anyone from oxford recommend a nice place for lunch on saturday?

[brimfull]

for dh,myself and 3 children(two teens and a 4yr),
And is there a park and ride?

there are lots of decent, child friendly places in Oxford Castle. it's going to be busy so that might be good to give you plenty of options.
there;s a Pizza Express, a Carluucios here and a HaHa canteen.
I really like a place called the Nose bag but it will be heaving for sure.
there are several park and rides, depending which end of town you approach from.
where are you coming from?

I'm not in Oxford but we had some nice family meals at Carluccios there in the summer. In the converted castle bit, I'm sure someone else will be able to remember what it's called. I'm pretty certain there's a park and ride.

if you have a bit of money to spend (don't know your budget) then Quod is VERY nice imho

we'll be coming from southcoast.
Actually coming just to take a pair of boots back to Ravel as it's the nearest shop.
Dreading the business actually,I usually avoid the shops on a saturday.

at tamum
oxford castle
Tootsies do posh burgers, popular with the young folk

oh and there's an open air ice rink at the mo if you want to get cold and bruised at £9 a pop

quod place looks nice !

ok if you're coming up the A34 you need redbridge
remember you need to pay for parking AND the bus in the Oxford Park and Ride

"Harpsichordcarrier is sponsored by the Oxford Tourist Board"

Quod is a great restaurant imho
Gee's in the same chain is SHIT though and you can quote me

thanks for all the info,will have to make it a nice day as I'm dragging the whole family up there becasue of these bloody boots!

Not that they needed much persuasion,dd loves the idea of strutting around oxford looking intelligent ..harhar

have a great time

Just got back from Oxford,had a great lunch in Tootsies so thank you very much.
Dh was very impressed with the power of mumsnet as we'd never have found it.

so thanks again.
lovely place btw.

quod is nice, had a lovely girly lunch there in the summer, quite a few families there too. There's always Browns of course

Oh! You've been already!

Glad it went well. Parking not too hideous then?

No we used park and ride ,painless!

Gees is very overpriced as well. We like Branca's, in Jericho, for future reference. glad you had a nice time.

The Trout at Godstow

Pruni. Yes`I am. You can stalk me any time.
I like the Trout dino [it is dino?] but gets very crowded. Better is the Perch on the other side of the meadow.

what's the White Hart at Wytham like these days - it used to be fab when I were a lass

White Hart is lovely - we wanted to do ds's christening party there, but it was just a bit too pricey! Has gone very posh, since i was here as a student, but really nice, especially in summer for a posh-ish meal. Good food.
