British Restaurants in Oxford
“Very busy, in the best way, which is to say full of animated diners sharing the occasion and enjoying themselves. All three times we’ve been there in the past year, the welcome has been enthusiastic, the service friendly and efficient, and the food delicious without being pretentious. A cut above the best brasserie without attempting to pose as an exclusive foodie hideaway. It’s too big and visible for that. It glories in being bright, airy, noisy and fun.My plaice-on-the-bone was perfectly done (it’s so easy to overcook that) with just the right amount of buttery saltiness. My wife’s polenta starter and my father in law’s beef rib were well reported on.It isn’t cheap (where is?) but it is good value.”
“Fantastic service at our lunch time visit by our server Melissa. Went above and beyond to be helpful and couldn’t fault the food, it was delicious. Will definitely visit again.”
“My wife and I discovered this lovely cafe using the bounce app for luggage storage and stayed for breakfast. The coffee was by far the best we’ve had on our trip. The smoothie I had was perfect and the poached eggs and avocado toast was to perfection! My wife had portage and GF lemon cake. The vibe was great with good music at a perfect volume. Last but certainly not least the staff was incredibly warm, friendly and incredibly helpful. I wish I had such a cafe close to home! We will definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free”
“Living down the road I’ve been meaning to eat at the “new” Lamb for a long time. It did not disappoint. Service at the bar was friendly and welcoming and the food was incredible. Everything was cooked to perfection. Plus we had a delicious Sancerre at a very reasonable price. My husband confirmed his steak and rosti was the best he’d ever had and a miso caramel sticky toffee pudding was better than anything I’ve had in a Michelin star establishment. So happy this friendly top notch place is down the road and now I know just how very good the food is, we’ll be back soon.”
“Each course was excellent, from the appetizers to the desserts, cocktail and wine pairing was really perfect too. I am not a vegetarian nor vegan but I thoroughly enjoyed the menu. I'll be back !”
“We booked the upstairs function suite for a work leaving party, with food, drinks and dancing. The staff member allocated to our area (sorry, I've forgotten their name!) was excellent, very attentive, friendly and responsive. The food was excellent as always, and the service was brilliant. A fab night was had by all. Thank you! :)”
“Interesting bar with lots of choices of drinks. Good pub menu but I didn't sample so can't comment.”
“Went for a work do. Good food , great service and a very cosy feeling space. The mushroom stroganoff was amazing.”
“Great place to come to with friends. The food is tasty, the music is good, and the staff are lovely. The garden outside is nice in the summer but also has heaters if its cold. Ive been here a few times for gigs in the venue upstairs and have always had a good experience.”
“Went to the Ivy for my girlfriends birthday, excellent service, was served by Sanchit and he was 10/10 even got a complimentary birthday desert - wish I could show more appreciation to Sanchit”
