Kim Bourlet Went to the Jolly Boatman for a post hen do lunch for 16 of us and we couldnt fault it. Big car park and lots of space to sit, the food was great and we even had our own room so we didnt disturb other customers. The staff were friendly, attentive and flexible. Would definitely return and will be recommending to people I know in the area! Thank you to Sam and the rest of the staff.

Sal V We booked In Anita’s Kitchen to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday and it turned out to be one of the most special dining experiences we’ve ever had. There were six of us and Anita welcomed us into her home like old friends. The setting is intimate and relaxed, which made the whole evening feel incredibly comfortable and personal. Anita prepared a beautiful 7-course vegetarian menu, cooking each dish in front of us and talking us through the ingredients, techniques and little tips that make such a difference. It felt like a cross between a private supper club and a hands-on cooking masterclass, but without any pressure, just pure enjoyment. Every course was delicious, thoughtfully put together and full of flavour, and the pacing of the evening was perfect. What really made it extra special, though, was Anita herself: warm, knowledgeable, and a genuinely wonderful host who made everyone feel included and at ease. It was a wholesome, memorable experience and such a unique way to celebrate a milestone birthday. If you’re looking for something more personal than a restaurant and love great freshly cooked food, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you Anita! Sailesh

Elaine Watson Such a tasty Sunday dinner and amazing cheesecake.

Andy Alford From someone who eats out quite a bit, I can honestly say that this was the best curry that Ive had in a long time - possibly ever! I had the chicken lababda, which was just amazing- the flavourings and spices were unlike anything Ive ever tasted before. My son had the chicken korma, which was also delicious. Rice was plump and tasty and the nan bread (plain) was not at all greasy or too oversized. For desert we had gulab jamun, which was also good. This restaurant holds a 5 star food hygiene rating from 23 May 2023. Will definitely be back next time we come to Oxford - well done!

Malik Iqbal The food was really good and fresh. The staff were kind and helpful. I’ll come again for sure.

Olga Taylor I’ve been going to this kebab takeaway for years, best one in Kidlington. Was quite happy before but now things sims to improve even more! It’s under new management now and new guys made an amazing job so far. Place is brighter, cleaner, and they’ve got new pizza oven! Yam!
