British, Modern Restaurants in Hampton Poyle
1. Cherwell Boathouse
British, Modern restaurant in Oxford
Bardwell Road - OX2
“One of Oxford’s classiest dining establishments” – “the location and atmosphere are hard to beat” at this beautifully situated destination on the banks of the river Cherwell – a working boathouse for punts, which has been in operation for over five decades – and which unsurprisingly is “lovely by the water in summer” and “very cheery” inside too: so “very much a place to head for” for many an occasion. It has long been known for its “deep wine list”, but the straightforward food too “has come a long way in recent years and just seems to get better every time” – “not cheap but well worth it”.
2. The Feathers Hotel
British, Modern restaurant in Woodstock
Market St - OX20
At last and after a substantial refurb – (which reputedly cost new owner Daniel Ede £4million) this boutique townhouse hotel near Blenheim Palace is back and its restaurant, Nest (geddit?) “is returning to previous culinary standards – with an updated, modern British menu” and “while not terribly cheap” fans say “the cooking compares very favourably with many other places in Oxfordshire”. “The staff are very friendly and the newly refurbished dining room is a pleasure to dine in”.
3. The White Hart
British, Modern restaurant in Wytham
2023 Review: “A foodie gem”, this well-known eighteenth-century pub in a village on the outskirts of Oxford has been going through a period of flux, hence we’ve removed a rating for the time being. High-profile chef Jon Parry joined in summer 2022, after our annual diners’ poll had concluded, having made a name for himself cooking over an open fire at The Mash Inn in Buckinghamshire, and declared his ambition to ‘turn The White Hart into something really special’. Four months later, owner Baz Butcher announced his intention to sell up and retire to France.
4. Gee’s
British, Modern restaurant in Oxford
61 Banbury Rd - OX2
Humbly billed on its website as ‘Oxford’s Most Beautiful Restaurant’, this former Victorian florists’ – just outside the city-centre as you head north – has a gorgeous greenhouse-style interior and has been packed out for four decades now. Feedback on its Mediterranean cuisine, however, is perennially patchy and indifferent and this year is no exception.
