Amazing food and people!

Fully vegan menu; lots of different starters, and highly recommend the cookie dough pan for pudding, mains are various pizza options during the week and then an epic vegan roast on Sundays!! The staff are very friendly and helpful too, so much so that this is the location we choose to hold our monthly Oxford vegan socials 💚🌱

Vegan food at its best. An absolute Gem

A cosy, friendly, charming pub with a fantastic menu that just happens to be vegan. You can taste the creativity and passion that has gone into creating dishes which are delicious in their own right without pretending to be meat.
The team are also really lovely, and the whole vibe is just so chill and hygge.
Can't wait to come back!

Best vegan dining in Oxford

From the minds that brought us Green Routes Cafe, the Oxford Blue food is absolutely delicious in its own right - bringing in vegans and non-vegans. We were particularly impressed with the Sunday Roast, which my meat eating Mum said was the best roast she's ever had, enjoying the flavour and effort that went into making all components delicious.

Will absolutely be returning!

Pros: Varied small plates, Pizzas with cashew cheese, Friendly staff and great ambiance

Cons: Nothing! No cons

Absolutely amazing!

Delicious small plates and pizzas, lovely service and atmosphere, every dish was incredibly balanced and flavourful and the whole meal felt like a treat. Padrones were perfectly salted (each and every one of them), canelinni beans and caramelized leek dip was super tasty and the pizza (Forage) was a very scrumptious blend of ingredients that went so well together. A real feast!

Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere

Great Beer, Great Food

I hadn't heard much about the Oxford Blue despite being in and around Oxford for a looooong time.
They have a great selection of vegan beers and the food is delicious... Especially recommend the arancini which captures the pancetta flavour masterfully 👌
The atmosphere is great the staff are friendly and it was playing bossa nova the whole time, which I will never complain about.

Pros: Food, Beers, Atmosphere

Cons: Nil

Wonderful!

Wow, amazing food and a great atmosphere. We opted for small plates to share. Portions were huge, the food utterly delicious. Their pizzas looked fab, too, and I wish I had been able to try the creme brûlée dessert (but was way too full by that stage)

Pros: Delicious food , Great atmosphere

Delicious food. Warmest of welcomes.

Charles and the team were vibrant and obviously passionate about the service, quality of food and overall experience they provide. The food was outstanding. If you didn't walk in with a smile you'd definitely walk out with one. Highly recommend.

Pros: Service , Food

Best Vegan Restaurant in Oxford

This is the best vegan restaurant I've been so far. The meals are incredibly delicious, lots of flavours and very well combined. Plenty of different options to choose.
Absolutely everything we tried was even better than the previous one. I'm looking to going again and try more things!
As a dessert we had the
The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff is incredibly helpful and nice. We went without reservation (we didn't know it was so busy) and the staff look for a table for us very kindly.
We had the pie of the day and a quiche that was really delicious and the dessert just took our breath away: cookie dough (hot) with vanilla ice cream (awesome).

Pros: Incredibly delicious , Plenty of options, Nice place

Best vegan roast ever!

I absolutely love this place! Everyone is so friendly and the service is amazing. You can go for a more classic roast with the Wellington or try something new with the Farinata. Really good selection of starters and puddings as well.

Best vegan place in Oxford

Absolutely incredible vegan food and very friendly and knowledgeable service. Went for Sunday roast and had the arancini and the wellington, we were very impressed with the quality! Will definitely be going back again and again, especially to try their other offerings.

Delicious vegan pizza and beer

The pizza here is as good as it gets. Best dough I’ve ever had. The ‘cheese’ is a fermented bean thing which does sound gross but is actually delicious and a lot like mozzarella
Great staff and beers too

Pros: All vegan, Pass the pigs, Delicious

Cons: Not great for parking

Pizza of perfection

A pub serving small plates and pizza with a good selection of beers. Pizza was delightful, arancini was a taste and aesthetic sensation and the staff were more than helpful.

Early Saturday Supper

An atmospheric pub with very friendly staff, eager to be of service. The plantcetta arancin was delicious, and whilst the pizzas were good (especially the base), they would have benefitted from some garlic or chilli oil, which we suggested to the staff. Looking forward to a more extensive menu in the future.

Best service in the city!!

Although it was bar service at the Oxford Blue the stuff couldn’t have been more welcoming, they were easy to talk to and made us feel like we coming home for a Sunday Dinner with old friends!

Pros: Service was perfect , The food was so flavourful , The service was well paced

Bloody Marvellous

Only just re-opened as a vegan restaurant, and whilst they are finding their feet you wouldn’t know it, a few of the beers had run out but there was a good one on. We ordered the house pie for two and whilst initially it didn’t seam like much, the rest of the accompaniments made it a proper feast. The veg is perfection and the pie delightful. The staff are wonderful friendly and very helpful. Maybe if they had opened earlier I wouldn’t be moving to Spain.
