The White Rabbit

You'll find this place down one of Oxford's most charming medieval alleyways, just off Cornmarket Street. The building dates back centuries and it shows – low beams, wonky floors, and the kind of nooks and crannies that make you want to settle in for the long haul. What sets The White Rabbit apart is its unexpected Thai kitchen, which turns out proper spicy curries and fragrant stir-fries that pair brilliantly with their well-kept selection of ales. The space splits across several rooms, each with its own character. You might find yourself squeezed around a tiny table upstairs or sprawled in the back garden when the weather's decent. It's the sort of pub where office workers grab a quick pint at lunch, tourists stumble upon by accident, and locals return again and again because the food genuinely surprises and the atmosphere feels authentically Oxford.
