It was reported in “The Oxford News” on 6th March 2008 that a part-time psychiatrist and former corporate lawyer and his wife had bought the former and neglected “Isis Tavern” near Iffley Lock with a view to bringing it to life again. The couple, who had moved into the nearby Isis boathouse three years earlier and opened a cafe in it, have – it seems – now reopened this former pub as a licensed riverside cafe having renamed it “The Isis Farmhouse”. The establishment can only be reached by bicycle, foot or boat, something that applies to suppliers as well as customers. Also, it is only open Thursdays to Sundays. Iffley Lock lies a further 5-10 minutes walk ahead.
