"Personally, I think the Perch is the kind of pub everyone wishes was their local down the road from where they live. It’s spacious, relaxing, has a lovely garden/interior, plus a decent menu and selection of drinks. What more could one want from a local pub?"

"The Perch in Binsey Lane has it all. Family-friendly with a lovely garden. Newly developed terrace for grown-up eating. Cosy feeling inside for gastropubbing with friends or having a quiet drink in front of the fire. A lovely walk on the doorstep, but parking outside if you can’t be bothered to walk across Port Meadow. Dog-friendly too. Since the pub was taken over last year and reopened in the Spring, the food is far superior – less fussy, more local-friendly, lots of easy-eating options without going down market."

"Miraculously this was my first time coming to The Perch, drawn out to Binsey by the Irregular Folk Summer Sessions Weekender; it won’t be my last visit."
Daily Info Review, June 2015. Read the whole review...
"Good food, in robust British style is of primary appeal to punters. They flock across Port Meadow at weekends for scrummy burgers served from the Shed Bar in the lovely garden or the much wider range of dishes offered inside or outside on the covered and heated (when necessary) terrace. Flavoursome British food in a lovely setting famous for centuries."
