About The Abingdon Arms

The Abingdon Arms at Beckley boasts spectacular views out across Otmoor nature reserve, prime walking country which inspired the likes of Lewis Carroll and Evelyn Waugh. It’s also a great escape from the centre of Oxford, just four miles away. This community-owned pub dates back to the 17th century and makes the most of its location with ample seating inside and out. The bar is open seven days a week and food-wise they have bar snacks on a Monday and Tuesday, pizzas from the wood-fired oven on Wednesdays, the seasonal a la carte available Thursday to Saturday and their famous Sunday Roast which draws in the crowds. The Abingdon Arms also runs a regular schedule of events throughout the year.

Brilliant Sunday lunch - the staff could not have been more welcoming - we had four unexpected friends want to join us and somehow they managed to find a way to seat us altogether. It was so lovely! And the food was excellent!

A great experience as ever. I’ve brought many visitors here over the years, and they always ask for a return visit. Sunday lunch this time, delicious meal beautifully presented, and with the space and time to really enjoy it.

Had another lovely pizza night! Fabulous pizzas, great choices available. Lovely atmosphere. Delightfully timed one pizza night well with an acoustic night, a lovely buzzy evening with a fabulous music background. All in all a fantastic community run local pub!

Really excellent service, food, atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

It is so very refreshing to go to a quiet village pub (or gastro pub) where the staff are utterly charming and thoughtful, and who keep an eye out for what is going on (or not). I have not been here for a few years, but the food was very good and imaginative - there's a really good country pub chef (Eva) in charge of the ovens ! Our meal was very reasonably priced, along with a fairly modest and unpretentious wine list which was really very fairly priced. (A professional ' wine adviser' could add dramatically to the variety/quality of wines on offer, without necessarily increasing prices. ) New lavatories (now inside the pub at obvious great cost - the 21st century intrudes) add important updating to an old building, but curiously they seem a bit unbalanced in style, starting with the medium-oak doors. This lovely community-owned country pub is a great local asset, but its style is a bit confused: lovely old building, but with a risk of harming its charm and character by the style of its modernisation. All in all, one day it could become Oxford's best rival to the 'Sir Charles Napier' at Chinnor.

This is my favourite country pub near Oxford. It's cosy in the main bar area, and there's a fabulous view from the terrace. Food is reasonably priced (by local standards!) and exceptionally good. And they look after their beer very well. Warmly recommended!

Service was wonderful. She sat us next to the fire and was really attentive and friendly. Food was tasty and atmosphere at 12.15 on a Friday was buzzing. Thank you.
