"Amazing Food & Great Vibes!
Loved everything about Oxley’s Bar & Kitchen.
The Fish of the Day was fresh and flavourful, and the Fish & Chips were perfectly crispy, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting."

"The waitresses and Bar staff were lovely.I had the Mussell's with Lemongrass curry and coconut.OMG the sauce was DELICIOUS.Mussells a bit small. The Alan Scott Pinot Gris on tap which was a bit of a shock but VERY NICE. The Decor is Out of this world Would definitely recommend"
