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.

Booked a table for a very clearly advertised 'al a carte menu day' .. drove a good 35 mins to find on arrival they were only serving Pizza. Did not stay, They could have had the courtesy to send a message. This is a lovely pub which my family love but very disappointing on this occasion

On a very hot evening, the terrace with fabulous views was just what we needed. The pizzas were delicious - just how we like them.

Fabulous pub in a glorious location! Sitting on the outside deck, overlooking the beautiful countryside on a sunny day - what more do you need?! We’ve visited before, but only for a drink after going to RSPB Otmoor. Yesterday we visited with friends and despite the heat, there was a good menu selection available and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and we always enjoy a cold pint of Lucky Saint on tap! We will definitely be back, and highly recommend the Abingdon Arms

Lovely food and drink but the side salad was a waste of space with limp lettuce and doused in too much dressing

I am sorry to write this - we have been to the Abingdon Arms multiple times - however service and food on Sat night was poor. Dry chicken & mushroom pie (tasted like it has just been reheated) and long wait for service & food

Lovely food. Staff very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyable evening

Disappointing meal yesterday. My sea bass was a tiny fillet and the veg consisted of 3 overcooked roast potatoes, very greasy mixture of parsnip and carrots and a little broccoli. Have had the catch of the day before which was much nicer and served with more appropriate fresh vegetables. Very noisy too as a couple of ladies groups were there too and enjoyed themselves at the top of their voices which meant my brother in law could not hear our own conversation. We really like this pub and would like to think that it will return to better food standards in future.

We both had cashew nut curry but were disappointed as it arrived only reasonably warm so sent the food back to be reheated. We had Jude’s salted caramel ice cream in pots which had very little flavour and not a patch on the ice cream you used to serve in scoops. Think it’s time to have new menus as these dishes seem to have been offered for more than a year.

I wish I’d read some of the reviews before booking our lunch yesterday. The welcome was lukewarm warm as was the food. I really feel that you could with a little effort make a big difference. Please try.
