Jack Ryall-Champion and Tyler Spink have taken over James Street Tavern off Cowley Road in Oxford.

Jack Ryall-Champion and Tyler Spink have taken over management of James Street Tavern, a student-friendly pub off Cowley Road in Oxford. They announced the takeover on Instagram earlier this month, saying they were preparing to give the pub some maintenance before reopening to customers.

Greene King, the pub company that owns the venue, advertised for new management in February. The company described James Street Tavern as a traditional, student-leaning pub with a vibrant late-night following. In the advert, Greene King said it was seeking an entrepreneurial operator who understood how to trade with students and could run compelling live entertainment, particularly around music, sport and community events.

The pub underwent a major refurbishment in 2019, which included work on the beer garden, including removal of a timber structure and installation of a new wooden shelter. James Street Tavern has been named Oxford Mail Pub of the Week.
