The Folly Restaurant

1 Folly Bridge, Oxford

I had an amazing gluten-free three course meal as a part of my package with Oxford River Cruises. Unfortunately, the cruise was cancelled, but the meal did not disappoint. The carrot soup and sea bass were delicious. These were also the best fries I had during my short England trip. Well seasoned and thick cut. The crème brûlée was pretty solid as well. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere right on the Thames was excellent.

The Gurkha Palace & The Chequers Inn

The Chequers Inn, 34 The Grn, Horspath, Oxford

We were on a weekend break for a graduation and visited the Gurkha Palace restaurant which we found through a web search and booked a table.
I come from an area South Shields where a lot of Indians settled because of the shipping heritage. Subsequently there are dozens of Indian restaurants located all over the area mainly on Ocean Road where there are dozens to choose from so Indian food is in our DNA.
We had a drink in the local pub “The Chequers” with whom this restaurant shares a premises with. The staff and the locals were great and very friendly. It is a real local pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere. We were given a warm welcome and taken to our seats by a member of staff from the Gurkha Palace Restaurant and given a menu. The place had a lovely comfortable feeling and was full of friendly people celebrating birthdays and people just having a good time.
I have eaten Indian meals all over the world and The Gurkha Palace Restaurant ranks as one of the finest I have eaten in. The food is some of the best I have eaten and at a reasonable price. We ordered a variety of dishes, far more than we could eat, and everyone was cooked to perfection by their expert chefs. The staff and management are pleasure to speak to and super-efficient. The whole experience was so nice my wife insists that we make the 700-mile round trip again, just to eat in this establishment.
Thank you to the owner, the chefs and all staff in the Gurkha Palace and bar for making it a great night.

Organic Deli Cafe & Catering

24 Friars Entry, Oxford

Amazing cakes, with organic options widely available. I asked about teas without plastic wrapping, and was pleased to learn that their tea wrappings are plastic-free. Hot tea can sometimes leach plastics from fancy packaging, so I appreciated the owner taking the time to show me the packaging, which confirmed it’s free of plastics. The locally-made cakes—prepared by the owner's wife and another staff member—are incredible. The banana cake was the best I’ve ever tasted, and the Earl Grey tea was a real treat. Plus, the WiFi is hassle-free.

If you’re lucky enough to grab a spot downstairs, it’s a perfect place to relax before catching a bus to the airport or just after. Much less hassle than Caffè Nero, with better quality food and prices!

The tofu had a nice crispy layer, while being very soft inside. I found the aubergine a bit bitter or overcooked, unsure if it was due to the miso. For main, I've had the fried polenta with ratatouille, and it was delicious!! Not too much expensive, I guess in line with the cost of living in Oxford.

Peppers Burgers

84 Walton St, Oxford

As a veggie, Peppers serves up the sort of burger I have been craving since giving up meat all of those years ago. Such a reasonable price for something that was so satisfyingly delicious. None of that toasted brioche bun, 'dirty' (bland topping), 'smash' hype nonsense.
The veggie burger patties seemed homemade and were nothing but satiating. Unlike other meat substitutes, they did not make you feel like you need a detox after consuming. Chips were bloody lovely as well.

The choice of customisation options is a dream. I went for white shark sauce and aoili, with all of the usual suspects (lettuce, gherkin, tomato, onion and more...). A pleasant surprise is that you are not forced to take out a mortgage to add most toppings and sauces, this sadly feels like a throwback in comparison to other restaurants in the area (and beyond).

The inside of the joint has so much character. The decor is complemented by a calming, vibrant atmosphere, which made waiting for the burger a really pleasant experience. The people behind the magic were incredibly attentive, friendly and a pleasure to interact with. Peppers is not the sort of place where your order is placed on a system and lost to the ether, to be processed by faceless drones.

No doubt we will return disturbingly frequently to navigate through all of the combinations of toppings!

This is a classic English pub with everything you could ask for! They’ve got big screens everywhere, perfect for watching sports with friends. The service was quick and efficient, even when it was busy. There’s plenty of seating, so it never feels cramped, and the overall vibe is lively and welcoming. Whether you’re there for the game or just to relax with a drink, this pub nails it. Highly recommend for a great time! ??

The best sushi in Oxford! The food was delicious and fresh, and they gave us generous portions of everything! Their menu is vast, with many options for sushi lovers and more.

Parsonage Grill

1-3 Banbury Rd, Oxford

Had a decent meal here. The atmosphere would have been better had we (and another table of two) not been placed right next to a slightly boisterous table to gents at a reunion.
Service was good and the food was excellent, although the inclusion of regular pub crisps with the steak tartare was slightly odd for an otherwise perfect plate. The monkfish main was fabulous, I would recommend it and I would recommend a visit to the Parsonage if you're nearby.

Oli's Thai & Elle’s Deli

Wow, amazing - out-of-this-world-tasty food, excellent and friendly service and pretty special lattes!

Can’t recommend enough, good thing we don’t live in this part of town, otherwise I’d probably be there every day they have food on.

Favourites today were the aubergine curry and the stir-fried pork, although everything that comes out of this kitchen is truly magical! And so were the coffees - seriously good stuff, don’t think I have had such a great latte in ages.

Thank you to everyone at Elle’s looking after us today! We had a special bday celebration today and everyone at Elle’s today was so very accommodating and kind to our group. One of us was coeliac and it was great that many of the options were gluten-free for them.

Now, when can we go back next?

Unsurprisingly, this Oxford UK based coffee roaster makes great coffee!

Jericho Coffee Traders has three locations currently in the studious city, and this is my favourite. It's very cozy and intimate! I appreciate the friendly service, and branded cups (loooove the kitschiness of a branded cup). There are also a few gluten free and vegan treats available (but sadly, as of this writing this post, none that are both).

Go grab a cup of coffee!

Hidden Gem. Delicious artisan barista coffee and home made cake, plus bakery items and local baker bread options to take home.

Barista Ollie took pride in his coffee preparation, and Georgias customer service was to be envied as so good. Great example of an excelllent local cafe with loads of seating in/out and free parking. Hidden gem near all the big retail park, and easy stop
For trades to take out good food on the run.
