Hi as above really – going to visit there with my girlfriend and we would like some locals to suggest somewhere good to eat midweek – nothing too flash or extravagent !

I thank you in advance !

Cheers

The Nosebag has always been a nice spot.

Thank you !

The Punter, by the Thames on a residential street just outside centre. Nice beer and pub grub

Chester Arms, on Chester St off Iffley Road.

Just get down the Cowley Road. Atomic Burger is awesome.

Loads of stuff on Cowley Road, atomic burger is great if you’re after a novelty environment and decent burgers. The punter on Osney Island is nice, but I’d say it’s expensive.

I just park at intend of Cowley Road and stop when something takes my fancy.

Cowley Road as visitor from out of town is a bit of a dump and not very central. I’d go more Little Clarendon St. / Walton St. area.

If you really want to do the tourist thing then the King’s Arms or Turf Tavern. They will be proper bog standard pub food mind.

Gardners Arms, Jericho

Does damn fine food at reasonable prices, with great beer too. It’s veggie only. Not-usually-my-bag at all.

But it’s damn fine veggie stuff.

atomic burger also do pizzas, with eclectic but very tasty toppings

Pierre Victoire on Little Clarendon is reasonably priced (and a little bit more romantic/posh) and every time I’ve been there I’ve had really good food and service (including when they were absolutely rammed full and they knew I was paying with a raffle prize voucher). Duke of Cambridge a couple of doors away has a happy hour with half price cocktails, offset with a high Tarquin content…

The Gardeners Arms is probably my favourite pub (in Clarkson tone), in the world.

I’m not local but visited The White Rabbit earlier this year & thought it was great! Pizza & Ale!

I used to go to Brown’s some years ago, not been recently though.
IIRC you needed to book ahead on popular nights eg. Friday, Saturday, Sunday etc.

Used to be my regular lunch stop in Oxford, but had gone a little downhill when I last went (Admittedly about three years ago!)

Not a direct result of yoir visits I trust?
I think the last one I went to was in Windsor.

Just had a burger in the punter. Bloody hell that was nice, best burger I’ve had in years. It was £12 for a double burger n’ chips.

Another vote for the punter.

Always find this type of post interesting being a local. Was in the punter last week but did not eat. They’ve been pretty good in the past. There’s a bloody good Chinese on Walton Street next to Londis.
Gardeners Arms is ace.

White Rabbit cannot be forgiven for replacing the Gloucester Arms.

T’was an awesome rock pub. Was even better when they used to offer a 10oz gammon steak burger with unlimited chips for a fiver. Then let you double up to a 20oz monster for an extra £2.
Best jukebox in the world also.

Did the Punter used to be Walter Mitty’s?

Sounds like a quality establishment, no doubt attracting a discerning clientele!
