Food Scene

The secluded walled courtyard of this ivy-covered 17th-century parsonage is the perfect, tranquil spot for afternoon tea. The restaurant, featuring charcoal walls hung with numerous artworks and a gentleman’s club feel, is equally popular with diners. The ‘very high tea’ option includes fresh finger sandwiches, feather-light scones with exceptionally good jam and a delightfully squidgy brownie, served with loose leaf tea from a silver pot. Afternoon tea from £25.

Drinks & Nightlife

Simply stepping into Angels Cocktail Bar is a heady experience. The fully stocked bar wraps around one half of the room against a wall decorated with intricate vintage wallpaper. A steep staircase leads downstairs to a second bar and drinking area, just as atmospheric and intimate as the first, with dim lighting and closely crowded tables. The bar serves a range of drinks and cocktails to set the tone for your evening, from an elegant Vesper Martini or Sidecar, to a decadent Black Star Liner, made up of espresso, Mozart Dark chocolate liqueur and Patron XO Café tequila.

The Bear Inn has the proud distinction of being Oxford’s oldest surviving pub, whose history can be traced back as early as 1242. The site has undergone many physical reincarnations and the pub, as it currently stands, was rebuilt in the early 17th century as the residence of the coaching inn’s ostler. As well as being recognised for its impressive historical record, The Bear Inn is also known for its somewhat unexpected yet impressive collection of old ties, representing sports teams, colleges and university clubs, as well as the large number of global visitors who have dropped by, eager to contribute to the collection.

ocated in Oxford’s trendy Jericho area, The Old Bookbinders is an excellent example of the traditional Oxonion pub, cosy, quirky and welcoming. The atmosphere is eccentric and full of character, with an old toy train set suspended from the ceiling and the walls and ceiling covered with music posters and memorabilia. The pub continues this theme in its events, holding regular open mic nights for locals, students and visitors to come and perform. Although The Old Bookbinders eschews the term gastro pub, preferring to keep its image and menu down-to-earth and simple, its French-influenced pub fare is undeniably delicious.
