"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

"An old and undistinguished boozer about half an hour’s walk from the city centre was taken over by the people behind London’s esteemed Anchor and Hope, so regulars there will know roughly what to expect. The hero dishes are the ones to share: Hereford steak and ale suet crust pie, or the slow cooked lamb shoulder. Those with less gargantuan appetites — or, it has to be said, wallets — can take advantage of a good-value set lunch and early supper deal." - Alexander Larman
