light enough that even a person with a light appetite can finish one whole by themself. Pasta dishes are more generously portioned. I found the margherita has way too much sauce and tomatoes, which make everything but the outer edge a soggy mess since the crust is super thin. With less sauce-heavy pizzas, however, the crust is more like a thin cracker. I prefer the prosciutto cotto e funghi. If you crave a more bread-y and robust crust, and perhaps more value for money, there are other places to try. Overall, good place for artisanal pizza. Staff was so-so. Maybe it was my bad luck, but when I visited, there were 4 waiters standing around, more two of who saw us walk up and wait by the "Wait to be Seated." Rather greet us and acknowledge us by telling us someone would be by to help us, they just each walked by and stared, then clustered around one another, including the one who would eventually come out to help us. There were only about 5 tables total when I went, and clearly the staff weren't overwhelmed if they were all gathered around one another just looking around.

The bar isnt a cram you style either. The staff is friendly and down to earth. There are 4 areas to sit and dine or drink, one is outside protected by a pergola.

Great food, at good prices. My brother enjoyed an excellent pizza, whilst my Mum had a great soup…read more I throughly enjoyed the jerk chicken and rice. Only critique is that the food came out over a long period (the kids food coming out last, which can cause an issue) The pub has its charm, though felt a bit disjointed with table placement especially in the upstairs dining room. The staff were friendly, though a bit bit forgetful and despite it being a quiet night seemed overwhelmed.

Once again a lovely stay, the company of 8 friends helps as well, staff all friendly and helpful.

Another albeit minor niggle is that every time we have stayed here the bill is always wrong!! Walking and sights in the area are plentifiul so we will be back.

There's an outdoor area for use in the summer. They serve real ale and a standard menu of pub grub at reasonable prices. On our visit they had Greene King IPA and Springhead ales: the latter was the highlight if the visit, a superb hoppy beer that I could have happily drunk forever. Food was less of a success, as they'd run out of two of the three veggie main course choices, so it was macaroni cheese or nothing. Nice chips, though. Staff were very friendly and chatty, although our food seemed to take a little while to come (they did apologise, though). So, nice enough, but not somewhere I'd make an effort to visit. Seems popular with locals, though.
