About The Jolly Boatman
The Jolly Boatman is a cosy canal-side pub in Thrupp, Oxfordshire, set alongside the Southern Oxford Canal. The menu features seasonal favourites and daily specials made with locally sourced ingredients, with a popular Sunday Carvery that draws regulars and visitors alike. Dogs are always welcome, and the relaxed atmosphere makes every visit feel like home. Inside, a crackling fire keeps things warm in cooler weather, while the covered patio and garden seating offer canal views when the sun is out. The pub also caters for functions, with spaces including a restaurant room seating up to 50 with standing room for 100, a snug for smaller gatherings of up to 24, and a covered patio with benches.
