September 2008: Has reopened and will be fully open to the public from Monday 22nd, according to the Oxford Mail.
8th May 2007: A fire broke out in the thatched roof of this pub - don't expect it to be open unless you've checked first. Both the BBC and the Oxford Mail websites have reports on this 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 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 children's play area and the walk along the river or across Port Meadow make it definitely worth the trip.
