Review: Cosmo Buffet

6th August 2025 by Jemma Smith 1 Comment AD - Invite, BlogALL YOU CAN EAT/ buffet/ CENTRAL OXFORD/ family friendly/ Oxford/ restaurant/ REVIEW

We visited this Oxford buffet on a Thursday evening, arriving just before opening at 4:30pm - and were surprised to find a queue already forming outside. It wasn’t long before we understood why. The food had just been laid out, fresh and visually appealing, with staff carefully arranging everything before the rush. While the dishes were regularly replenished throughout the … [Read more...]

Review: The Shake and Sweet Shop

7th July 2025 by Jemma Smith Leave a Comment Best For, BlogCHILD FRIENDLY/ ICE CREAM/ INDEPENDENTS/ SWEETS/ WITNEY

There’s a small but mighty spot in Market Square in Witney that’s packed to the rafters with joy. The Shake & Sweet Shop - known to some residents as the little blue shop - is exactly what it sounds like: a haven for milkshake lovers, ice cream fans, those with a sweet tooth, and anyone in need of a little pick-me-up. The variety on offer is huge. There’s Mr Whippy’s, … [Read more...]

Having visited during the “Six wonders of the world” menu a few months back, I was curious to see how this latest theme would deliver, and while the evening had a few … [Read more...]

Review: Permit Room Kid’s Menu

The Permit Room in Oxford is the more relaxed sibling of Dishoom - the kind of place you’d associate with cocktails and conversation, not highchairs and finger food. But step inside, and it is a welcoming space with charm, warmth, and surprisingly great options for little diners. If you’ve visited any Dishoom, you’ll know the look: mid-century furniture, Bombay-inspired art … [Read more...]

Jemma’s Family Friendly Finds: Kingsley Cafe

28th May 2025 by Jemma Smith Leave a Comment Best For, BlogCAFE/ CHILD FRIENDLY/ EYNSHAM/ family friendly/ INDEPENDENTS/ OXFORDSHIRE/ REVIEW

A café that looks out onto the A40 and regularly hosts biker meets might not sound like the most child-friendly destination. But Kingsley Café in Eynsham offers a golden bullet that most cafés don’t: it’s open late, and when you’ve got a teething baby or a toddler in full meltdown mode, that’s absolute gold. We visited on Easter Sunday, and it was busy, buzzing and had loads … [Read more...]
