The Chester Arms - (Near Oxfordshire, london)

Thomas Li one of my favourite pubs in oxford! delicious food - yummy pizzas, small plates, and a sunday roast! great selection of draught beers and ciders from local and indie breweries too. the kitchen is also completely nut free. this place is fully vegan but you wouldnt realise it as all vegan substitutes are treated as equals to animal based products (ie a sausage is labelled as just a sausage and not a specifically vegan sausage) and I think this is really cool as it encourages people who ordinarily wouldnt consider eating something vegan to try more plant based foods. delicious food and amazing service; well worth a visit!

Ali G Simply the best. This restaurant has a huge variety of options! Everything from grills to homemade soup of the day, stews, slow cooked traditional dishes, döner kebabs, and so many others I probably haven’t tried yet. Everything I have tried has lived up to my expectations, and I love how your order is grilled in front of you! They are super fast too, once you order and choose any meat from the see through fridge, it is immediately handed to the grill chef and starts cooking! Döner varieties including wraps and döner-on-rice are the best you’ll have in Oxford! Homemade dishes are so good that they run out quickly. A must visit, absolutely worth the price. People who work there are absolute champs they are very kind and always positive despite working loads and being under pressure at all times. (Attached is a takeaway box from Bodrum Restaurant, it has rice and chips underneath the meat, invisible on this angle, salad and sauces are complimentary with every order)

Callum Smart Busy Saturday night walk in - we were able to be sat outside and the heaters turned on for us. All the staff were very kind, attentive and warm. Some very warming Turkish teas were brought for us at the end complimentary. Great stop in Oxford right next to the O2 we were heading to.

George Edwards It was my first time dining at Cuttlefish. I made an extremely last minute booking and the staff were kind enough to accommodate that for me. Not only that but the staff are friendly, attentive and warm. The food comes in more than reasonable portions and is absolutely delicious.

Ben Solomon We had a fantastic valentines evening at The Manor in Garsington and the steak was outstanding. Cooked perfectly to order, beautifully seasoned, and incredibly tender – easily one of the best we’ve had, The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A great and enjoyable dining experience we’ll definitely be returning.
