Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. The Five Alls at Filkins not far from Oxford http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18605 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18605 The Freud Bar http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13616
It's not too done up, has a lovely long zinc bar, and serves strong cocktails and proper pizzas.

Plus there is seating out the front to people watch.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13616 The Gardener's Arms http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12949 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12949 The Trout http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9666
The Trout serves great food (minted lamb shanks are my recommendation), though it gets very full at the beginning and end of Oxford terms. Most of all it's the atmosphere that people come for - cosy inside in Autumn and Winter, and a large outdoor terrace in Spring and Summer.

It has a history which encompasses Henry II, Alice in Wonderland and Colin Dexter of Inspector Morse fame! It can be reached by car (a large free car park indicates how popular it can get), but far better to walk all the way up Port Meadow to the very top, by which point you will deserve your lunch thoroughly.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9666 Moya http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9654 St Clements is at the far end of the High Street, but Moya is worth the expedition.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9654 Maison Blanc http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9575 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9575 G&Ds Ice Cream Cafe http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9561 to be made. If 30 signatures are collected the management will consider making it.
The cafe also serves great pizza bagels for those who need a savoury snack. It is open until midnight and, although there are plenty of students in term-time, it's worth making a visit.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9561 Saffron http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4283 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4283 Oxford Covered Market http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1563 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1563 The Bear http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1063 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1063 The Turf Tavern http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1056 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1056
