Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Nuneham Courtenay

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.

Afternoon tea at the savoy is a lovely! We had come up from Eastbourne and just been to the Van Gogh exhibition at the National Gallery and then walked round to the savoy. We have been a couple of times, and really enjoy it. It is know in the newly refurbished room with very comfy chairs...... important for tea i think. Er added a glass of champagne each before we started which as they have a good selection to choose from was well worth it. One of the gueast was gluten free and there selection was as lovely as the others. There was no feeling that you have to finish then leave which happens in some other afternon teas, we have tried a few, and we keeping coming back to the savoy. Te staff where lovely, inarticular the man who explained all abut the ball room down stairs, whichn we went tom see. i loved thhe pictures of Guests around the htel, and particuarily liked the pictures on the wall of the ballet dancers. The addition of the bar in the room works very well.

Lovely lunch as always at Brasserie of Light. Our server from the Dominican Republic was outstanding. Warm and friendly service, nothing was too much trouble for her. Food good and loved the new presentation of the chicken Milanese. We shared a bottle of Gavi which was excellent and good value. Great job team

Another wonderful lunch at The Old Parsonage Grill. Charming and professional service, delicious food and a super ambience. Will return!
