A corner pub at the junction of Iffley and Cowley Road, originally 1785 and rebuilt to a design of HW Drinkwater in 1893 for Morrells; it gained its name due to being on a 'headland' similar in shape to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. There are two rooms on two levels, both with a bar, and both with big windows overlooking The Plain; a few seats on the pavement at the front are supplemented by an enclosed yard at the back, where the seating is partially covered and heated. The upstairs room is not always open, and can be privately booked for functions. Food is served all day and takeaway is still available. The decor and furniture has improved after a refurbishment.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers and 1 regular beer.
Cape of Good Hope, Oxford
Changing beers typically include: Brakspear - Oxford Gold , Hop Back - Summer Lightning , St Austell - Proper Job
