Jason Lum After a morning of lecture and some punting, the final step of the Oxford experience is high tea time! I did not stay in the hotel but this review is for the restaurant and bar area of the hotel. My group had a table near the window with a great view in the middle afternoon. We came from California and the weather came with us because it was quite lovely without a cloud in the sky. We started with presecco before tea as a celebration. Preseco is sparkling wine but we cannot call it champagne or we might make the French mad as our server explained. Normally this was a traditional for graduation but considering our Oxford Global business program was ending it was time to celebrate. We ordered 6 orders of High tea for I people but it was way too much food. Considering we havent eating lunch this was a late lunch or dinner. The scones are the best! Sweet butter and jam in a scone is divine. Im not going to say amazing because I am resisting the urge. The scones hands down beat any butter milk southern biscuit I have had in America. This was shocking considering most English food in my opinion lack flavor and spice. Everything is mostly bread, basic entree and some form of dessert. Personally I prefer focus on the main course with dessert and bread optional. The high tea spread was mostly finger food sandwiches and dessert items. The tea and scones were my favorite part. Just lounging and having a great time with friends made for a great time. I will try again. This location was very affordable and will not break the bank. Cheers!

Angela Newnham Really good food and excellent service. We had a great time. Would go there again.

Lola Olusegun Great spot for most of my Nigerian food items. Service is second to none. Reasonable prices too

Paul Kilford We literally stumbled in. Not even knowing the place was here we just happened to stop outside the door and noticed the menu. A fabulous venue. The menu was superior to he usually Pub/Bar Snacks. Not overpriced at all. A good selection of Gluten free options as one of us is Coeliac. The staff were fabulous. Really lovely and chatty. Interested to hear what we were saying. A really well run Pub. Im definitely going back. Only slight criticism it was a tad cold but that wasnt such a bad thing as despite it being freezing weather wed already got quite warm in the Guildhall.

krisfoshizzle Nice local kebab. Take out the salad and sauces are boxed separately to keep pitta and meat fresh hot and not soggy
