About The Duke of Cumberland's Head

The Duke of Cumberland's Head is a historic pub in Clifton, Oxfordshire, dating back to 1774. The kitchen focuses on seasonal, high quality ingredients, serving modern British dishes that are rooted in tradition yet thoughtfully refined. The menu changes daily based on what is fresh and in season. Beyond the restaurant and bar, the garden provides a peaceful setting for drinks, leisurely lunches, or evening meals in the open air. Upstairs, beautifully appointed bedrooms offer a countryside retreat for those wanting to stay longer. A semi-private dining room seats up to fourteen guests for suppers and private events. The pub is run by Max, founder of Jack Whipp Inns Ltd, alongside Head Chef Tom Farrar, whose career includes celebrated kitchens such as The Five Fields and CORE by Clare Smyth. The pub takes its name from Prince Rupert of the Rhine, made Duke of Cumberland in 1644, a cavalier commander known for his boldness and his loyal hound. Proper pints and well-kept wine are served at the bar.
