Food
Transformed from two Georgian
buildings, Quod Restaurant & Bar occupies a former banking hall on the
ground floor of the Old Bank Hotel. The oval zinc topped bar forms the
centre piece of the restaurant, which has become a firm favourite for
business visitors, students and tourists alike.
Open from 12 noon until 11pm, the
perennially vibrant atmosphere combined with a modern British menu
gives the restaurant a unique feel, completed by the views out of
original wooden arched windows onto the University Church , All Souls
College and the Radcliffe Camera. Quod offers daily specials and an
Express Lunch between 12pm and 3pm as well as a wide selection of
options for children. The south-facing terrace is ideal for lunch,
dinner or a relaxing afternoon with friends. Quod also has private
dining facilities, seating up to 22 people in the Red Room.
The restaurant is also the venue for
hotel guests to take their breakfast. Here you can relax in the
laid-back atmosphere with the morning papers, and your choice of
continental buffet or full English breakfast.
