The Porterhouse Grill & Rooms

A small but exceptionally well crafted menu. Great expertise with steak! We chose the 1050g Porthouse. Honestly can say possibly the best steak I've had. The sides again limited but am a believer of do less but well. In this case very well. The cocktails also well made and on point. Staff knowledgeable and friendly and a great atmosphere. A little off the main drag but that only benefits the place

4.5* Went here for a birthday meal. Starters were great, had the bread & olives + mackerel pate. Two sirloin steaks, both ordered medium rare, one was perfect and the other more medium, but can’t complain - very well seasoned. Shared a sticky toffee pudding (awesome) and a bottle of rose also. Bill - £157 inc service charge. Nice and tucked away, short walk from city centre and a cosy vibe. Would definitely go back.

Rght in the middle of old Oxford, walking distance to absolutely beautiful scenery. Lovely decor and great service. Caught up with friends for lunch, not cheap but our hostess was excellent and always attentive to the table, great steak and 4 bottles of wine later I'm struggling to remember much else.

My partner and I stayed here for a night for a Christmas get away. It was the perfect stay from start to finish! Staff were extremely attentive and very friendly, the rooms were beautiful with the beds being super comfy, and my partner said the breakfast grill was the best he's ever had! Will definitely stay again if we visit Oxford again over night. Highly recommend. ||* the thing I'd say is parking is a bit limited but staff are happy to advise on this.

Alan and Nicola were amazing tonight. My husband and I went back there for our little “Christmas before Christmas” and very enjoyed it! The Chataubriands were amazing, so were the cocktails!! The wine was very good and the service provided was top notch! Thank you both and we hope to see you soon!

This is a stylish and delicious restaurant! Had lunch there today with a friend - the steak sandwich with packed with thin steak slices, mushroom relish and salad and was yummy. The accompanying chips were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - very good! The smoked mackerel pate had loads of flavour, and came with slightly pickled carrot sticks and cucumber slices, plus sourdough toast - a lovely combination of flavours. The coleslaw and the walnut, Stilton and lettuce salads were brilliant. The puddings - chocolate fondant and sticky toffee pudding, both with very good ice cream - were excellent. All the food showed that there is a chef in the kitchen, who cares about providing their customers with a really good experience, and has very good judgment in combining ingredients for tasty results. The Porterhouse is tucked away in Mill Street, just on the Botley Road side of the train station. It is a hidden gem. It deserves to be recognised as one of Oxford’s best restaurants. The room is elegant and sophisticated, but also welcoming and warm. The service is warm and friendly.

I would like to thank very much Mariana, Sue and the nice lady with the blue hair for beeing so nice with us during our stay. They are very kind and very efficient. They are Porterhouse's soul. The hotel is very beautifull and clean and I dare to say that porterhouse's restaurant is the best place to eat in Oxford, specially if you are looking for real food. Keep the great work. I hope to get back someday.

THE BEST STEAK I HAVE EVER HAD FULL STOP!!!! Major congratulations to the Chef, steak was superbly cooked!! Mine medium well and my Brother in Laws medium rare, both steaks cooked to perfection and a picture perfect match for any steak cooking chart/diagram! It was tender, juicy and melted in my mouth and the portion of chips that came with it was HUGE!!! There were 5 in our group 4 adults and a 14yr old child (no kids menu!!). My Brother in Law and I had one Côte De Boeuf each, My Mother Sister and Niece had the poussin. They also had Chess, which was a welcome distraction while waiting for our food, we almost managed to finish our game before the food came. Regarding service, I do not go to Steakhouses or Steak Pubs very often and the Steak was spread across two menus which I found a bit confusing, I must admit our Waitress didn't do a great job of explaining how the steak ordering process worked very well so my Sister had to step in and explain it to me..... perhaps me being a bit dense.... Prices were a bit higher than I expected and steak prices are not shown on the menu as far as I remember (could be wrong!). Location is a Pub not a Steakhouse as some reviews have pointed out hence my surprise at the prices. However the food really was EXCELLENT and more or less worth the price IMO. For 4 adults and a child with one starter no alcohol and no pudding the bill was £200+, each steak was £75!! Décor was nice, interior had a relaxed Bar Saloon type feel. Overall 4 stars due to price and service but 10 stars for the delicious food and ample portions!! Would visit again! Much better than the Vegan pub down the road!!!!!....... Vegan pub, who ever heard of such a thing!.... LOL

We stopped on our way driving through Oxford. We were hungry and looked on yelp and were so pleased to find this lovely pub. Wonderful ambience and food. Steak was delicious! Great service. And we had a really good chocolate dessert.

A great steakhouse without needing the qualifier in Oxford. I went with my son and had a fantastic sharing steak, comparable to Hawksmoor or a top-US steakhouse. Outside of the pedestrian menu options, they give you a menu of the day's beef, an assortment of sharing rib eyes, porterhouses and chateaubriands, with the size and recommended number of people very clear. Our ribeye (cote de beouf) was incredible, cooked perfectly as ordered with a great char. Nice wine list with good options by the glass, 500 ML carafe or bottle. The only downside was a very, very limited number of starter options. Also nice to get out of the tourist area but stilll only a 10 min walk from the city centre. Hope to get back to Oxford again for another visit.

A great cozy old school steakhouse with delicious steaks. Even better service (Francesca was super sweet and helpful) and excellent draught beer!! A bit pricey but well worth it. Make sure to make time to stop by this amazing place when visiting Oxford.

I am from the United States and know what a great steak taste like. I can tell you, The Porterhouse has some of the best steak I've ever had in my life. Staff is superb and the ambience is excellent. I have been twice now and have left fat and happy both times!

This is a steak-lover's paradise with a bounty of aged-beef cooked to perfection, knowledgeable staff with a passion for sharing the best of British produce and aged steaks with their customers. Tucked away on a quiet residential street, it's worth the visit. The restaurant, which includes a small number of rooms for overnight guests, is tastefully decorated and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Truly worth the visit!

This restaurant is AMAZING!!! One of the best steak restaurants ever and I have been to some of the best Cut, Ruth Chris, Arnie Morton's. The quality of the meat is really top notch. Organic, grass feed - really great. Good wine list, service is great. A must go to in Oxford.

The service is very kind. The restaurant is very convenient to find, the environment is very warm, more and more people will come in.

Grassfed steak is the reason why I came here to see if the UK lives up to standards better than America. Tender and juicy and didn't have to send any back. You made us Men happy!
