Oxford Meets
the Bloomsbury Club

Set within the historic Old Parsonage Hotel on Banbury Road, Parsonage Grill is a restaurant with a character all of its own. Its intimate atmosphere brings together Oxford's rich history and the relaxed charm of a private members' club.

The restaurant celebrates classic British cooking with a light, modern touch. Eclectic paintings, warm interiors and thoughtfully presented dishes create a setting where every visit feels special.

Founded by Jeremy Mogford in 1989, the Parsonage story is rooted in hospitality, individuality and a love of bringing people together.
