Good Beer Guide

White Rabbit, Oxford

Improve This Listing

Tucked away down an alleyway between Magdalen Street and Gloucester Green, the pub has a predominantly young and student clientele in the evenings but a wider range of customers during the day, attracted by five ever-rotating real ales from local suppliers. There are 3 small areas inside but now also a large covered and heated patio on the site of a former private car park, which more than doubles total seating capacity. The White Rabbit (formerly the Gloucester Arms) is renowned for its own-branded pizzas, all made fresh on site, (and gluten-free bases available) with four firms signed up to offer home delivery. Most pub customers order from their phones but you can still go up to the bar.

Asset of Community Value

Three-storey tucked-away pub with old fielded panelling on walls in the entrance lobby and a number of areas with some old fittings.The centrally placed servery has a fielded panelled bar counter and old two-sided bar back with mirrored panels, wood panelled ceiling above servery, but fridges have replaced lower shelves.

A doorway leads to a room at the rear with a part parquet part wood floor, a good wood surround fireplace with a modern cast iron interior; and another side of the bar counter here. Lots of old dado panelling on the walls painted grey green and at the rear a small inter-war brick fireplace so possibly two small rooms in the past.

There is a wide arch to a small area in front of the servery with a bare wood floor, high backed fixed seating around three sides painted grey green, one large dining table plus two smaller tables. On the right of the servery there is a red tiled floor room through a wide archway with old dado panelling, wood-backed fixed seating around most of the room, a small cast-iron fireplace (modern) and another side of the bar counter here.
