The Isis River Farmhouse. A riverside pub with old-world charm
Tucked away on the banks of the River Thames, just beside historic Iffley Lock, lies one of Oxford’s most atmospheric destinations.
It’s the perfect stop-off for river boaters cruising the Thames, walkers exploring the towpath, and sightseers in search of a true Oxford experience.
For River Boaters - Narrowboat, Widebeam or Cruiser
If you’re travelling by water, The Isis River Farmhouse is one of the most welcoming mooring spots on the Thames. Just steps from the lock, you can tie up along the riverbank and enjoy hearty food, a pint of local ale, or simply relax in the beer garden as the boats drift past. With its rustic setting and mooring rings close at hand, it’s a favourite haunt for boating parties and long-distance cruisers alike.
For River Thames Walkers
Walking along the Thames Path? The Isis is a must-visit rest stop. Just a short stroll from Oxford’s city centre yet surrounded by tranquil water meadows, it feels worlds away from the bustle of town. Whether you’re setting out for a day’s ramble or winding down after miles of riverside walking, the farmhouse offers a warm welcome, open fires in winter, and refreshing drinks in summer.
For Iffley Lock and River Thames Sightseers
Oxford has many treasures, but few combine heritage, scenery, and hospitality quite like The Isis River Farmhouse. From the pub garden you’ll see classic narrowboats, passing rowers, and wide open views of Iffley Meadows – home to wildflowers and grazing cattle. Inside, the building itself exudes character, with exposed beams, a rustic bar, and live music evenings that bring the place to life. It’s an Oxfordshire riverside experience that’s both authentic and memorable.
