A refined dining room in a Victorian gem
Restaurant 66A occupies a graceful space within the Cotswold Lodge Hotel, a Victorian mansion in Oxford’s Park Town. The dining room blends contemporary elegance with period charm: high ceilings, large bay windows, and subtle architectural details create an atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate. Designed for both business lunches and romantic dinners, the restaurant’s polished service and 1 AA Rosette status reflect its commitment to quality. Whether you’re in Oxford for a cultural visit or a special occasion, the setting offers a refined backdrop for a memorable meal.Modern British and Continental flavours
The menu at Restaurant 66A features a modern take on classic British and Continental dishes, with an emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced produce. The kitchen changes its offerings regularly, drawing on the freshest ingredients, some of which come directly from the owners’ farm in the British countryside. Expect well-executed mains such as roasted guinea fowl breast, alongside classic British options like fish and chips or steak, and a proper Sunday roast on weekends. The dessert selection often includes comforting British favourites, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated to complement the food, though some guests note it leans toward the pricier end.More than just dinner
Beyond dinner, Restaurant 66A is also a destination for lunch, afternoon tea, and celebratory gatherings. The Drawing Room offers a traditional English afternoon tea experience with freshly brewed tea, homemade scones, clotted cream, and preserves, with the option to add prosecco or champagne for a touch of indulgence. The bar and terraces provide a more casual setting for drinks and lighter meals, especially in summer when guests spill out onto the terraces. The restaurant welcomes both hotel residents and non-residents, making it a versatile choice for a range of occasions, from a relaxed lunch to a formal dinner or a Sunday family roast.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
