King's Arms

This is my first trip to the UK so I really l just wanted a typical dish... Fish & Chips and a pint. I was walking through Oxford Square and came across this establishment. From the outside, it just seemed to epitomize what I had imagined a traditional English restaurant. Inside, there are multiple dining areas, some with screens to watch the latest match. And they have a few bar areas where you can enjoy a pint and a meal. The first pint I had, was just okay, but then was given a different pint which I found to be amazing! And finally... I was able to get a traditional Fish & Chips and it was everything I had expected. Of course, I have had fish & chips before and at many places throughout the world that claim to be traditional but this was simply epic! The fish was a generous portion of haddock and in a delicious batter. Not too heavy or greasy. It came with a tartar sauce and some malt vinegar. The chips were thick and cooked to a golden brown on the outside and still crispy on the side. Maybe everywhere in England serves great fish & chips, but in my experienced having dined in over 90 countries, nothing compares to what I have had here. The atmosphere is fun, the people who work there are very nice and friendly. Great food and atmosphere. I'm sure I'll be back at least one more time before I leave.

Another fine pub at the heart of Oxford's city centre. If it's warm and sunny then enjoying food and drinks on the streetside tables is a must. People watching, taking in the sites, enjoying a pint with total strangers or taking the weight off your feet following some shopping or tourist activities can all be enjoyed comfortably. Inside there are amble choices of comfortably seating and a spacious and well stocked bar. Not had a scotch egg before? Try one of their home made ones or perhaps a pork pie. Definitely made better with a freshly poured pint of ale or lager beer, of which there is a varied selection.

Nice place, but not much offer though. The food was delivered very quickly and was tasty. Beer was good as well. The staff was very friendly. The price is a bit high, I guess it is because its location. The place accepts dog and which is good. You need to order in the bar, or from the table using the app. Liked it.
