FUELLING UP

Whilst Oxford’s culinary scene may not set every ardent foodie’s taste buds to tingling for want of the most refined or Michelin starred offerings, the diversity, quality and, indeed, quantity of the city’s eateries still has plenty to tantalise the palette:

The Folly Tucked along from the hustle and bustle of St Aldate’s, the High Street and the Westgate, and nestled against Folly Bridge, there floats the refined elegance of The Folly. Floats, because the dining experience comes with the opportunity of a 30 minute pre-dinner river cruise, returning to the riverside terrace to select from the three course a la carte menu – summer dining done like few others can.

No1 Ship Street A favoured spot for our friends from England Rugby, and with good reason: standard dining experience this is not. Since it took over the location from the old News Café, No1 Ship Street has been wowing customers with its sophisticated menu and understated, peaceful luxury, all at decidedly palatable prices.

Oxford Green Week Taking place after Half Term, from 8th–16th June, Oxford Green Week sees pop up events taking place across the city, all on a green, environmentally friendly theme. This year the inspiration comes from the One Planet Living project, a vision that seeks to create a world existing happily within the Earth’s resources. The events during the week bring together organisations and businesses that support an environmentally sustainable message, from electric cars to locally-sourced food stalls.
