FEB 2017 - CLOSED FOR REFURBISHMENT - OPENING AGAIN SOON

Enjoying a prime location right on the River Thames, The Head of the River is one of the best pubs in Oxford. With waterside seats offering fine views, this is a blissfully relaxed spot to eat, drink and even stay - thanks to our 12 beautiful guest rooms.

The James Street Tavern offers Oxford's widest range of locally sourced real ales. Whether you are a life-long ale drinker or a first timer, our knowledgeable staff should be able to point you in the right direction.

We have recently refurbished our venue to bring you a new, exciting Retreat. Our stylish rejuvenation of the venue, recreates a warm and relaxed vibe whilst open until 3am at weekends, offering visitors a late night hangout, and a place to be and be seen.

Perched on the riverside, The Oxford Retreat is a beautiful brick building shrouded by weeping willows. We are located right in the heart of the Oxford city centre and a stones throw away from the train station.

I often hear people say “I’m thinking of retiring and running a pub”. Well let me tell all the people living in dream land, it’s not as easy as it looks!

When we decided to open the pub in Oxford to be the White Horse Brewery ‘tap’, the hardest part of the process was finding someone that understood what we wanted to achieve.

We have a real passion for cask ale, which you can see after the pub made it into the Good Beer Guide after only a year and also being voted one of top four cask ale pubs in Oxford!

Duncan runs a great kitchen sourcing as many ingredients as he can get from local producers in the Covered Market. Some of the great homemade food available on the menu at the Royal Blenheim includes wonderful chilli and freshly batted fish to name but a few. And that is without mentioning the number of vegetarian and vegan choices available, so there really is something for everyone!

But don’t just take my word for it, come on down and meet the team
