Cuttlefish

Reviewed By jazw2014

I selected this restaurant from tripadvisor rating as I was staying in oxford with absolutely no local restaurant knowledge. First impressions were fantastic. Great greeting and rapidly shown to a nicely located table. Menu is good, especially the specials board. However, service from then on was slow and lacked attention. The staff were very nice however so it didn’t impact the meal significantly. One other thing....hot meals served on cold plates is not good. As the title of this review says, good location and ambiance let down a little by attention to detail. This restaurant should be a ‘very good’ or better.

Butchers' Arms

Reviewed By hester730

This is an extremely well run pub which is very friendly. The food is great, especially the pizzas (see my pic of the specials board, obviously this changes with time). The garden is spacious and has really nice flowers in both beds and hanging baskets. Beer is well kept with the full Fullers range plus guests. There are two resident cats and three resident dogs!

We have just got home from visiting Seven Stars. We had booked for Sunday lunch. We had a warm friendly welcome all the staff are very professional. The Seven Stars has a really lovely atmosphere and pleasant vibe. We ordered the roast beef which was delicious, the roast potatoes nice and crispy and the vegetables very tasty.The portions are extremely generous. We shared a desert which was a light chocolate cake with stem ginger ice cream absolutely perfect end our meal. Thank you for a lovely lunch in a beautiful setting.

We had dinner at the Oxford Kitchen on yesterday evening. We had the Chef's tasting menu. We found the restaurant to be friendly, welcoming and unpretentious.... despite it being a 1 Star Michelin establishment. The food was inspiring and well presented. We enjoyed most of the dishes. We would definitely come back again. Well done

We had heard good things about this Hampstead-style upmarket bar/restaurant, all happily confirmed during a spontaneous trip to Oxford. Great food promptly delivered, and a friendly atmosphere which made for a very pleasant experience. Caters for vegans, vegetarians & flexitarians as well as carnivores. Lovely selection of real ales and ciders. Is it enough reason to move to Oxford? Probably!

Reviewed By SB01

Lovely boutique Gastropub slightly out of Oxford centre, near the Redbridge park and ride. The unassuming location hides a nicely designed, spacious but cosy interior full of pastel colours and nice touches. The menu changes seasonally and offers good food for vegans, vegetarians, pescatorians and carnivores. Starters are simple but tasty, a number featuring breads cooked on premises. Mains varied from hake with Asian-style lentils to a seeded cake or homemade burgers. All were piping hot, colourful and tasty. My hake could not have been cooked better, although like several dishes slightly more protein and slightly fewer carbs could have improved the dish. Save room for pudding and one of the choc pots or velvety posset. The wine list is short but affordable and there are some really excellent beers to choose from. Friendly and unfussy service.There is no parking, so investigating the park and ride might be an idea.
