The Fir Tree Pub

Head down Iffley Road and you'll find yourself in one of Oxford's best-kept corners, where The Fir Tree sits like a proper local should: unpretentious, welcoming, and genuinely good at what it does. This is the kind of pub where regulars have their spots and the bar staff actually know what they're talking about—especially when it comes to their beer selection. The food isn't an afterthought either; expect honest, well-made pub classics that won't leave you disappointed or skint. It's the sort of place you stumble into wanting a quick pint and somehow end up staying for three hours, chatting to strangers who immediately feel like mates.
