The Indian Thali platter- curry, tasty aloo sag (potato and a green), salad, mango chutney, basmati rice, pappadam [£10.95]. The medley mushroom pie- delicious puff pastry filled mixed mushrooms in a red wine and safe gravy served with Italian style roasted potatoes and mixed seasonal vegetables [£10.95].

The veggie burger appeared and tasted like real beef. It's offered as a single or double where you can choose from different condiments such as garlic mayo, mango chutney, burger relish, curried mayo, chili sauce, or your standard mustard. It comes with a generous serving of chips (fries). For a veggie burger, it is surprisingly filling. This place made such an impression on Ryan S. and I that we came back a second time. I couldn't do another veggie burger but ordered the Greek Salad. Prices are a little higher than other places but they serve pretty big portions. Beers are solid. Have a seat out in the backyard if the weather is warm.

    BOTTOM LINE: Although the food was great, the service left a bit of a bad aftertaste…read more Located next to the infamous Sally Lunn's, Oak (previously known as Acorn - get it?! - and still listed as such on Yelp) is located in the core area of Bath. It's a small space, and I can't imagine there being space for more than 25-30 diners (or even less), and each table as relatively small in size (more on this later). First, the good part. The food remains the main attraction, and ingredients across the board tasted consistently fresh. Whether it was the HAZELNUT RISOTTO, the ROASTED COURGETTES/ZUCCHINI, the BEETS, or the TOMATO SOUP, I found they were prepared to a high standard. The dishes are meant to be sharing plates, but this can cause some table real estate problems (also, more on this later). But now, the not-so-good part, the comparatively poorer service, especially when compared to similarly-priced restaurants (e.g., Sotto Sotto), or even less (e.g., Sally Lunn, Yak Yeti Yak, etc.), and then the gall to charge a higher service percentage of 12.5%. For example, my group of 5 experienced both the problems of servers removing plates prematurely (when there was clearly uneaten food), but also not removing plates UNLESS requested to do so, despite finished plates being stacked to make room for new dishes. Similarly, beyond the initial ordering of water and drinks, staff didn't follow up on this, and we had to request new water jugs throughout the meal. Finally, although staff atitudes weren't negative per se, they did seem somewhat indifferent/detached. All these points may seem nit-picky, but I think it's not unreasonable to expect better service at these prices. Ultimately, Oak comes up on many recommended restaurant lists, but after this experience, although I'd still recommend it, I wouldn't be too upset if you can't manage to get a reso here given so many other great alternatives.

    Absolutely scrumptious vegetarian and vegan dishes that leave you feeling refreshed and satiated!…read moreAs a tapas style, the small plates are well-priced with the recommendation of ordering 2-3 per person and sharing amongst everybody. Note that the restaurant has rebranded to OAK Restaurant with a new website, but still has the same address and contact information. The menu is quite short with only a dozen choices or so, but each dish has the finest quality of ingredients and refined yet light taste. We ordered all the dishes recommended to us by the server and loved each one: - Nocellara olives (£4.75) - Beetroot tartare, smoked almond cream (£8.95) - Heritage tomato panzanella (£8.50) - Black pepper chickpeas, smoked cashew butter, summer greens (£9.45) - Jersey curd agnolotti, hazelnuts, spinach and butter emulsion (£10.75) Dessert was delicious as well: - Stewed plums, brandy ice cream, almond crumb (£8.25) - Dark chocolate and salted caramel tart, mint ice cream (£8.25) The restaurant was not that busy with only a couple other tables filling in after coming in for our Tuesday noon reservation. We were seated at a corner booth next to a window on the ground floor, which had a relaxing breeze coming through. The cost of five open jars of sparkling water was £3. A 12.50% service charge was added onto the bill.

Suprisingly I have not found other vegetarian places here in Oxford, although most places have vegetarian options. A good selection of salads, one was quite spicy. The owner told me that they have many families coming. The place is children friendly and prices are very reasonable. The place itself is not very fancy, but I don't need fancy when the food is so good.

I found The Magic Cafe after research. Showing up at 10am provided me a nice quiet place to read. The place was large and inviting and the chairs were comfortable. I ordered a twinings tea for a little over £1. At noon it was clear this place is a favorite for locals. It became extremely busy, especially with moms and their children. The atmosphere changed, so it was not a time to read. But it was time for my lunch. The special was: Porcini mushroom risotto with bruschetta and salad £5.70 The meals of the day were: Lentil and vegetable lasagna £3.50 Sweet potato and coconut soup £3.00 Full salad 4.50 Half plate salad 3.00 Quarter 1.50 They serve the food right from the counter. (While drinking tea earlier, they were working very diligently.) I ordered the veggie lasagna. It contained lentils, zucchini, and carrots. It was piping warm out of the large casserole dish they serve from and had a great flavor. It was delicious! I also ordered a brownie based on other reviews. It was tasty with a noticeable hint of espresso. The employees were sweet and the locals are friendly; I joined a pair at a table due to the place filling up fast. If I lived in Oxford I would return to this place again.

    We visited this National Trust self-service cafe on a visit to Avebury Manor (after looking at the…read morestones and adjacent St James's church). Even though it was a wet day (or maybe because of it) it was very busy. It's a standard NT cafe, with the emphasis on cakes, scones, etc. (They apparently also do proper meals but these were not available when we visited as it was mid-afternoon). We had a scone (with clotted cram and jam) and a slice of orange and poppy seed cake, with a pot of tea each. I tried the cake as it was an unusual flavour, and it was delicious. My partner's scone was nice but the (pre-packed) clotted cream was crumbly rather than smooth. (In hindsight we should have asked for another portion). We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The interior is a little rustic (wooden furniture, stone floors): fine if you are walking and having an outdoorsy sort of day. There is also seating upstairs which has views over part of Avebury Stone Circle.

    This tasty restaurant place in a huge barn is part of the Avebury English Heritage (EH) Stone…read moreCircles (separately reviewed). The National Trust manage the site for EH. As you would expect they are focussed on fair trade, organic food, coffees, teas and seasonal dishes so five green stars. We only got there late on a Sunday afternoon just about an hour before closing so there wasn't much left to eat. They had afternoon teas (scones/clotted cream/jam) but we'd consumed a lot if this English treat in recent weeks so we settled on great cappuccinos, sparking water and tubs of delicious ice cream from a local organic farm - I had ginger and my wife had mint choc chip and they were wonderful tasting. The scones did look lovely though. It was a really hot afternoon so we sat outdoors at one of their large shaded tables and enjoyed our fare. Again really worth supporting as there nowt coming from a crooked Westminster government who know the price of everything but the value of nothing abd know how to claim eye watering sums in 'expenses'. It these dishonest crooks could flog this place circa cut to a private operator based in the Cayman's it would be gone in a heart beat, as so much already has.
