Best British Restaurants in Nether Westcote

Always a favourite, cosy and relaxed with fantastic service and food. Nothing is too much trouble but equally the team are t over-baring. Roaring fire and a decent glass of wine to go with a belly busting but beautifully cooked roast dinner.

The restaurant was busy on Saturday night in the lead-up to Christmas, but it was easy to find. A little noisy, which was fully expected. Despite her hectic schedule, our restaurant attendant Anastasia was attentive and considerate of my dairy intolerance. The starters and main courses were delicious; however, I thought the dessert selection was limited for those who avoid dairy. We would be happy to return, as we had a wonderful experience.

Lovely pre-Christmas meal in central Oxford. We booked early after spending the day shopping and felt welcome and unhurried, although I’m sure they had a busy service. I also liked the layout - tables weren’t cramped together despite it being a compact venue. My oysters were spectacularly good, and my black bream main was cooked perfectly. My party also ate kidneys, rabbits and steak and had desserts. My chocolate dessert was a little one-dimensional, and the bread and sides were quite ambitiously priced for the quantity provided. However, overall, we thought this was a very enjoyable meal cooked and presented with evident skill and care.

Wonderful helpful staff in such a beautiful setting! Food was delicious and very reasonable for the quality, we were very pleasantly surprised at how great this place is

Went for mid-week pre-Christmas lunch, meeting relatives half-way between our respective homes. Warmly welcomed on arrival and well attended from the word 'go'. We were a party of 5 adults and 3 had pre-ordered the Festive menu with the others choosing from the standard menu on arrival. The food arrived promptly and was delicious and well portioned. Our waitress allowed a sufficient (and much needed!) gap between the main and dessert courses which emphasised the relaxed atmosphere and we never felt that we were being rushed, or hurried along. The restaurant was reasonably busy, so there was an agreeably gentle buzz and the background music was not at all intrusive. All in all a really enjoyable experience ... good food in a lovely setting with relaxed but quietly efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended.
