Overall the Oxford Blue is very good. Since my last review they have updated their menu (though not on their website at the time of writing) and my partner and I had a very nice lunch there over the weekend. I had the smoked haddock with spinach, which I thought was fairly pricy at £13ish but I was then pleasantly... More

My husband and I went last night and found heavenly food, served by friendly staff in quirky surroundings. We waited a while for the starter but they apologised and gave us a free glass of wine. When the starter, calamari, came it was searing hot, crisp and delicately flavoured, they obviously used very fresh seafood. My smoked haddock main course... More

Tucked on the outskirts of central Oxford, Oxford Blue looks quite ordinary. It's shabby chic interior, wide menu and comfortable interior complimented the excellent food. Large portions, interesting flavours and well cooked and beautifully presented food. The lamb shank had the melt in the mouth look. Burgers with chunky fries, pan fried chicken with rocket Parmesan with sweet pepper sauce... More

We had a wonderful meal on a Monday night. The food was truly outstanding in a very relaxed atmosphere. With the chabby chic interior you dont expect the high quality food this pub dishes out, absolutely fantastic. We would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Have had lunch at The Oxford Blue twice now and am absolutely amazed that this place is not busier. Each time it was nearly empty which is such a shame as the food is really, really tasty. Perhaps because it's tucked away a bit off Cowley Road that people don't find it? Either way, DO visit. Seriously, do: nice service... More

I’ve eaten here a couple of times now and the experience on both occasions was nothing short of fantastic. The refit has been stylishly done with some quirky decorative touches. The beer is well kept and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. But it’s the food that really makes this place stand out from the crowd – a thoughtful menu... More

we went on a Sunday evening using the Jack FM vouchers, but the food was terrible! The Lamb shank was very tough and the roast pork was barely edible, and we paid £70 for the 'pleasure'... definitely a place to avoid!

The only reason we went to this pub was to check out the East Oxford area and as I had purchased an "In Oxford" voucher ahead of the visit. Had I not had the voucher - I would have walked out, when I saw the chef's black finger nails before ordering our food. Disgusting! Infection control nil points. We were... More

We went here on recommendation, but the management has changed and it is now a more high end gastro pub. Gave it a try anyway. We had the burger, and a meat platter. The platter was lovely, if a little on the pricey side (£14ish). The burger was a bit dry, and nothing particularly special. Charging extra for cheese /... More
