I did a lot of these pubs with my ex back in 2012. I had a great meal in the Head of the River by Folly Bridge, I liked the Royal Oak on Woodstock Road (I have no idea if that is still open!?). I'm very envious about the Trout Inn, I really should have visited there when I had the chance. These Pubs are beautiful!!
🇬🇧 In 2010 my youngest daughter took me for a drink in Freud in Jericho, Oxford. I think that there was a writer's convention on there. Every man seemed to have a beige linen suit on , plus Panama hat. It looked like a scene from Inspector Morse. Ps. I always thought that it was called Froid's.
🇬🇧 My late husband and myself had the first night of our honeymoon in The Randolph Hotel, Oxford. As we were both students, it was just for the one night.
Lovely video. Worked at Morrells Brewery until closure also worked evenings pulling many a pint at The Fishes, North Hinksey. Video bought back a lot of memories.
Well, 3 years late and here we go. I'm writing this before watching your video. Born in Oxford and long before Morse, there's hardly a Pub I've not be into before in the period 1971 to 1983. Many of the pubs will have disappeared for sure. Between 1970 and 1980 the only pubs worth going to for the Beer were probably only Morrells or Moreland and I can't think of a Moreland pub anywhere near the city centre at that time. There were the odd Free House where you could get Youngers Tartan and Newcastle Brown such as the King's Arms but that's not ready a bonus! All around Oxford there were other brilliant brewers such as Hook Norton and Breakspears. So we are now talking about the ambience, not the beer as every where was Allied Brewery Windy Poop, Bass or maybe Whitbread, Guiness, or crap lager like Skol, carlsberg etc. Today better Beer can be found although Wychwoid Brewery which came along after I left has come and gone, or at least is now commercial crap.
I remember when the Red Lion was The Brewhouse, the White Rabbit was The Gloucester Arms, and St. Aldates was The Bulldog. I loved that you included the “outskirts” pubs like The Perch, The White Hart, the Victoria Gardens, The Trout.
Wow, what can I say Terry, an absolute perfect guide to local and not so local pubs. But I have to say, the little lanes to get to the pubs have been a real insight and it has put Oxford on our bucket list of staycations.........after this lockdown, of course. Thank you 😊 Love to Sandra ❤️
For some really amazing cocktails I'd recommend The Mad Hatter on the Iffley Road; you need to solve a riddle at the door before you are let in. Shame to see the Corndolly completely gone, had some mad times in there.
thank you for this very comprehensive tour of Oxford pubs. It brought back MANY memories form my nearly forty years in Oxford, from undergrad to retired tutor.Back in the 1960/70`s my favourite quaffing places were The Bird and Baby, The Turf,, The Trout and The Crown ( to name a few )but ever growing tourism made some pubs simply too busy and noisy, so my visits to pubs became less frequent, possibly The Kings Arms or The Bear perhaps. Still, a jolly good video, so very well done, and appreciated :)
The *Oxford Blue* , Marston Street (not far from the Cape of Good Hope) is an excellent pub with wonderful food and really nice staff. Clay oven pizza, lots of vegan options and nice and quiet on a Sunday. A little-known gem I' say.
Ahhhh, the 'Morse tour'? The Lower Red Lion in St Albans (Also used for Foyles War) and The Crooked Chimney at the back of Brocket Hall Nr Lemsford, Herts, amonst others. Could it be something to do with the proximity to Elstree studios? I have 'done' Oxford though, Enjoyed the Bear and the Ales in the Royal Blenheim were excellent.
The best pub in Oxford was The Lamb&Flag, often featured in Morse and Endeavour. It hadn’t changed for fifty years but a few weeks ago I saw the builders were in. So another gastro pub on the way.
Could you do Shiplake, Henley and Hurley. I'm trying to locate a pub Roger Glover (deep Purple) near ish Shiplake went to. I have a photo of us in the pub garden but cannot place it.
@@terrysandratravelvlogs - I understand the Corn Dolly is still there, now called The Cellar, with an ongoing plan to save it with money from Radiohead. The O&L is still there, now called the Angel & Greyhound.

Shame you didn't go in the Three Goats Heads ...... its stunning inside. The White Rabbit (which you accidentally call Tge White Hart was actually a closed, almost derelict building through the 1970s 80s and 90s.....
Hi Ian, no I didn't go in any of the pubs although now you mention it I'll give it a try as i haven't been there in ages. Everytime I hear myself call The White Rabbit the White Hart I cringe, I'd just come from the Whit Hart and had seen so many pubs by this time...still worth a watch 😉
