The menu is limited but what it does it does well. Rather than walking back into Oxford on a rainy day we had an evening meal here. It is mainly Pizzas and my husband and I shared a large Pizza and Caesar salad which was all we needed. We also had desert and a drink each. The atmosphere was quiet allowing conversation with pleasant low background music. The service was good and the meal good value. Social distancing and COVID protocols were good.
