A nice place to grab some food and a drink. The place has a nice atmosphere with a nice beer garden. I've only given 4 stars because I wasn't too impressed with the chicken burger as it was overcooked and dry as well as the chips were mostly just the crispy small bits you sometimes get. I expected better for £15. I've been here before and had better food (I would recommend the pizza).

Freshly cooked food is superb, the fact that it's dog friendly is a huge bonus. Portion of fries bit on the small size. Good range of craft beers, couldn't try any as I was on driving duty but would certainly go back. Parking is problematic but that isn't the establishment's fault Overall, very good

We came here for lunch because they do the Caffeine and Cake hot chocolate, which my wife is a fan of. This is part of a mini-chain of Dodo pubs around Oxford, and they all have a pretty consistent high quality formula. We had the £6 lunch pizza meal (margarita or tomato pizza), which was great value as the pizzas were big and very nice. The dips (we had garlic and BBQ) are also very good. There was also a wide selection of beers and a set of home-made liquors. The atmosphere is nice, there are games and books, and colouring in for kids. Service was very fast and friendly. The beer garden is lovely, with a table tennis table in the middle and plenty of sheltered tables if it gets sunny or rainy. There is free parking as well.

Amazing burgers and wings! And super consitent with the quality. The pizzas are good ish and they have decent house beers and yummy shots but cocktails are a hit and miss. They have a lovely spacious outdoor area and welcomes kids. Bar staff are really friendly too

Lovely place. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice big garden with table tennis. The seul bird burger and salami pizza were both delicious. The music inside was quite loud but no speakers in the garden so that's where we sat. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Another dodo company pub, again, can't go wrong. Food really on point, nice selection of beer, super nice setup and a very big beer garden with a ping-pong table. Staff super friendly as usual.

Very good pizza, very tasty and a great deal at £6.50 for a lunch. Place was a little quiet but that's unsurprising for a lunch time.

The pizza was quite nice. It would be improved by not burning the base. My girlfriend (who is Italian and a pizza guru) said it needed more cheese and the correct type of olive. She also said something along the lines of Neapolitan pizzas having a thicker crust. I think she’s being too picky for a generalist restaurant in Oxford. 9/10 would go again. Update: I had the pizza again and this time it was cooked to perfection. The coffee was also really good.

Honestly my favourite place to drink in Oxford. Get the dodo lager. It's £4.20 and one of my favourite beers in Oxford. Their server Alec looks like Anthony Fantano. Idk if he's into hip hop.
