Sunday roasts are serious business. Crispy potatoes, rich gravy, good meat, and the kind of plates you want to linger over. We are often asked where to go for a really good roast in Oxfordshire, so here is our current round-up of places we love, places worth a special mention, and a few firmly on our hit list for 2026.

Central Oxford

• The Prince of Wales, Iffley

Perfect for a special occasion

• Treadwell at The Store, central Oxford. Recommended by Nicola, “If you are looking for a Sunday roast sharer, The Store is the place to go.”
