The Royal Blenheim — Restaurant in Oxford

After six years away stepping back into The Royal Blenheim felt like coming home. I used to work here, so this pub holds a special place in my heart and I’m thrilled to say it hasn’t lost its charm.

🍒 Drinks I kicked things off with my absolute favourite fruity cider just like old times. It was exactly how I remembered it. My friends explored the standout ales.

🧼 Facilities A quick shoutout to whoever’s keeping the women’s bathroom spotless—it was impressively clean, which always makes a difference.

🎲 Atmosphere The vibe was lively and welcoming. I’ve always loved playing board games here with friends, and the Wednesday pub quiz (8 PM) is still a highlight. Steven, the quizmaster, deserves a round of applause for hosting another wonderful evening

🐾 Pet friendly The pubs pet friendly spirit is alive and well. Ruffus, the pub mascot even popped by to say hello adding of furry charm to the night.

Indeed, I and other people left (not spending our money their), and the place is receiving a bad public evaluation now. Did...

A nice place across the average level of expectations.

Prices are as they are in england ranging from £4.50+ for a beer and with a decent atmosphere including great furniture seating and music it can make for a great after work meeting place for a pint or place to have pre drinks in preparation for a night out.

On occasion, weekly there is a pub quiz night which for a £1 gets you an entry into a fun and very interactive game that covers a range of topics from politics to whatever is the theme of the night.

So be sure to get here and...
