The White Rabbit
The White Rabbit is a family-run independent pub on Friars Entry, the lane between Gloucester Green and Magdalen Street in central Oxford. It is known for Roman-style pizzas made from scratch every day and for cask beers brewed within 25 miles. The covered garden has heated benches, so it stays usable year-round.

Pizza and beer
The pizzas are Roman style, with thin, crisp bases and a balanced choice of toppings, made fresh daily. On the bar, draught beers run from pilsner and European lager to weissbier and IPA, while every cask ale comes from a brewery within 25 miles, on a rotating list of Oxford-area beers. It suits a casual evening rather than a formal meal.
Inside and out
Indoors it is a traditional, cosy old pub with a wide mix of music. Outside, the garden is fully covered and the bench seats are heated, back and base, which makes it a comfortable option on a cold evening. You can order from the table by QR code or go to the bar. Staff will bring everything to your table, so it is easy to settle in for an evening.
When to go
Its position a few steps from Gloucester Green and the Ashmolean Museum makes it an easy stop between sightseeing and the coach station. Bookings are taken only for groups of eight or more, so smaller groups should just turn up; arrive early on busy evenings. Groups can book by phone, text, WhatsApp or email.
