Champagne & strawberries before an Oxford Commemoration Ball.

For those who both read this blog and know Oxford, you will have noticed this spring brought two things: the glories of Pimms and silence here on Oxford’s Omnivore. My apologies for that; I had a dissertation to write and jobs to court.

Now, like many students here who have taken their final exams, we’re in the mild mannered halcyon days. The days pass to the soundtrack of Commemoration Balls, of plays and of the Joycean “crick, crack” of cricket in the park.

As life has improved, so has my appetite. Beyond the glories of Pimms and backyard BBQs there is much to discuss. I plan on writing regularly now, so check back.

On the docket: Oxford’s best gastropubs, food-focused trips outside Oxford, good new beers, cocktails and, yes, more restaurant reviews.

Let us know here at OO where you’re eating and what you’re drinking. We’d love to know and would be happy to share.
