  “Had a relaxing Sunday lunch here today - and fantastic it was all vegetarian. The vegan katsu curry was delicious, even if the rice felt more like Indian than Japanese. The waffle with ice-cream was enjoyable. The garden was comfortable to take much lunch al fresco on a warm day.”

  “I went here with my family this evening for a meal. The pub itself looks a bit tired from the outside but once you’re inside it is quite ‘hipster’ vibe and cool. The service was great, not over bearing, just right and really friendly. The food was great, if you fancy a naughty burger and chips and some garlic bread it’s a great place. Fairly priced, good selection of vegan meals and it’s nice being able to choose anything you want from the menu. We booked our table for 4:30pm to be told the kitchen doesn’t open until 5 which it doesn’t mention anywhere when booking so as we arrived early we did have to wait a little while but the garden area is nice so it wasn’t too bad at all and in fairness to the chefs they did start cooking our food before 5pm which was very kind and unexpected. Just be aware that the restaurant is card only which I also didn’t see displayed anywhere or see online anywhere. Overall, a great experience, food was faultless, service was great and even the area the pub is in is fairly quiet and you don’t feel like you’re in the middle of a city. I would definitely return if I was in the area again. A bit of a hidden gem.”

  “What a wonderful find in Jericho!!! A fully vegetarian/vegan english pub- it was so lovely to have that classic vibe and feeling but know everything was plant based. Truly a beautiful spot, lovely charming interior and an awesome garden area with seating outside. It felt clean and cozy- perfect spot for dinner and drinks with friends. The service was top notch and the bartenders and waitstaff were all so kind, laughing and cracking jokes and making us feel right at home. I would definitely go back here, we had such a nice evening 🩵 Don’t miss this spot!!!”

  “Lovely quaint pub with old style seating and a FABULOUS range of veggie and vegan food which has made my year. Will definitely be my go to place for special occasions from now on. So nice to be able to order and not worry about there being options for our dietary requirements 😊😊”

  “Hi, I was the chap, with the bigger older group in the garden. I had the Vegan chicken Caesar salad. Thank you to you and all staff for facilitating a wonderful evening. Thanks also for your efforts to resolve the issue I had. It was appreciated. I wish you the best of success with your pub and business!”

  “An amazing little pub tucked away in the Oxford back streets and well worth a visit. Vegetarian menu with impressive amount of vegan food as well. The food is hearty and delicious and hit the spot after a long day spent hiking the Thames path. And they even have vegan mayonnaise!!! Service is amazing. The two people taking orders/working the bar when I visited were polite, helpful, friendly and knowledegable, very welcoming. The pub itself is comfortable and welcoming with wonderful decour and great ambiance. Judging by the background music and decoration someone has great taste in music too. Although there was on vegan pale ale on tap I do wish there had been more vegan ale available though i know vegan real ale can be hard to find - more an issue with the real ale industry's provision than anything else. Overall an amazing pub and well worth a visit if you're vegan or not - but especially if you are. It's great to find pub that does so much high quality vegan food”

  “We had dinner here early evening on Saturday night before heading to a gig nearby. It’s an interesting place with a very ‘Jericho’ atmosphere (if you know, you know). We’d pre-booked a table and I’m glad we did as we could see other people turning up without having reserved a table and not being able to find one. It’s not the biggest place in the world and our table was nestled in the corner and the table itself was quite small. The service was quick and friendly and the food was really really good….. Couldn’t fault it in fact.”

  “The food is absolutely delicious!! I went with a friend who was vegan and there were loads of vegan options. I especially recommend the mushroom pie, it was so tasty and the gravy was delicious! Although the restaurant is a bit out of the way of Oxford center it is definitely worth the walk to have such quality food. 10/10”

  “OMG. It was all *so* good, and we both ate too much and still brought home leftovers. Such nice people working there too. You can tell the cooks taste the food and really do their best. I salute you, Gardeners Arms. Best vegan food we've had for many months.”
