Oxfordshire Restaurant Guide

Half Moon

The Half Moon is an old, thatched Pub in the heart of rural Oxfordshire. Inside, amongst old beams, original red and black floor tiling and Edwardian tables and chairs, lies modernity in the guise of Eilidh Ferguson and Andrew Hill, the new landlords, whose warm welcome and superb food have brought more than a sign of life back to this aged, idyllic spot.

Inglenook Restaurant at Wroxton House

Book Online

An amalgamation of three honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages, brought together by means of a clock tower and a conservatory. So it is no surprise that the dining room is three rooms joined together with inglenook fireplaces and other period features.

Book Online

Yet another of these glorious Cotswold inns, with their easy charm, feeling of timelessness and quality that appears to come naturally. There is good attention to detail and timing within an attractive menu that leaves little room for any disquiet - something for everyone.

Jamals Restaurant

Jamals's biggest virtue is its consistency. There are probably better Indian restaurants in Oxford, but Jamals keeps a steady centre of the road pace with tasty, well-spiced food to which none but the pickiest would take exception.

Joe's

Never having had the pleasure of meeting Joe, should he even exist, one is not in a position to comment. A failed disciple of a certain chain, he most certainly is not. Or perhaps he is and this is the reprise.

• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £16.00, Dinner: £22.00

Jolly Farmer's Food Emporium, The

Every so often somebody has a really brilliant idea, and by my reckoning Jon and Paula Briscoe have pulled off a real flanker at their three "dining emporiums", their words not mine, in Surrey.

• Cuisine(s): British
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £34.00

Kathy's Bistro

The British are noted for many things, not least that object of gastronomic derision, the humble sausage. Quite why this should be so beats me, after all the Germans also have a vested interest in the propagation of the banger, snorker or whatever other name you may care to give it.
