Parsonage Grill

For a taste of old-Oxford formality with the feel of a gentlemen’s club, dine amid this hotel restaurant’s dark-wood panelling and original paintings. Its all-day menu features standards like lamb rump or sea bream fillet, while the two-/three-course (£18/23) weekday set lunch is served until 6pm. Afternoon tea in the spacious courtyard, whether ‘very high’ or ‘very savoury’, costs £25.
