Top choice in Oxford
Whatever time you drop into this laid-back, not-quite-scruffy, seductively charming all-day bistro, with its fairy lights and faded-wood tables, you can expect to eat well. Fresh local produce is thrown into creative combinations, with the changing menu featuring the likes of roasted beetroot, braised lamb or, on Sunday, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. It also serves good cakes and coffee.
It’s all in a good cause, too, with profits going to Oxford Hub, a community charity based upstairs.
