Housed within The Macdonald Randolph Hotel, famed for its five-star hospitality, is a restaurant and bar that serves delectable fare in elegant and luxurious surroundings. Sporting an old world décor, with wood-panelled walls, university crests adorning the ceiling, impeccable furnishings and beautiful architectural details all over the hall, the restaurant serves modern British cuisine prepared by experienced chefs from organic ingredients sourced locally wherever possible.

The a la carte menu offers traditional starters of slow braised oxtail with pickled red cabbage, ham hock with parsley and caper terrine, and smoked salmon and rye bread with crème fraiche and beetroot. Mains include dishes of roast côte de boeuf with fondant potato and béarnaise sauce, and fillet of wild sea bass with fennel puree and langoustine sauce. Tempting desserts of banana delice, cooked with orange juice, cacao liqueur, vanilla and flambéed with brandy or iced chocolate parfait with cointreau anglaise and pistachio truffle can be savoured by those with a sweet tooth.

Guests could then relax with a post-dinner drink in the iconic Morse Bar which was regularly used in the acclaimed Inspector Morse television series.
