About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Guests and locals alike can enjoy classic British and European cuisine at Restaurant 66a in Oxford’s Cotswold Lodge Hotel. The 4-star hotel is located within walking distance of Oxford’s historic city centre, making it the perfect stop-off after a day of sight-seeing there or in the nearby Cotswolds. The elegant, modern dining room at Restaurant 66a is gracefully fitted into the lovely Georgian building, retaining the authentic fireplace, high ceilings and bay windows, and adding smart wood and brass fittings and luxe upholstery. In summer, the garden courtyard is the most romantic spot in town. Menus here change regularly - the chef employs the freshest seasonal ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible - although there’s always a range of classic European flavour combinations on offer. Choose from cream of pumpkin soup with truffle oil or roast lamb with dauphinoise potato, red cabbage and rosemary jus. Fancy a great fish and chips or steak? We do that too!

    Broadly I found the food I sampled - two courses (fish starter and meat main) - to be in alignment with the thrust of previous reviews, and to be in very good order. Portions were generous, including the bread given as an adjunct to one's core order. The chosen accompanying wines also went down very well, from a decent list (they only had 1 dessert offering but this was at least a moreish Monbazillac, which subbed for a real dessert pretty well). The service was superb, although perhaps I should qualify this with an expectation that it really should've been, given my visit was on a Monday evening in late February and for a good 3/4 of my time in the restaurant, there were literally no other customers besides me! I do hope this reflected the time of year etc more than the perceived or experienced qualities of the establishment. As far as I could tell, I am confident that was likely the case. Once a few additional punters did arrive - quite late on, possibly post-University commitments in most cases - the atmosphere livened up and it felt a little less isolated! I felt some were likely regulars with their own tables. The ambience as directed by the design and decor though was excellent even when I was alone in the place - I even sent a pic of it to a friend with the caption "this is how I'd like my front room done"! It is very trad, classic, in keeping with the delightful building, with no unpleasant minimalism or stark modern intrusions - that is how I like things anyway - and felt very comfortable.

    The restaurant itself (we chose to eat in the bar area for our eveningmeal), Seating was extremely comfortable, the service was second to none, the food was a 10/10. We had a variety of dishes (4 of us). Scallops were the best we've had, all dishes were of exceptional quality. The size if the meals were absolutely spot on. Price wise great value. And a massive thanks for looking after us and our mum on her 80th birthday 🎂. We look forward to seeing you again. Steve.

    First of all, this review request arrived long before we even attended the restaurant for our booked meal. I take great acceptation to this gross discourtesy and very nearly did not answer. We were the only couple in the large restaurant dinning for the duration of our lunch. Very strange considering the car park was very full of parked cars. The food was average quality for a Sunday lunch . My rare cooked roast beef was cut a little too thick, otherwise was OK. However, we were both served kale as the only green vegetable. The kale was undercooked and difficult to cut, let alone to chew. My guest left her Kale uneaten. More appropriate greens would have been green beans or spring cabbage. My selection of cheeses was good with sliced celery, plumb and apple, but the sheer number of biscuits provided was ridiculous, which I left in a pile! My guest remarked her apple and pear tart was delicious. The toilet facilities were quite adequate but the decor was rather tired.

    Lovely Mother's day afternoon tea. Really good value, nice loose leaf tea, and some beautifully presented cakes. Nice service, they even had flowers for the mothers, and we had a great time.
