Originally built as a 12th-century monastery, the Oxenham was later an imposing manor house. It now has the unspoilt atmosphere of an old country inn, with low beams, flagstone floors and open fires. Two guest beers, usually from local breweries, join the regular Oxy Ale and Merry Monk house beers. Good food can be enjoyed either in the bar or the separate AA star restaurant. During January and February the pub closes 3-6 pm.
Historic Interest
First listed in 15th-century, the bar has been licenced since 1477.

Listed status: II*
Delightful two-storey 16th or early 17th-century granite inn with a grand stone porch. A stone passageway runs to the reception at the rear with, halfway along, a hatch in an old door. The beamed bar on the left was last altered in the 1960s when the area left of the granite fireplace was opened out. The solid wood counter and wall seating date from the inter-war period and casks are stillaged behind the bar. In the small lounge behind the servery a large monolith/megalith set into the wall is believed to be 5,000 years old. The mantel-piece in the dining room at the rear is supported on a huge upright splinter of granite. Another impressive stone fireplace, with a massive stone lintel, resides in the dining room front right (originally the residents’ lounge).
