Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Oxford

I have been a diner at The White Hart for almost 20 years - since Mark and Kay arrived. In itself I think that speaks for the consistent quality, ambience and standard of service I have enjoyed over the years. I recommend The White Hart to anyone who is looking for a fantastic dining experience where service and cooking are first class and a warm welcome is assured. The White Hart is my first choice for a celebration or for an experience to impress a fellow guest.

The Manor provided an exceptional experience for our group of eight from the moment we arrived. The venue was beautifully decorated and radiated a festive atmosphere. The staff greeted us warmly upon arrival and ensured we were well looked after until it was time to be seated for our meal. Every member of the team was helpful, polite, and attentive, showing great care in handling our food and drink orders with precision. The management went above and beyond to make our visit even more special, both during and after the meal. The atmosphere was perfect, and the staff’s consistent check-ins added to the seamless experience. It was evident that their shared commitment to excellence stemmed from the leadership and professionalism of the management team. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the evening, which was filled with fantastic entertainment, fun, and laughter—all made possible by the outstanding efforts of The Manor’s team. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Great experience with really fantastic food that was made with a lot of thought and love. Each dish delivered beautiful flavours. The wine accompanying was also great. Service was great and understated. Definitely recommend for a great food experience.

The website seems to be out of date, it suggests fine dining with seasonal produce but upon arrival we were met with the ‘all day’ menu which, whilst very nice, wasn’t the reason we booked this hotel. The food was very nice but ‘pub grub’ with one or two exceptions. Two choices of dessert, crumble or sticky toffee pudding. Expected a dining experience as the website mentions duck, blue cheese soufflé etc but sadly it didn’t deliver what we thought we had booked.

Good overall but flexibility over the mune would be a better. We asked for no goats cheese with cheese board and was refused as it was prepacked expect better from here alicart restaurant
