Verified Reviews of Private Dining Rooms in Oxford

Dr C.
Booked The Blue Room at St Aldates Tavern
5.0
The room was as described and was perfectly suitable for our needs. As a party of less than 30 we paid for a bar person, and he did brilliantly for us. The quality and substance of the food was excellent. It was delivered swiftly and very efficiently by the bar man and one other - and it was surprising how quickly they did this. Our guests complimented the food. We had purchased fizz for the group, and this with the room set up was done well. The room was clean pleasant and the staff appeared to try to do everything to make my birthday party go well. We really had an excellent time.
