by the sea, South West

Working in the Oxford area this week and booked into the holiday inn. Looking for recommendations of where to eat and drink in this Covid lockdown world, especially if the weather is crap.

Also looking for running routes, I assume the hotel is to far out of town for a run round the nicest parts of town?

The Royal Oak is a great pub, loads of outside space.

between OX26 & BH23

The holiday inn is at pear tree just off the A34 if you head towards town till you get to a big roundabout then take a right towards wolvercote. Not too far down there you will find two pubs and get down to the river

If you go straight on at that big roundabout you will get to run past some nice big houses, probably 3-4 miles to city centre

Within short driving distance we’d recommend The Fishes in Hinksey.

Great food from a riverside pub, nice outdoor space too.

Thanks all. Will put the suggestions to the team (possibly won’t share where I got the info - at least not till a few drinks in)

Went to Jacobs Inn in the end, nice little place with a big marquee. Could have done with some outdoor heaters tho x

If you return to the same hotel location in the future the trout inn is a nice location on a warm summers evening

Warm evenings in short supply this week, froze me bits off last night.

Thanks for the recommendation though
