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.

Lovely, warm atmosphere and great service. Pizza and drinks were great too, would recommend stopping in here.

My wife and I had a meal on the pub's pizza evening (Wednesday). At first I thought the prices were a little high until our pizzas were served! They were quite sizeable and the toppings were very imaginative, tasty and satisfying. The thin crust was baked to perfection. The atmosphere in the pub was lively without being noisy, and the service was good. We will be returning for another pizza!

Our first visit was on a Pizza Wednesday and we both agreed our pizzas were the best ever! Now we’re looking forward to our next visit.

The Abingdon Arms is perfectly set for views of Ot Moor and exploring the moor. It is just a mile or so by a delightful lane from the very extensive RSPB bird sanctuary. The pub itself has recently been extensively, but very tastefully, refurbished. Its interior is immaculate. Service was prompt and friendly. I went with a friend after a long walk on the moor. The lunch was very good ; I had the chicken and mushroom pie which was very tasty, and my friend very much enjoyed his beef pie. Our puddings were delicious - a carrot cake in my case and a cheese cake in my friend’s. Both were served with a lovely ice-cream. The Hook Norton ale was in perfect condition. A very good meal to follow a lovely walk.

Really good food. Lovely atmosphere with friendly service. We thought it was a very good price for such a good meal.

Hi there I came with four friends on Thursday evening. It's such a lovely atmosphere and a place to meet. However the food was hit and miss - the meatballs were great according to one of our friends but my sirloin wasn't medium rare and really tough. I had to cut each slice really thinly to eat it. Also I asked for a large glass of Sauvignon and was a bit horrified to see that it cost £12 for the glass. Should I expect to be shown the list so that I could choose a wine by the glass that fits my budget? It feels like the waitress might have chosen the most expensive one on the menu. I will come again but it does feel like one has to be careful when ordering.
