Operator: Brakspear Pub Co
The Bridge, Abingdon, OX14 3HX (View on Google Map)

The bridge dates from 1416 and there has been a building here on an island in the Thames since the 17th century. Nobody seems sure whether the pub is named after the island or vice versa. Licensed since the 18th century this Grade II-listed pub is split over two levels with a large garden area next to the river and lovely views of the countryside and the town's historic buildings. Now owned by the Brakspear pubco. A bit seasonal as you would expect and might not always have the full beer range on in the winter. Card payments only.

Historic Interest

Listed Grade II. C18 origin and timber framed. RH side also listed as Salter's Cafe, early C19.
