"But it's a very tasty leek and potato, the real artisan bread (50p) lives up to the billing, and, I suppose, local, organic ingredients – vegetables from nearby Worton Organic Garden – don't come cheap. Elsewhere on the enticing menu, notable for its excellent veggie options, you'll find dishes such as spiced chickpea tagine with roasted butternut squash, green olives and rosemary; puy lentil and goat's cheese gratin, with marinaded aubergine and roasted red peppers; or organic beef lasagne (mains served with salad, brown rice, potatoes etc.) The location also plays a big part in the Vaults' popularity. It's housed in a 14th-century hall, the "congregation house", built as Oxford University's original administrative centre, within the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, while the gardens – actually the graveyard – look out on to the famous circular Radcliffe Camera library and several university colleges."

"The Vaults has always been one of my favourite cafes in Oxford. Tucked away in the vaults of St Mary’s Church on Radcliffe Square, this award-winning cafe ticks all the boxes – it’s cosy, friendly, serves a mean pot of tea and the food is absolutely delicious. The Vaults was serving ethically sourced meals and drinks before it became the norm."
"The Ashmolean is Oxford’s flagship museum and one of the top Oxford sights. Widely recognised as the first modern museum in the world, the Ashmolean has been the university’s historical and archaeological collections since 1683. Though it’s no longer in its original building (it’s grown way too big for them), The Ashmolean remains a fascinating walk through the history of different cultures from around the world."
"Dine on the terrace in the summer and enjoy terrific views of the spires of Oxford from the Rooftop Restaurant at the Ashmolean. Feast on seasonal modern European dishes with British flavours or take afternoon tea with a classic selection of finger sandwiches, mini cake bites, and freshly baked scones. Enjoy a Sunday roast or free jazz most Thursday evenings."
"The Ashmolean Rooftop Restaurant is located on the top floor of the Ashmolean Museum so during the day when the Museum is open, access to the restaurant is via the Museum's main..."
"The National Spinal Injuries Unit at Stoke Mandeville was set up in 1944, at the end of World War II, to aid with the rehabilitation of war veterans. In 1948, Dr Ludwig Guttmann organised the first sporting event for disabled athletes, planting a seed which aided in the eventual establishment of the Paralympics. Stoke Mandeville Stadium is today a thriving sports centre and fantastic venue to go and see competitive sports."
"Although strictly speaking this isn’t a dedicated vegetarian restaurant, Art Café has an impressive vegetarian and vegan menu that’s well worth checking out. Start the day with one of their veggie breakfast or vegan brunches, or try something from their extensive lunch and dinner menu, which offers everything from delicious salads and paninis to veggie chilli and vegan pasta – all at really reasonable prices. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTHe7OoA2SH/?"
"Refuel on vegan cake during your site seeing around Oxford at the Art Café. Art Café is very centrally located on Bonn Square, just a stone’s throw from Oxford castle. Pop inside this bustling café and try one (or two or three!) of their vegan cakes."
"All flickering tea lights and calm order, this dark, wood-panelled Chinese restaurant is a soothing sanctuary from the outside world. Sojo prides itself on the authenticity of its Szechuan, Cantonese and Shanghai dishes which, on its sub-£10 afternoon menu (noon-5pm), include various rice or noodle bowls and dim sum. Even if you swerve such exotica as black bean tripe, chicken claws or the numbingly hot Szechuan shredded pork (“mind blowing spicy,” warns the menu), be prepared for food that makes little concession to prissy Western palates."
"Oxford Playhouse sits opposite the Ashmolean Museum and plays host to some excellent acting talent. You’ll be able to see top-notch drama, akin to that found in London, but at reduced Oxford prices. There’s a huge array of performances here from drama to musicals to comedy to dance – you name it!"
"If you intend to see a show or performance while in town, you should check the listings at the individual theaters (such as the Oxford Playhouse and the Old Fire Station) and buy your tickets in advance. Explore Oxford’s Gardens & Parks"
