Our Story

The single most outstanding characteristic of the Frog is the fact that owners Jim and Noelle Crowe are Chef and Front of House respectively. Together 26 years, they learned the restaurant trade together, before purchasing the Frog in 1995. Through incredible dedication and devotion to hard work they've turned it into one of the most successful and welcoming Pub's in South Oxfordshire.

The bar manager of the Frog is Calum. Always friendly, organized and happy to help, Calum has been with us for 20 Years and is a well-respected and dedicated member of staff.

All of the photos that you see on this site are shot in and around the Frog and the Hambleden valley specifically. The food dishes and Fresh At The Frog products were prepared by Jim and Noelle and were either photographed in the kitchen, restaurant or dining room. We don’t believe in presenting that which we don’t actually have or create, and we wouldn’t dream of buying in stock photos. We’re proud of our reputation and we want our customers to have the best possible experience of the Frog.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS (UNLESS GUIDE DOGS) ARE NOT ALLOWED IN RESTAURANT AREAS. THEY ARE MORE THAN WELCOME IN THE BAR AREA.
