OXFORD’S
RIVERSIDE PUB

Dear Valued Customers,

Over the past five years, it has been our absolute pleasure to serve you our Vegetarian and Vegan Cuisine. We have learned so much about preparing and cooking vegetarian dishes, and we believe this experience will benefit all our pubs for years to come.

However, due to circumstances beyond our control, it is time for a change. The closure of the Botley Road bridge by Oxford City Council and Network Rail for three and a half years has resulted in us losing access to 75% of the city, particularly affecting our target market, including the university. Additionally, the financial pressures imposed on pubs by the Labour government have placed us in a position where we must target a larger percentage of both locals and the city.

While we will remain primarily a Vegetarian Pub, with 60% of our starters and mains continuing to be vegetarian, we will be introducing Fish dishes to our menu as of 9th February. Essentially, we will become a Vegetarian and Pescatarian pub. We understand that some of our customers may be disappointed with this change, but we hope the majority will understand that this decision was made due to financial considerations.

We are excited to serve our new menu and look forward to welcoming you all.

Many thanks

The Punter team
