Excellent service at the Bar seating area, where we drank and ate. Diogo was excellent as usual, and the management and waiting staff were excellent. We eat here every other week, and it is 100% consistent in all aspects... This is a very good restaurant with good food and drinks. Thank you. Andrew & Stephanie

About the restaurant

Founded in 1989 by Jeremy Mogford, Parsonage Grill is a Cotswold-esque bolthole located within the 5 star 17th century Old Parsonage Hotel in central Oxford on Banbury Road.

Famous for its intimate, bohemian, clubby atmosphere, the Parsonage Grill and its private dining space, the ‘Pike Room’, displays a carefully curated collection of eclectic oil paintings, original stone fireplaces, leaded light windows and a Bloomsbury club ambience throughout. Outside, inspired by the legendary Jardin Majorelle, created by Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakech, a beautiful walled terrace sits dappled in the sun. This newly revitalised space seamlessly blends traditional British elegance with the vibrant energy of North Africa.

The Parsonage Grill team take pride in creating classic British dishes with a modern, light touch, and are open every day of the year to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner and our famous afternoon teas, in the company of Oxford’s academic and literary luminaries...

We were looking for a nice anniversary supper and came across Oxtwo on a website. Had a quick look at the menu and we were quite intrigued. Not the usual run of the mill. This turned out to be one of our best meals out in ages. Great ambience - lovely staff who all knew their stuff from the wine to the food to the beers. Great chicken wings, chicken liver brûlée, chips, chicken salad etc… The IPA was brilliant and the other half loved the house white. All in all a great night out with lovely staff. We will be telling everyone about it.

About the restaurant

Pho Oxford is a healthy Vietnamese restaurant with loads of vegan and gluten free options.

We specialise in phở, the Vietnamese noodle soup and also serve delicious curries, rice dishes, wok-fried noodles, and fresh salads too. Our starters such as summer rolls and spring rolls are perfect for sharing with friends and family. We also offer an entirely gluten free dessert menu with dishes like Pandan waffles, condensed milk ice cream and a Vietnamese affogato.

Over a third of our menu is vegan, and nearly all of it is gluten-free, so we are a great destination for people who follow those particular dietary restrictions. We are also accredited by Coeliac UK.

Aside from our lovely food we offer a brilliant range of healthy juices, as well as delicious wine and beer, and a fantastic cocktail menu too.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Good attention from staff made this celebratory lunch special. We were told at the start of dishes either unavailable or in short supply. The fixed price menu ensures good value. A great experience.
