The Rose and Crown in Oxford's lovely North Parade Avenue may be slightly off the beaten track but this is only to its advantage, as it's a lovely old-world pub offering good value for money, classic dishes, friendly service and pleasant (if not spacious) surroundings. The Rose and Crown is more of a lunch pub due to its size and surroundings, but its well-done classics, including steaks, omelettes, sausages and salads etc are delicious, generous and cheap. A little gem!
