Next door but one to these premises is Oxford University’s history faculty, originally the city’s High School for Boys. The comic actor Ronnie Barker was a former pupil and later one of the Two Ronnies. Probably their best-known sketch was ‘Four Candles’.
The text reads: The beginning of the Two Ronnies goes back to The Frost Report, the satirical show that brought together the future members of Monty Python and the Goodies, and Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett. The ‘Ronnies’ gravitated towards each other. The others were all university types, whereas they both had a largely theatrical ‘education’, Barker in stage drama and Corbett in stand-up comedy.
I usually love giving good reviews but I felt extremely helpless within this place, I paid £11.88 (the price for what was the burger I ordered WITH a soft drink) and there was a glitch with the app where my drink was not ordered. I thought this would be harmless as I still paid full price but when I showed the receipt I was denied a soft drink. Not only this but the burger I was given was completely wrong however I only realised too late. My money has been taken from me! this is not okay.
We went here twice once for dinner and drinks and then for breakfast a couple of days later both were nice. The food was a little cold but still enjoyable. The only problem I had was that the tea and coffee machine was right next to the toilet, and it wasn't a nice smell. Staff are friendly toilets are on ground floor so no mile hike. There is plenty of seating. It's I'm the town and I didn't see any parking close by but it's close to bus route and a short walk from the train station
Great place to have a drink and have some food. The variety of beers and wine is very varied and supported by good service. I happen to try the breakfast with Eggs Benedict and they were delicious. Overall a place with great vibes.
We had a brilliant day in Oxford. Wonderful place for sightseeing. Great architecture around every corner and a very smart shopping centre. We found ourselves eating in the four candles because of the two Ronnies sketch lol but it was one best spoons we’ve been in!
Superb atmosphere for a proper energetic pub with cheap food and drinks. Just note, the food orders are closed at 10PM but it's open till 11:30 pm. Definitely worth a visit for students and young professionals.
