It’s a lovely spacious restaurant with delicious food, impressed by the close to nature and wonderful garden seats at the lake side. Highly recommended!
Great food, great service and a cozy atmosphere! We had a selection of dishes and even went for seconds on the posh fries (nicely seasoned with garlic mayo and Parmesan) and halloumi ! I highly recommend the variety of starters, chicken Milanese was to die for. Great for visiting oxford Kid-friendliness: Kids friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Street acces

We recently had Sunday brunch at The Victoria Arms while visiting friends in Oxford. Undeniably the greatest strength of this pub is its location, with access to a green and a river where you're welcome to enjoy whatever you purchase from the pub. There is also extensive and lovely outdoor seating, most of which also benefits from some cover against the elements. I think its location is such a draw that it doesn't need to rely on the quality of its food to draw in customers, which is probably a good thing because the roast was unfortunately disappointing. While the meats (and our group had one of every option on offer) were very tender and delicious and I can't fault the Yorkshire pudding, the vegetables were very lacking, besides one parsnip and a bit of green cabbage as you see in my photo. No one in our group ate almost any of their potatoes because they were arguably not the right kind for a roast: too big, too tough, and not particularly flavoursome. One person in our group just collected all the uneaten potatoes to take home and make a mash from so that at least they didn't go to waste. While I wouldn't recommend the roast (which considering their quality were rather expensive), the puddings were very nice. Staff were great and orders came out in good time. All in all, I would go back to drink and enjoy the gorgeous location but would probably eat elsewhere.
One of the best pubs in Oxford hands down. James is who runs the pub to an extent is everybody’s mate , he understands ur need like it’s his and the new girl Emily seems to know what she’s doing keep those two as it’s very hard to find good staff these days
What can I say other than phenomenal came here for the first time with family and was greeted by Emily. She's so happy and smiley and nothing was to much for her. We had a few of the new menu items such as the Chicken Milanese and the trout noçoise salad and they were gorgeous. Will definitely be recommending to friends and can't wait to come back soon.
We came to Oxford for a day of shopping and stopped for lunch hoping for an affordable meal. The location of the pub is stunning and ideal for those with pets as it's incredibly spacious and the waiting staff are courteous and willing to help out with any requests we had. It was definitely value for money as the food was delicious and served in liberal portions! We sat for a lot longer than expected due to the comfortable atmosphere and the amazing food, as well as the wide range of drinks (alcoholic and soft) that was available to us! I would recommend this pub for anyone thinking of visiting Oxford for a delicious meal and a drink, as well as a scenic environment that seems so different from the city centre. Can't wait to return! Dietary restrictions: They’re very good with flexibility around allergens and dietary needs!
Great food, great drink and great staff, can’t wait for my next visit!! What’s not to like!
Met some friends here on Saturday. The new menu is really nice, lots of different options available. James looked after us very well and made some delicious cocktails. The Victoria Arms is a great place to meet with friends and family.
