The New Oxford is more than just a pub.... It's a community with over 200 years of rich history. But don't just take our word for it....

 'Taken on a tour of the pub, the new-look space blends both contemporary and historical elements. For example, new bottle-green banquette seating sits alongside old copper counters, traditional blinds and the original clock dating back to the 1800s which the pub was built around.

Likewise, one of the entrances to the pub, a doorway with a beautiful stained-glass window panelling, dates back to the 1900s. Elsewhere, the back room - a former kitchen space - has been extended into a snug that can be booked out for small groups and even the toilets have had a refresh with pull down chains." Jenna Campbell, 2024 for Manchester Evening News

"It’s nearly Saint Patrick’s Day so I went on the hunt for the best pint of Guinness in Salford – and I think I’ve found it.

The New Oxford on Church Street is a classic Irish boozer; it hosts a great range of European ales and boasts a very decent pint of the black stuff.

Walking in through the door the pub is surprisingly full for a Tuesday afternoon, a square-shaped bar sits in the middle of the room allowing revellers to grab a pint from anywhere in the pub.

The pub’s interior is stylish but traditional with lots of ornate decorations and booths along the front bar, a long afternoon could definitely be spent wisely here." Thomas Whittleton, 2024 for Salford Now

"A two-roomed corner-house dating from the 1830s. A winner of many CAMRA awards, the main feature being the 11 handpumps and over 20 fonts central bar. The cask ales are sourced regionally with a variety of styles and usually at least one dark beer on offer. They also offer over fifty Belgian beers. A recent refurbishment has restored this pub to something resembling its Victorian glory, and made better use of the interior space; the former kitchen has been converted into a delightful snug."

"As an award-winning real ale and Belgian beer bar, The New Oxford prides itself on offering a selection of over 40 ever-changing draught items, including an impressive lineup of 20 real ale pumps.

This commitment to quality beverages has solidified the pub’s reputation as a go-to destination for beer enthusiasts.

Locals are eager to experience the charm of a revitalised Victorian-era pub with one customer saying “It looks great guys,” says Paul Bonney. “Looking forward to getting back after this tour and checking out the finished new look, sampling a few beers!”

Peter Mills said “Looking great…Early 20th century typical of old +100 yrs Salford Pub.”

The New Oxford is now open and welcoming patrons to a renewed, historically inspired pub experience in the heart of Salford." Thom Bramford, 2024 for I Heart MCR ​​​
