The Best Restaurants In Oxford - Oxford - The Infatuation

"As much as it’s a local drinking den first, The Magdalen Arms is a pub for feasting very closely after. Which is mostly the case on the weekends when booking a table is essential if you want in on the Sunday roast. You’re equally as likely to see five-year-olds zooming around the burgundy room of this gastropub on Iffley Road, as you are couples holding hands across the table while sharing a slice of burnt basque cheesecake. The walls are adorned with mounted animal heads that have seen everything from wholesome Father’s Day lunches, to rowdy post-work pints, and everything in between. The food is good without being amazing, with things like sizzling garlic prawns and heartier slow-cooked lamb shoulder on the daily changing menu." - rianne shlebak
