11:38am Friday 7th November 2008
Restaurants open and close with more regularity than Primark's tills, but bustling away in the background are Oxford's stalwarts, which work hard to stay on top – they’re the Madonnas of the hospitality industry.
STOP PRESS: SAHARA, OXFORD
2:05pm Friday 24th October 2008
As a result of my musings about the fate of this forlorn restaurant/bar in Blue Boar Street, I've since learned that the place has been taken over - today, I believe - by the owner of the Duke of Cambridge, in Little Clarendon Street.
BITE-SIZED REVIEW: Rumblin Tums, A40 near Eynsham
2:37pm Thursday 23rd October 2008
For a place that serves up what might be described as fast food, Rumblin Tums is somewhat laid back.
SEACOURT BRIDGE INN, WEST WAY, BOTLEY
2:42pm Thursday 23rd October 2008
It's always upper case and italicised, white on a black background, featuring the dreaded words ‘Sky Sports’ or ‘Setanta’. It’s the writing on a pub chalkboard (usually an A-frame outside the premises) and it spells trouble.

Diddy chairs and the smell of disinfectant — weren't our school days meant to be the best time of our lives?
The Fox, Hyde Road, Denchworth, near Grove 01235 868258
3:31pm Thursday 16th October 2008
YOU'LL have to travel 76 miles before you get a sniff of sea air — to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, no less — but you can now get fine seafood from Britain and abroad in a quaint, thatched pub in the Vale of White Horse.
Mario's, 103 Cowley Road, 01865 722955
2:34pm Friday 10th October 2008
With a name like Mario's, a red, white and green sign and rows of Italian football scarves on the walls, this compact restaurant in Cowley Road certainly looks authentic.
