Really enjoyed the food but could've done with a bit more lighting. It is hard to eat coq au vin when you can't really see what is meat and what is bone.

We had a fantastic meal there last night. The food was excellent, the service was brisk and the waitress made it a very enjoyable evening. The food isn't cheap but you get what you pay for. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys good food in a lovely environment.

Fantastic evening cosy despite the fact that we didn't realise we had to pre-book the Festive Meal so we couldn't have it last night as expected. Nevertheless the other dishes (Oysters, Scallops, Monkfish, Venison hotpot and the delicious apple almond tart unfortunately without vanilla ice-cream) were totally delicious in their own right.

The waiter was excellent - without any fuss, he understood what I needed and liased with the chef to produce a delicious meal that I could eat Not somewhere to go if you are in a rush but worth the wait for freshly cooked yummyness.

Everything was great. The setting, service, food and drinks were absolutely delicious. We had the Cote de Boeuf for two. It was like cutting into butter. The chips were some of the best I’ve ever had and the English sparkling was very nice. Just perfect evening.

I like menus of the day to be short and sweet, and this was; only two choices of starter and main is fine. Both were very good and the side salad was excellent. Friendly and efficient staff. Terrific value for money for a meal of this quality.

Innovative and Delicious! The venison and game casserole was rich in flavour, blended well and was served in an original way. The service was attentive and informed; top class! All in all, we'll be back, especially as No 1 Ship Street sits in the shadows of Oxford's best college!

We booked a table for dinner for our daughter’s 18th birthday. I had great expectations reading some of the previous reviews, however we were totally underwhelmed with the experience! The food was blunt and served slightly warm. The wait for the starters was rather long too. My husband complained about his meal which was very bitter tasting and the potatoes were undercooked and the waitress kindly arranged for it to be taken off the bill. However, sorry to say the overall experience was no more than average.
