    I chose No1 Ship street specially because I wanted a once in a lifetime experience. A large, expensive lobster. I got just what I wanted and it was perfect. My colleagues had surf and turf, lobster and cote de beef which was also very good. It was costly but as Jay Rayner wrote, 'if anybody tells you they've found a cheap source of lobster, back away. There is no such thing as a good cheap lobster.'

    Excellent lunch at No.1 Ship Street. Our waiter was wonderful, knowledgeable and charming. We enjoyed a good bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. The menu was unusual with some fabulous choices. My mum had the fallow deer suet pudding and the pastry was gorgeous. My husband and I chose the pig cheeks with polenta, again excellent and my step-dad the roquefort souffle. We shared chocolate truffles and rice pudding for dessert. Great atmosphere. A lovely little spot in Oxford for a relaxed experience. This was our second visit.

    This place never disappoints, great service and food. My only negative would be the ladies toilets… in need of redecorating and the drains sorting!
