Jolly Farmers

A popular gay venue for many years, the Jolly Farmers is an old building against the remains of the city wall. It claims to be 'the oldest continuous pub in Oxford'. The building dates from the late 17th century but the first record of it being a pub is in 1829. There are two small, low-beamed rooms and a raised area to the rear that leads to a terrace and small garden, now extended. Doesn't serve food but you can order in or bring your own.
