If you've read any of our reviews of Permit Room, you'll quickly find we're big big fans. They've been pleasing the people of Oxford (and their mouths) ever since they opened a few years ago, and they're still at it now. I recently went with a few friends to check out the new menu and yes, big shock - it didn't disappoint (I'm not sure they ever will?!). We were dining … [Read more...]
