For a convivial, conversational evening with colleagues or friends, the Old Parsonage is simply the best venue in Oxford - elegant, cozy surroundings, blissfully music-free and typically a quiet and civilized clientele. They will make every effort to accommodate diner's requirements for seating and other needs. On this occasion, my guest was delayed well past our booking time; despite the restaurant being fully booked, the OP graciously accommodated us.

Superb - food, cocktails, wine, service. We went for the set menu - we couldn't believe how good the options were and 3 excellent courses all for £31.50. We 3 all chose the curried cauliflower soup (a deliciously smooth veloute), one calves liver, one fresh Cornish plaice, and a superb steak. Treacle tart and Panna Cotta with plums for dessert, delish!
