Went in with a query and the barman and the manager were both incredibly friendly and helpful. Great pint of Camden stout, which I find better than Guinness. Also had a scotch egg and it was incredible - the best I have ever tasted, crispy crumb with what seemed like a quail's egg inside, which left space for the thickest later of gorgeous well-sessoned meat - worth the 5 stars alone!
Absolutely excellent experience at The Jolly Postboys. The pub has a warm, friendly atmosphere and a real sense of character, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food was delicious, well cooked, and full of flavor, with generous portion sizes and great presentation. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, providing outstanding service throughout our visit. Great value for money and a lovely local pub that truly stands out. Highly recommended we will definitely be back again.
Cute little pub out of the way doing Sunday roasts and with wheelchair access. Has board games near the door. Dog friendly. Staff are down to earth and helpful and compliant with pretty much anything. It was nice to get a normal roast dinner. See photos. So there's a ramp by the back door. The landlord is laidback. The pub is quiet enough for autistic people to easily use though there appears to be a dukebox on the other side with poor acoustics, the pub is L shaped so it shouldn't matter.
The back gardens space was lovely and felt not busy even on friday evening which was nice! The kitchen is still closed so cannot rate the food from the pub but there was an amazing japanese van so that deserves a 5 but since its not affiliated to the pub it is 3 for now. The service was ok but looked like they needed more people in service since there were only two of them. Drinks stocks also looked quite low and wish there was a menu for drinks since that was missing. The pims half pint was £7.5 which was a bit steep and wish they checked if i wanted single of double shot since buying pims outside could coat me £15 per bottle. Overall it was lovely and felt relaxing environment but I think there is room for improvement.
An extremely busy Sunday for TJP which made for an absolutely fun filled afternoon what with the choice of roasts and the eclectic vinyl selection spun by Oxford's very own formidable SkyLarkin. It's advisable to get there early or better still reserve a table to avoid disappointment. Looking forward to the next Rocksteady Roast always on the last Sunday of the month 😋 Thank you so much for the excellent service from Louis, Mo and all the team 💙 Unfortunately the pictures featured here do not align with the review of .y recent visits. I'm not sure why Google maps have got it very wrong 🤔 I'm looking forward to updating my post on my next eagerly anticipated visit to the JP for the upcoming Rocksteady Roast later this month 😋
