Lovely place. Came several times and will keep coming. Food is great and the place cozy and relaxed. Love it. Today's steak and ale pie was just incredible!

The menu is unique, not like anywhere else. And seems like it changes regularly. The staff are friendly and always check us if we need anything. Nice atmosphere, me and my friend had an enjoyable drink/eat/sketch night there

Evening all , I’m not here to slander I’m just giving my opinion. I never write reviews I just feel the food was not worth £18.00 .lettuce -home cooked chips and some breaded dry chicken. We eat out 2-3 times a week and eat good food regularly.The place is good atmosphere for drinks n lights snacks in my view I did see few other ppls snacks that looked ok but that’s me just trying to be fairWouldn’t ever go here for food again honest opinion.The staff also looked at me very strange when asking simple questions about the menu like I should already know the answers about the bizarre menuJust to add they also got drinks orders wrong .Thanks Oxford

Wonderfully cosy pub that was packed with diners and drinkers on a Friday night.Lots of indoor and outdoor seating plus a few stools at the bar where there's also a telly.Nice range of lager and bitter at around the £5 mark per pint. Some bar snacks (sausage rolls and lamb mini-pasties) were on the bar for £2 each.The bar staff were busy but the waiting time was short. Card and cash accepted.

Went for a special night out and enjoyed the delicious food. The staff were great - a sign was out warning that they were short staffed and lots of new staff but they were doing a great job and we were well looked after. Bit noisy, but it's a pub so fair enough.Good choice of beers on tap and draught. Everything on our plates was delicious.Would recommend.

When I searched for recommended spots for Sunday Roast, The Magdalen Arms popped up but we didn't have a chance to try since they only serve it on Sunday.The decor is authentic, classic and wide-spaced with lots of both indoor & outdoor seating. However, it's super popular in the neighborhood and we were lucky to get the last table for 2, (We visited right after they opened at 12pm.) so reservation is recommended.Their menu is a little different by each day. We had the Burratina & Figs and Saturday Special Roasted Lamb with pickles & baked potatoes. The food was amazingly delicious, especially the lamb, which was well-braised & tender and the portion was more than enough that we couldn’t even finish it all.Our only complaint would be the imperfect service. The staff told us the wait for the lamb was about 30 min, but it actually took us more than 1 hour to get our order.We wouldn’t recommend tourists like us to visit since it’s kind of far from the center of Oxford.

Very atmospheric pub and restaurant, with stupendous meat roasts and sharing platters. Good staff, attentive and fun. Taylors Landlord Dark guest ale a huge bonus.

Had a nice lamb neck roast dinner with sides. Lamb was juicy, falling apart and just lovely. The sides stole the show, we had dauphinoise gratin and it was amazing!Unfortunately, they only serve only for 3 people minimum but do offer a doggie bag. Serving size is huge - our doggie bag lasted for 2 meals.Better to reserve a table, then you can have a nice spot in their outside garden/space. Prices are reasonable 60£ for lamb roast for 3 meals

Had dinner at The Magdalen Arms as my first time visiting the place. My friend booked in advance to make sure we would have a table for a Friday night dinner. To start, we have ordered the Spanish plate and then ordered more food. I ordered a main which was not very good, it was the roast beef but the sauce was not nice (I reckon if the sauce came on the side I would have appreciated the dish much more), also the anchovies were not appreciated within the group. The burrata was a good option though. The place is nice and even have some groceries to sell in the entrance (got some lavender myself). I will plan another day to try their lamb shoulder (which I regret not having) and might change my review on the food.

Held our wedding breakfast here. Staff and food exceptional. Would highly recommend eating here or having your own small gathering for a special occasion. Attention to detail, staff and food was outstanding and cannot thank all enough for helping to make our day so special.
