Elm Tree History

A little about our past

Standing at the corner of Swanwick Lane and Botley Road, the Elm Tree, run by experienced Landlady Lorraine Halladay, has become one of the best eating and drinking venues in the area.

With fewer Free Houses available, The Elm Tree still retains those welcome words. As such, a variety of superb beers, both Cask and Keg are available. Renowned for putting great value on the plate, dining here is a must. As with all popular venues, booking is advised to ensure your table is ready for you.

Friendly and chatty staff indicated I'd made a good choice by going for the steak and stilton pie.  They were not wrong - absolutely delicious served with new potatoes, a mountain of perfectly cooked veg and a vat of gravy.  A lovely pint of local beer on draught as well, plus some entertaining locals at the bar who I ended up chatting with. A proper pub with proper food and ale - loved it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A proper gem of a local! You honestly won’t find a better pub in the area. I’ve been coming here for over three years and it just keeps getting better. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and everything you’d want from a true local. I’ve seen some comments about kids not being allowed in—just to clarify, it's clearly signed outside, and has been for as long as I’ve been visiting. It’s all very transparent and not something to hold against the place. Now, let’s talk food—steak night on Tuesdays and Fridays is an absolute must. Perfectly cooked every time, and great value. Not a steak fan? Then make sure you’re here on Wednesdays for pie night—proper hearty pub fare at its best. Just a tip: book ahead—it’s that popular! Lorraine and the team are fantastic—super friendly and always going the extra mile to make sure you’re looked after. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is well worth a visit. You’ll be back, trust me.
