ABOUT US

Grace, Garret and the team (plus our Greyhound Angel) offer a warm and friendly welcome to all customers old and new alike. The Boat Inn, set alongside the beautiful Southern Oxford Canal, is a family and dog friendly canal side country pub which has retained it’s traditional character and local appeal.

This unique and beautiful setting makes the Boat Inn an ideal watering hole for walkers, boaters and hikers to enjoy a tasty meal or a refreshing drink.

The Boat Inn has also featured a number of times in the popular, detective drama series Inspector Morse, based on a series of novels by Colin Dexter. It starred the legendary John Thaw as Chief Inspector Morse and Kevin Whately as Sergeant Lewis. The Morse Dining Room has many photographic tributes of the episodes featuring the pub and more recently featured in ‘Barging Around Britain’ (ITV) with John Sergeant.

Come and join us for good food, real ales, great wines, great company, fabulous hospitality and a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – you won’t be disappointed!
