Historical version 5 of Perch (view current version)
8th May 2007: The Oxford Mail's website lists breaking news that the Perch is on fire.
Since September 2006, when The Perch changed hands to new management, this pub has been improved considerably and is now probably one of the best (if not the best) places to eat in Oxford.
A superb French/English restaurant with locally supplied produce (you will probably travel further than the food does to get to the table), reasonable prices, a warm friendly bar with chairs and settees and an intimate atmosphere - this place is a true delight.
If you are planning to go for a meal on a weekend, booking ahead for a table is probably essential. If not eating then the real ale, large garden with childrens play area and the walk along the river or across Port Meadow make it definitely worth the trip.
