Old Parsonage Bar Restaurant - Oxford

We had High Tea here for Valentine's Day and both the meal and the staff were fabulous. We didn't stay overnight as we live locally but we often dine here and the food and service is always excellent particular thanks to the waiter who gave us a fabulous table in a side room after we requested a quiet table. The High Tea is excellent with perfect cakes and sandwiches, beautifully presented on a platter. It is a real treat (and we found ordering High Tea for one is enough food for 2 people). The staff are excellent friendly and helpful without being overbearing. All in all highly recommended.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Great food, great service, wonderful venue, cozy with a real buzz. Staff were attentive and we were not rushed off our table.

We had a lovely looking afternoon high tea, but unfortunately it didn't taste as good as it looked. Despite a wide variety of food, the flavors were lacking. The sandwiches and cakes were bland, with dry carrot cake and soggy cheesecake. The scones were the highlight and saved the overall experience, earning a positive review on Tripadvisor.

I dined here with my husband and it was a delightful experience. The restaurant has a stunning building and we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The staff were attentive and accommodating, and the food was delicious. It was an overall wonderful dining experience, enhanced by the warm and thoughtful service.

Glorious food, superb service, wonderful atmosphere enveloping everyone with warmth and joy. A perfect evening.
