'The Castle, Oxford

Improve This Listing
Real ale discount scheme

A pub on this site from 1780 called Paradise House was rebuilt in 1892 to a design by H. G. Drinkwater. It followed the trend in the 1980s and was called the Oxford Ale House for a while before becoming the Castle Tavern. The pub is now above the street after the re-alignment of Castle Street when the Westgate Shopping Centre opposite was first built. Some period features remain, but the interior is modern with one long room and a pleasant half cellar. Purchased by Hook Norton in December 2016 for their first venture into the city and extensively refurbished.
