Food Scene

Our local pub and just 2 minutes stumbling distance up the Abingdon Road, does a great wood fired pizzas and locally brewed beer! Perfect and affordable. Also, coffee and pastries in the day makes this place a perfect all rounder. Enjoy!

My favourite Thai place is a wonderful dive bar, about a 5 minute walk from the apartment opposite the entrance to Christchurch College. The Old Tom is not much to look at but has seating for 15 in the bar and then another 20 in the ‘restaurant’ area at the back so book if you can! Owned and ran by a Thai family, it’s great value and the food is authentic. Make sure you have the Kanom Jeeb dumplings 🥟 FYI the Old Tom is named after the bell that tolls in Christchurch Cathedral!

This is so much more than pub grub.French owner Michelle and his fab wife Jackie serve the best French food for a very reasonable price. Check out early set menu and grab a glass of real ale :) mmm

Best curry in and around Jericho. Very small so if you wanna eat in, book in advance but for a takeaway it is just as good.

It's an experience! Take someone who wants to buy you dinner and enjoy :) Booking recommended as it gets busy and is a 30 min taxi ride but well worth it for their amazing Thai food and Sunday lunch!

So. Much. Fun! On weekends, the pianists are in the mood to play and sing some tunes. Grab a Pinaquri (pineapple daiquiri) and gather round the piano for a singalong! You can request songs and will have lost your voice by the end of the night.

Steeped in history, this pub is not only the friendliest but also the cheapest in the whole of Oxford. Recently refurbished, it’s still a cool pub to see the St John’s undergrads have a break from study.

Like live music? Hidden behind Jericho’s Walton Street and run by the lovely Ian, this pub comes alive on Sunday evenings from 8pm. Also very nice pub garden for summer.

Awesome pub. Totally my local and wicked in the summer on front terrace or round the back with the dirty smokers, they also do some quality pies / pub food etc. Not the cheapest pub but worth it.

Great coffee, ice cream and cakes

Lovely new cafe right next to the apartment with awesome coffee and views of the river and a little outside seating area 😀
Friendly team who run it and it’s super close and convenient to the apartment!
