Dewdrop in Oxford

Ah, Dewdrop in Summertown – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles from the get-go. From what I've gathered chatting about it, folks rave about the food; whether it's a stellar roast dinner that's generous and tasty, or that smoked bacon and brisket burger that's apparently life-changing, it's clear they know their way around a kitchen. The drinks menu is spot on too, with a solid range of ales and options for exploring something new, and the staff? They're the friendly sort who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. That hidden garden out back is a proper treat on a sunny day, especially if they're streaming something fun like tennis. On the flip side, it doesn't kick off until noon, so it's not ideal if you're an early riser, and with prices on the moderate side, it might not be the cheapest spot for a quick pint. Still, with such high praise from so many, it's worth popping in for a laid-back afternoon or evening – just keep in mind it can get a bit buzzing, so plan ahead if you fancy a table. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time in Oxford, balancing that classic British pub feel with a bit of extra charm.
