This is a bit of hidden gem. The food is incredible - the interior not so. Nonetheless Dosa Park is our favourite Indian restaurant/takeaway. It's southern Indian food, so different to the norm.

Drinks & Nightlife
Nice pub which specialises on cocktails and craft beers. As the name "The Adventurer" suggests, the interior and decorations are themed and live up to the name.

Although this pub is very touristy it is well worth a visit. Very old and full of character. Don't miss the entrance! It's a very narrow street. You couldn't fit two people next to each other

A bar in Jericho (popular area of Oxford). I'd recommend seeing Freuds because of the impressive building. However, I wouldn't recommend staying there because acoustics are bad and it's expensive.

This pub has been the favourite of many historic authors (including Thomas Hardy). I particularly like it because its prices are honest. Any profits made go towards funding new PhD students.
