   This is my favourite restaurant in Oxford, a real gem which never fails to delight and make you feel life is looking up, even when it might not be ! The portrait in the Gents of Modest Mussorgsky is brilliant. Instantly recognisable and so displays the power of music. A supremely talented composer, who died young of an excess of drink; something I’ve been trying to avoid myself! Now to return from the Gents to the restaurant , the service is impeccable, the food just great and the wine list delightful. I am rarely moved to write reviews but this place is great. In the summer you sit in the walled garden , in the winter inside in just lovely surroundings. I even bought the hand cream !

   The indoor dining room of the Parsonage is a great place to eat in the winter. Very cosy, with great art. The food is not outstanding but it is reliably very good and the service is efficient and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Strongly recommend.

   This restaurant is getting rather expensive for both food and wine. The menu increasingly avoids red meat options (the only red meat option was a single steak option).

   Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your feedback on pricing and menu variety, and we’ll consider offering more red meat options to better cater to diverse preferences. -Sam, Restaurant Manager

   Breakfast at the Old Parsonage in cosy, quiet surroundings. Service excellent. Food and drink well prepared. Loses a couple of points for the prices charged to walk-ins (though we appreciated the willingness to serve off-menu items at reasonable prices).

   Some of the food wasn’t up to the normal standard. The Chicken Schnitzel was quite bland. Also our waiter wasn’t bursting with fruit flavour.
