Lamb and Flag

The Lamb and Flag is one of Oxford's most storied pubs and a true piece of the city's heritage. Dating back to the early 17th century, this historic free house has long been associated with writers, academics and the university community. Dogs are welcome inside, so nobody needs to do the pavement shuffle while the rest of the group enjoys a pint.

Today it remains a lively meeting place serving drinks, pizza, coffee and cakes in a relaxed environment that balances history with a modern community spirit. Located just off St Giles', it sits within easy reach of the Ashmolean Museum and Oxford's main college routes.

For dog owners exploring the historic centre, it offers a characterful stop where centuries of Oxford life continue to echo through the walls and paws can settle quietly beside the table.
