Located conveniently in the Covered Market, I loved grabbing a treat here after an afternoon browsing the wares and people watching. The prices were reasonable and the sizes appropriate for the cost -- though not too large. I personally appreciate this, as someone who may be the tiiiiiiiiniest bit lactose intolerant. Maybe. I'm willing to suffer for love, though. Definitely not to be missed if you're at the covered market!

Great selection of Chocolates, Biscuits, Sweets etc. But…read morehave been twice in the last week and both times it was terrible. I feel like the milkshakes were so thick, the straw did not work. In the end I used a spoon. Also the toppings were invisible and tasteless. I think throughout the years they are going downhill with the top tier service they used to give every customer.

The place was crowded with tourists (Surprise, surprise) but it doesn't matter. The staff were helpful and proactive at cutting the line down.

I can't wait to drop back in to collect more darling tins, foreign candies and souveneirs for home.

All of the standard favorites: humbugs, sherbet dips, chocolate-covered everything, fruit-shaped everything...you get the idea. But imagine my absolute surprise when I spied a shelf stocked with American candy, cereals, and snacks...including my favorite: Cheetos. Not even 48 hour prior, I was telling my husband that I would go to obscene lengths to have a bag of Cheetos, so strong was my craving for the vile snack food. Little did I know that all I needed to do was go to Oxford and visit Hardy's. Sorted! Now excuse me while I go wash the orange from my fingers...

The shop is TINY and there's only room for a few people in there at a time. I suggest grabbing a menu outside and then deciding before you make it inside. I had the Chicken Curry sandwich and it was so delicious I dove straight in and didn't even take a photo. Portions are generous. One thing you should plan ahead for is a place to sit if you choose not to walk and eat. Unfortunately, the Alternative Tuck Shop doesn't have any seating indoors or outdoors. Highly recommend this spot!!

Inside the tight quarters, the choices were well marked so ordering and payment was easy enough. After ordering they bring it out to you back outside.

At least, those of them from Mississippi State always said this -- perhaps because, as a major AG school, many of us take the production of good ice cream very seriously. We're not called a cow college for nothing. :) G & D's, of course, refers to George and Davis. And, indeed, they have very, very good ice cream. I tend to keep it simple with chocolate, and theirs was always stellar. They have a couple locations around town so you can pick the one most convenient to you. It's a very popular place with a loyal following of students, residents, and tourists alike, and definitely worth giving a try.
