The Back Lane Tavern

The Back Lane Tavern in Woodstock, near Oxford, offers a distinctive dining experience built around small plates and global flavours. The menu draws inspiration from tapas-style sharing, allowing guests to sample a variety of dishes while enjoying a relaxed pub atmosphere, and dogs are welcome inside.

Recognition such as AA rosettes and local gastro-pub awards highlight the quality of the food without losing the informal charm of a traditional tavern. For dog owners exploring the historic streets of Woodstock or nearby Blenheim Palace, it provides a memorable place to settle in for a leisurely meal.

Dogs can join you throughout the pub and in the restaurant, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle while you enjoy small plates and a glass of wine at the end of a long day.
