Making my first visit to Oxford since 1999. Jorvic and Paulicarus on first ever visit. On the way into town from the station we spotted this Spoons. A pleasant stop. Good real ale selection. Markedly more expensive than The Exchange Banbury but still good value. £2.49 for a pint of real ale. Named after a famous comedy sketch YouTube Ronnie Barker fork handles or four candles. by Ronnie Barker who schooled two doors... View all feedback.

The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some customers expressing disappointment in the quality of the food and lack of gluten-free options. Complaints included cold plates, reheated food, and poor service. However, other visitors praised the friendly staff, cleanliness, and affordable prices. Some recommended the establishment for a casual meal or drink. The atmosphere was described as typical of a Wetherspoon's pub, with a mix of positive and negative experiences. Overall, it seems that while the food and service may be hit or miss, the pub offers a decent option for a meal or drink in Oxford.
