Gents I plan to go to Oxford Sunday to revisit the ashmolean, last time I went we took a trip to atomic burger for lunch however with the wet weather forecast I'm thinking something more city centre based?

So any suggestions close to the museum for lunch? Probably looking around £30pp

I've been here a few times (although not in the last couple of years) and it is excellent value for money:

If you like Chinese- look no further than Sojo on hythe bridge st (road might be closed due to roadworks) but it's minutes from the town centre.
It doesn't look much from outside but boy is the food tasty.

Eat off the specials menu choices - cant go wrong. Beef and aubergine, Red spiced prawns, salt and pepper squid, and if there is a large group of you, go for the Shanghai braised Ham hock. Delicious.

Great reviews, and no wonder. Proper Chinese food, not westernised stuff. Excellent.

Sounds like a winner, and close enough to stay reasonably dry under an umbrella.

Thank you

And thanks for the other suggestion may give that a go another time.

Definitely worth a go next time - cast iron pot chilli, pork belly and preserved cabbage.

Zheng on Walton St opened semi recently, apparently borrowing a number of the staff and recipes!

Chaing Mai for Thai is the best I've had.

Fishers for awesome seafood and a great atmosphere.
