The Old Parsonage is one of the best loved landmarks in Oxford, a typical Cotswold composition of style and substance. At one stage of its history it served as a refuge for clergy, and has been home to a number of distinguished literati, including Oscar Wilde.

Nowadays it provides a refuge of a different kind and being handy for the city centre is convenient for both town and gown. The bar and restaurant are combined and offer breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner from an imaginative menu. Do not expect the full dining experience, but bear in mind that Gee's, fives minutes away, is part of the same group.

The menu could include baked goats' cheese and roast beetroot salad; spicy Moroccan lamb tagine; roast partridge, game chips and bread sauce; fillet of halibut, crushed potatoes and hollandaise, and a selection of British cheeses or simply a delicious glass of mulled wine for warmth and cheer.

If you?re getting married in Oxford, The Old Parsonage offers a delightful setting for your big day.
