Trout Inn

Selected Restaurant

Maxwell's at Oxford has been around for quite some time and its popularity is as great now as it was when it first opened, probably more so.

Brasserie and Bar at Malmaison - Oxford

The first Browns opened in 1973 at Brighton, with one simple guiding belief, that classic food, well delivered in a stylish environment would be a recipe for success.

Fishes, The

Featured Restaurant

The Fishes at the village of North Hinksey, an outpost of Oxford, has always been a great place for a party, but now it has gone a stage further. Global warming, that's what it's all about, with a new terrace, picnic hamper menu and a general move towards their graceful riverside garden, all of which serves to underline the natural louch-ness of an ancient university city that inevitably invades most of its institutions and out-riders.
