Coming in at 13th was The Perch Inn in Binsey.

A description on the poll said: “An institution as old as the university, The Perch Inn has existed in some form or another for at least 800 years.

“It’s a short stroll from the Isis and Port Meadow in Oxford, with a garden path festooned with fairy lights that wind down to the river.

“Outside, there’s a huge garden with a clutch of tables and chairs shaded by willow trees and surrounded by grassy banks.

“There’s more to this pub than good looks too - the food is fantastic.

“Order from the shed bar and tuck into home-baked pies, puddings, and potted meats and terrines.”
