An absolutely unbelievable place in many respects. Situated just by the river, this totally wheelchair accessible pub and restaurant has a warm and welcoming landlord and staff, wonderful views, various cute and typically English places to sit and superb food. What else could one ask for? Yet there is more! The pub also boasts several outdoor seating areas both on the pub veranda and on the grass opposite. If you should so wish, you could start or end your day with a riverside walk though not everything locally is accessible. The pub itself though has one wheelchair parking space, a more than adequate disabled loo and accessible doors. Please see the wheelchair section for more details on access however.
For those who are neurodivergant, there are several spaces indoors where you can hide away and I have tried to show these in my photos.
Food: they really try hard here with a variety of dishes and two chefs. The menu is varied but not posh. Thankfully the prices modestly reflect the standard of cuisine. The atmosphere here is great and it makes a lovely summer day trip.
Quintessential English pub. Lovely location over looking Port Meadow perfect for an after lunch walk.
Traditional pub as you enter with two separate dining rooms at the side and rear. The menu is broad enough with veggie and vegan options. Good cask ales and a friendly service with many regulars being greeted by first name. Even the ‘tab’ (eat, drink and pay at the end) is still alive and kicking at this venue. Good value so worth a visit.

It’s the best!!! If you love community spirit, canals, railways, meadows, great views, drinking beer, spaces for kids and dogs to play while you drink beer*, then it doesn’t get better. The staff are so lovely and very accommodating. They always take the time to have a friendly chat and make you feel welcome (which for a dog is very important). Great…. Just great.
*if these things aren’t of interest to you then home could be a nice alternative
Such a lovely local pub, the staff could not be more accommodating. They hosted two of our parties before and we attended other parties/events there too. Sometimes it can get busy, but that is to be expected when you have multiple parties, big events/functions going on at the same time. Staff go out of their way to accommodate people and the food is very nice too. We love it there. The Plough is very family friendly, a local gem.
Another great evening at The Plough. Thanks to Tim and the team we had a lovely evening with our friends and 2 dogs. The food was top notch (as always!) with great portions and it’s so lovely to be able to take your dogs. The Plough is highly recommended 👍
Thank you so much to Katie & her team at The Plough. Last week they hosted my fathers funeral reception and the whole family and many of our friends were so impressed. Nothing was too much trouble and the food and service was amazing. Thank you all for being so friendly and helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending your pub to friends in the future. We all wanted to adopt Chelsea! Thank you.
Nice pub and a lovely out of the way location. Very popular and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy a drink and a meal. Had a great pint of ale. Such a shame the staff came across as miserable and uncommunicative. Maybe it had been a long day, it is a Bank Holiday Weekend after all. Don’t let this put you off and maybe the smiles will return soon.
I had my birthday celebrations here yesterday and it was fantastic. There were loads of events and community activities happening in and around the pub at the same time and the staff were really accommodating - going above and beyond to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves!
Amazing pub, family&kids friendly, great staff. They accommodated 4-5 parties at the same time with success when we were there for a school party! Highly recommended
Lovely pub, friendly staff and great food. A wide good selection of food including vegan and vegetarian. Look out for the specials board.
Nice enough pub on the edge of Wolvercote close to the canal.
I spent a couple of Sunday afternoons there.
The atmosphere always seemed friendly and the beer/drinks were pretty 👍
book a table in their "library" room and take your time to have a walk by the canal before or after having a pint!
Absolutely lovely staff and owner (and dog), nice setting too. Food was decent, home cooked and at a fair price.
Great pub. Visited twice now. Food was good too. Friendly staff. Beer garden is the biggest plus.
Pub in a lovely location by the river.
Butternut squash lasagne was amazing!
Would definitely come back again!
Always a pleasure to come here. It is at the heart of the community, and is welcoming and friendly. Good value meals as well.
