Fantastic little pub. Not a huge amount of choice on the menu sometimes but the food is always lovely. Quiz every Sunday and a music quiz on 1st Monday of each month. Previous comment about rude staff is ridiculous, staff are fantastic and always friendly. Am not a huge beer drinker but friends assure me the ales are impeccable.

Loving the Marsh since its make over! Friendly, welcoming staff, great food during the week and looking forward to trying out the sunday roast soon, i've heard lots of good things about it!

Really depressed about the state of this pub. Decent refurb, but the new management seem determined to drive away regular customers by being rude, and running noisy music nights that just annoy the neighbours.
Looking for a new local.

A decent local although I'll admit to being a bit baffled by the purring nature of the reviews. There's a good dartboard (and space for it), Fullers Ales (although no Seafarers nor Discovery on our visit and a pint of London Pride was approaching the turn) and a smashing beer garden. The lighting could be turned down a notch and it was expensive to do New Year's Eve here - but the staff were friendly. So, a curate's egg of a pub really.

The Marsh Harrier is not cheap, but you pay for what you get in this case. It's a busy, friendly local pub with a lovely sun trap beer garden at a the back and is the only place worth a visit for a mile or so in any direction. The current couple have really made an effort to serve the local area with good food and beer and deservedly have a loyal clientele. Getting there by bike used to be a pain until the council installed some Sheffield hoops across the road. Beer is from Fullers and always in good condition with four from the range at any one time. This always includes Pride and ESB with the rather bland Discovery usually available as well. Replacing this with cask Chiswick as a session ale would be very welcome as the beer selection is often all above 4.0% ABV. On a recent visit for Sunday lunch I ate so much food that I had to lie on the grass for an hour afterwards. Highly recommended, but do remember to mind you language!

Great pub that filled the gap nicely when the Exeter Arms down the road ran out of beer one night. Nice local feel with real ales.

Homely and welcoming Fuller's house just off Cowley Road, which these days is sorely lacking in decent pubs. This is surely the best pub in it's area - four Fuller's beers, dartboard, good community feel and friendly service. Worthy of a GBG entry in my opinion.

A very god pub overall with a courteous and knowledgeable landlord. Definitely the best one in the area. Fullers Ales always in good condition. Apparently the food is very nice. Nice beer garden. Darts, nice wooden d�cor, with a homely feel.
Client�le all very nice and the staff are very good. Good prices. If you are really good at music quizzes, then have a crack at the one here that is on the first monday of every month. You will have to be REALLY good to stand a chance though.
There is a cat who likes attention too. A truly great pub needs a pub cat, I think we can all agree.
My one very very very minor gripe was with a member of staff (I wont say who but those who go there will guess) taking off with a punter for them swearing. Not even a particularly bad word, but there were kids around. It is a pub, not a restaurant. You can't have it both ways love. That sort of bloke is who keeps your business in the black the 99% of time when folk are not eating. I wouldn't bring a kid in a pub either, but if I did I would expect a lot worse than what that poor sod said.

Used to go here when a student living in halls and proved an excellent local. Not sure what it's like since the overhaul but have been told by a reliable source that the food is excellent. Doesn't sound as if the prices have changed much though.

Went here New Years eve and very good value, free drink all night plus food for �20 or so. Hello to Hazel

Lovely pub after it's recent overhaul with friendly bar staff. Good dartboard. Cosy inside, and with a great beer garden in the summer. The food is excellent, but the price of drinks is extortionate!!!

excellent Fuller's pub, well stored beer. good sunday night quiz, amusing dog, and very old bloke called Trevor. Well worth the trip out from Oxford city centre.
