Take sanctuary from the street-level bustle and dive in to the flavours of local British cuisine, our all-day neighbourhood brasserie nestled at home in the Courtyard Oxford South Hotel. With leather snugs, Oxfordshire inspired details, exposed bricks, soft handwoven textures, this intimate Oxfordshire restaurant and bar is a perfect antidote to busy life. Featuring an open kitchen with a stone pizza oven, alfresco terrace dining, and an urban lounge bar.

The Oxen offers a super cool casual dining spot, for local inspired food, craft beers, wines, gins and cocktails. Our menus feature local produce from Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, with award winning rare breed longhorn steaks, freshly made pizzas, and seasonally inspired cuisine. Farm to plate at its best.

The appearance of the two waiting staff was very poor, shirts looked like they needed a wash and iron. One of us had “fish & chips” and part way through found that it was uncooked. It was removed from bill.

Positives: - The staff were friendly and accommodating. - The establishment was clean and had a modern atmosphere. Negatives: - The food lacked flavor and was disappointingly basic in quality. It also wasn't served very warm. - The carvery chef was often absent, resulting in long queues and delays. - Many of the food stations were frequently empty, requiring guests to wait for refills.

Chilli chicken was nice but the hunter’s chicken was marinaded in bbq sauce rather than the sauce being on the dish which made it a bit dry. Standard chain hotel restaurant food. Don’t expect anything more.

Unbelievably overpriced for incredibly poor quality food. Had to send first dish back as it was stone cold, second replacement came and it wasn’t much better. Only good bit was the two younger lads working there who couldn’t have been more polite. Wish we’d gone to Miller and Carter instead if we’d realised it was there!

This review is based on the Sunday Carvery. The soup was pleasant, but lukewarm. Main course was verging on unpleasant, with very odd tasting soft roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese and parsnip - they all tasted kind of soapy! The cheese was good though. Not an experience I will be repeating any time soon.
