FAQs about Pubs for Large Groups in Oxford

How much does it cost to hire a pub for a large group in Oxford?

Prices depend on the venue size and hire terms. Many pubs operate on a minimum spend basis, with prices starting at £200 per session and reaching £3,500 or more for high-demand venues. Some pubs also offer per-person pricing, which can range from £10 to £45 per guest. (All data from Tagvenue.)


How far in advance should I book a pub for a large group in Oxford?

For smaller gatherings, booking 4 to 6 weeks ahead is usually enough. If you're planning a weekend event, it’s best to secure a venue 2 to 3 months in advance. High-demand venues in Carfax, St. Mary’s, and the city centre may require bookings 6 months ahead, especially for peak seasons like December and summer months.


Are there pubs in Oxford with outdoor spaces for large groups?

Yes, several pubs in Oxford have beer gardens, terraces, and outdoor seating areas that work well for big groups. Voco Oxford Thames is an estate that has access to beautiful manicured gardens and a terrace, making it a great option for a wedding or a big office gathering. The Garden at City Arms, Oxford in St. Mary’s also offers outdoor seating, perfect for groups looking to enjoy craft beers in the open air. These spots are especially popular in the warmer months, so booking early is recommended.
