Exceptional

As at May 2025 this is (sadly and surprisingly) Oxford’s sole vegan-only venue.

The Oxford Blue is an old established pub located in the main residential and student area, just outside the centre of the city. It’s a lovely area to visit and about 20 minutes walk from Carfax.

This place is 100% vegan (including all the drinks). The pizzas are innovative, hearty and on fluffy chewy dough.

The chips with Japanese sauce and toppings were amazing. The weekly salad was innovative. Note the plates are quite large and more than a ‘side’ dish portion.

I look forward to returning to this place.


Returned in August 2025. Ate in the garden which has a lively and relaxed feel. The staff are very energetic, friendly and with exceptional hospitality skills.

Absolute 10/10

I fortunately live around the corner and come at least once a week. The pizzas are all incredible, the brunch and Sunday roasts are thoughtful, and the patio vibes are immaculate. Not to mention they host all sorts of unique events like yoga in the mornings, craft fairs, open mic nights, etc.

Amazing food & atmosphere

My first time visiting a fully vegan pub and it was a hit! We shared a pizza & fries which was delicious, the vegan cheese was so good and flavoursome. The staff were really lovely and when they found out it was my birthday they bought out a cookie dessert with a candle which was such a wholesome touch!

Wish I could live over the road from here

I had a fantastic pizza and beer here one night accompanied by the sound of a group of violinists. I had such a great time I returned again the next day for some poutine.

The real highlight of this place is the kind and friendly staff - shout out to Charles for cheering me right up after a day of work.

Pros: The beer, The staff, The food

Only fully vegan place in Oxford !

Great all vegan pub in Oxford (walking distance from centre). We went on a Friday night at 6pm and booked because of previous reviews but it was super quiet when we got there and could pick anywhere to sit. Food isn’t advertised as all vegan (but is!) staff are super friendly and food / drinks sooooo yummy !! We will be back if ever in Oxford again

Pros: Tasty food, Good price , Friendly staff

It's great, make sure to reserve a table!

Went here on a Friday night and every table was taken, but the lovely waitress helped us find a corner spot. Delicious food, nice ambiance, and they even had live music!

Delicious vegan food, great atmosphere

Delicious vegan food, great atmosphere & friendly service. We came here for Father’s Day brunch and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was excellent- and I really appreciated the gluten free options. Our teenager gave the French toast 10/10, and the mushrooms on toast with spring greens, and heritage tomatoes on toast with crematta were both delicious. Great coffee too.

Pros: Really yummy food with heaps of gf options , Friendly service , Lovely atmosphere

Cons: N/A

Amazing Sunday roast, incredible staff and atmosphere. Staff is friendly and on it with any food allergies. The Sunday roast was maybe the best meal of my life. If you have the chance, go here.

Amazing food and people!

Fully vegan menu; lots of different starters, and highly recommend the cookie dough pan for pudding, mains are various pizza options during the week and then an epic vegan roast on Sundays!! The staff are very friendly and helpful too, so much so that this is the location we choose to hold our monthly Oxford vegan socials 💚🌱

Vegan food at its best. An absolute Gem

A cosy, friendly, charming pub with a fantastic menu that just happens to be vegan. You can taste the creativity and passion that has gone into creating dishes which are delicious in their own right without pretending to be meat.
The team are also really lovely, and the whole vibe is just so chill and hygge.
Can't wait to come back!

Best vegan dining in Oxford

From the minds that brought us Green Routes Cafe, the Oxford Blue food is absolutely delicious in its own right - bringing in vegans and non-vegans. We were particularly impressed with the Sunday Roast, which my meat eating Mum said was the best roast she's ever had, enjoying the flavour and effort that went into making all components delicious.

Will absolutely be returning!

Pros: Varied small plates, Pizzas with cashew cheese, Friendly staff and great ambiance

Cons: Nothing! No cons

Absolutely amazing!

Delicious small plates and pizzas, lovely service and atmosphere, every dish was incredibly balanced and flavourful and the whole meal felt like a treat. Padrones were perfectly salted (each and every one of them), canelinni beans and caramelized leek dip was super tasty and the pizza (Forage) was a very scrumptious blend of ingredients that went so well together. A real feast!

Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere

Great Beer, Great Food

I hadn't heard much about the Oxford Blue despite being in and around Oxford for a looooong time.
They have a great selection of vegan beers and the food is delicious... Especially recommend the arancini which captures the pancetta flavour masterfully 👌
The atmosphere is great the staff are friendly and it was playing bossa nova the whole time, which I will never complain about.

Pros: Food, Beers, Atmosphere

Cons: Nil

Wonderful!

Wow, amazing food and a great atmosphere. We opted for small plates to share. Portions were huge, the food utterly delicious. Their pizzas looked fab, too, and I wish I had been able to try the creme brûlée dessert (but was way too full by that stage)

Pros: Delicious food , Great atmosphere
