QUOD BRASSERIE & BAR

On Oxford’s famous High, Quod Brasserie with its terrace and bar forms the hub of The Old Bank Hotel. Formerly a banking hall, it was transformed by Jeremy Mogford to become Oxford’s largest and most successful restaurant. Stylish, contemporary design describes the space which houses an amazing collection of young British Art, Sandra Blow, Craigie Aitchison and Gary Hume cover the walls.  There is a huge outdoor terrace where diners can enjoy morning coffee, a simple lunch, great cocktails and a lobster from the outdoor barbeque in fine weather with Jazz every Sunday evening. Parking is not a problem - diners have free use of the Old Bank Hotel car park, meaning Quod Brasserie offers the rare luxury of a restaurant with free parking in Oxford.

Open all day for breakfast, our famously good value two course set lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, this stylish, busy, bustling brasserie serves simply designed, unpretentious, robust food. Think wonderful pizza, pasta, free-range chicken, fish and shellfish from Jersey, local lamb and beef from the owners Oxfordshire farm, great bar snacks and a reliable bottle of wine all very reasonably priced.  Quod is the place to meet, where students, artists, writers and tourists go to feed, large and comfortable with good food and a café culture that appeals to everyone. Sunday lunch has become something of an institution at Quod with families enjoying a traditional roast lunch each week amidst the hustle and bustle of barmen and waiters.

Service is relaxed yet informed, waiters reel off daily specials from the blackboard with ease, Roast ‘Rofford Farm’ leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, beef bourguignon with creamed potatoes or crème brulée might appear at lunch and fillet steak with béarnaise or bass with tomato and saffron at dinner, the twice changing daily specials creating interest from seasoned regulars. Whether it’s a croque monsieur and a glass of wine or côte de boeuf, Quod always delivers and has become the best brasserie in Oxford.
