Welcome to The Trout
The Trout at Lower Wolvercote, is genuinely part of the rich tapestry that is Oxford life. Famous long before it was immortalised in Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse novels, The Trout has been wonderfully restored to become the individual pub it always should have been.
With a rich literary history, it is easy to see why The Trout is a pub of dreams; from Lewis Carroll to CS Lewis you can understand why so many people have sat on the banks of the Thames staring into the fast moving waters and watching the world drift by. Pubs like The Trout are special, they are part of our fabric.
When you step into The Trout you will find an exquisite country pub with a contemporary twist. The pub has been tastefully restored incorporating historic values with modern aspects featuring stone fired ovens, log burning fires, deep leather seating and spacious teak furnishings. It is the perfect place to enjoy alfresco drinking and dining in the shade of the willow.
The Trout has the most delightful setting by the bridge with a large terrace looking out onto the River Thames. To stroll up the Port Meadow in the late afternoon sun and have a picnic while nestling on the banks of the Thames is one of the most romantic things to do in Oxford.
The menu is simple but up to the minute. It's tempting, with lots of comfort appeal, with homely things like fired pizzas, steaks, fish and chips and contemporary, global touches to keep things lively. The chef introduces daily specials using market fresh ingredients.
Our wine list contains some well known favourites, with some new little numbers, from around the world. From classy Italian Pinks to big Aussie Reds, there is a range to suit all pockets and tastes. The kitchen is open all day for food on the terrace or in the bar, however, we do recommend that you book in advance for the restaurant.
The atmosphere at The Trout Inn is relaxed, friendly and informal. It is our attention to detail and high level of service that ensures your dining experience exceeds your expectations.
