Nestled within the iconic Randolph Hotel on Beaumont Street, The Alice restaurant offers a vibrant all-day British brasserie experience directly opposite the Ashmolean Museum. Its playful Alice in Wonderland-inspired decor, a riotous and fun mix of colourful banquettes, a stunning mosaic floor, and striking chandeliers, creates a unique atmosphere that sets it apart in Oxford. Whether you're seeking a pre-theatre meal, a relaxed lunch, or simply a drink at the marble-topped bar, The Alice provides a surprisingly accessible five-star experience in a prime city centre location, moments from colleges, theatres, and shops. The restaurant even features a super cool Snug Room for pre- or post-dinner cocktails, adding another layer of quirky charm to your visit.
Executive Chef Chris Godfrey leads the kitchen, crafting seasonal British dishes with a contemporary twist, ensuring a menu that is both comforting and inventive. From breakfast through to dinner, and everything in between, you can expect dishes like fish and chips, burgers, and more refined options like heirloom tomato and burrata salad or autumn vegetable gnocchi. Desserts are notably impressive, showcasing the kitchen's high-end capabilities. The Alice is also renowned for its "Alice in Wonderland" themed afternoon tea, a magical experience featuring whimsical treats, freshly baked scones, and a selection of fine teas, often accompanied by a live pianist. With set menus, Sunday roasts, and even steak and wine nights, there’s always a tempting reason to step into this enchanting Oxford dining spot.

Food overall was really good, considering the price / venue I’d say it’s a touch below perfect but the chips are absolutely amazing!
