Sturdy's Castle

Sturdy's Castle is a 400-year-old coaching inn on Banbury Road in Kidlington, just a short distance from Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. The pub offers a spacious restaurant, a fully licensed bar, and a large garden with a children's climbing frame. Freshly cooked bar meals are served throughout the week, with pub classics such as fish and chips, steak and ale pie, and the popular Tower Burger. An Indian menu features traditional curries and authentic specialities, and Sunday roasts are a particular highlight, served with rosemary roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and proper gravy. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are all available. The bar stocks fine wines, spirits and beers including Black Sheep, Doom Bar, Amstel, Birra Moretti, Carling and Guinness. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden, and the pub is family-friendly with high chairs, colouring and children's cutlery provided. There is free on-site parking, free high-speed wifi, and ground-level access to the restaurant with lift access to the bar and disabled toilet facilities. A function room is available for hire for weddings, christenings, anniversaries and birthday parties, comfortably seating up to 50 people for a sit-down meal. Bed and breakfast accommodation is also offered.
