Vegan vs meat eater: Happy Friday Kitchen review

4th June 201815th November 2020Gilly Eve

Ever since the November opening of Happy Friday Kitchen – Oxford’s first vegan restaurant located in Cowley – I’d been eager to sample their menu. As a plant-based eater, I was excited by the prospect of being able to eat anything from the menu without kicking up a fuss, and thought it would be interesting […]

The quest for curry, part 3: Saffron

29th May 201815th November 2020Gilly Eve

My hunt for the best Oxford curry house continued with a visit to Saffron in Summertown. I had cycled past it on a number of occasions and, with my culinary radar always searching for new curry opportunities, I had always noticed it tucked to the side of the more eye-catching Summertown Cycles.

Three of the best Instagram food accounts to follow

28th May 201815th November 2020Claudia Rowan

For those of you who use Instagram regularly, food is, I assume, a prominent feature in your feed. Whilst many Instagram users shamelessly upload the occasional meal snap, soon lost amongst selfies and picturesque sunsets, others are less sporadic in their food-sharing. A large number of users cultivate brands which revolve entirely around food: the […]

The supermarket meal deal: a perennial icon

2nd May 201815th November 2020Claudia Rowan

The meal deal – the popular supermarket lunch package, comprising a main, snack, and drink – is much more than a triviality. Simply packaged, ready-made, and deliciously effortless, the meal deal offers more than an easy, mindless lunch. The bargain lunch deal has become ingrained in the core being of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and even […]

11th February 201815th November 2020Marina Hackett

Just down Little Clarendon Street, set back slightly from the road in a fairly ugly concrete building, GAIL’s offers a glowing array of breads, pastries, quiches, tarts, and all manner of baked delicacies. Walking in from the rain on a cold, rainy February afternoon in the hope of getting a good lunch, we weren’t quite […]

Earthy Eats: The Oxford Kitchen

26th June 201715th November 2020Lydia Earthy

The Oxford Kitchen is tucked away in Summertown, North Oxford, and maybe a ten minute cycle ride from the city centre. Me and my second set of taste buds, Davina Forth, visited last Tuesday at lunchtime to test their wares. In terms of location, the Oxford Kitchen isn’t great: it is placed on a busy […]

Earthy Eats: St Ebbe’s Kitchen

7th June 201715th November 2020Lydia Earthy

It’s Tuesday lunchtime as I pull up on my bicycle outside Modern Art Oxford, on Pembroke Street. I’m not here to look at anything remotely artistic however; I’m here to review some food. It is actually quite difficult to locate the cafe I have come to eat at, St Ebbe’s Kitchen, as it is wholly […]
