Saturday, 29th February 2020 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford We haven’t been to the Oxford Kitchen since it got its current – and much deserved – Michelin star, partly because we’ve not been in Oxford much, and partly because as a result of the award it’s a lot harder to get a table now than…

Food 2020 – Pompette, Oxford
Thursday, 27th February 2020 – Pompette, Oxford, Alsatian Wine Dinner Sometimes, when doing other things, you blunder across something unexpected but welcome. Such was the case in Oxford the other weekend, when we went to a talk at Blackwell’s bookshop and then needed to find lunch afterwards. There was a place in Summertown that had…
Food 2020 – Pompette, Oxford
Saturday 8th February, 2020 – Pompette, Oxford Oxford is a strange city in food terms (not as dire as Cambridge, though it remains a mystery given the amount of money washing around as to why precisely there aren’t many good and/or high end restaurants in either city). However, of late Oxford has improved considerably, with…
Food 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford
Tuesday, 17th July 2018 – Provence Wine and Food Evening, The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford For what I think is their first ever wine and food evening, we found ourselves at the Oxford Kitchen on a school night, having finally managed to find a parking space (always problematic in Oxford) that was at least within sight…
Food 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford
Saturday, 24th March 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford This was our second visit to the Oxford Kitchen, mainly to confirm that we were right the first time about how good it is. With plans to be in the town on Friday night post Copenhagen for a college reunion, it seemed like a good plan…
Food 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford
Saturday 20th January, 2018 – The Oxford Kitchen, Oxford Finally, 8 days after my birthday, we actually got to go and have a celebratory dinner. We had intended to do it the previous weekend, but I was outsmarted by OpenTable, and my booking at The Harrow in Little Bedwyn somehow got transposed from Saturday to…
Food 2016 – Morse Bar/Ashmolean Dining Room, Oxford
Saturday, 15th October 2016 – The Morse Bar/The Ashmolean Dining Room, Oxford A trip to Oxford was always on the cards this Autumn after the Ashmolean Museum announced that they were exhibiting four Rembrandt paintings (his earliest known works) so we knew we needed to see those. It helps that the Ashmolean, since it was…
Travel/Food 2006 – Oxford, UK
Saturday, 28th May 2006 – Oxford The weekend was gloomy in weather terms, though we made the most of it. Late on Friday afternoon, Gina arrived for the weekend, and after champagne and the latest episode of Doctor Who we hit the Rice Bowl for Chinese. As usual it was very good. A session on the…
Travel 2006 – Oxford, UK
Saturday, 4th March 2006 – Oxford College reunions can be dangerous! Where do I start? Good question. There wasn’t anything to suggest the weekend was going to get badly derailed, at least not to begin with. I treated myself to a gym session early on Saturday, knowing we’d be eating lunch and dinner in Oxford,…
