The Oxford Bathurst, Bathurst NSW

Nice establishment but found the food we ordered was overpriced and underwhelming. Pizzas are extremely small, chicken wings as others have said still have feathers and the Mac and cheese loaded fries were basically shoestring fries with dry macaroni and no cheese.

The chicken wings didn't taste as great as before. Chicken was dry and lots of feather 🪶 made it worst, asked it this was normal to the staff and said yes.. be prepared for it.

Lunch was great. Unfortunately, one bar staff was a bit sloppy at pouring drinks.
I ordered a Limoncello strawberry spritz and a tall gin and tonic (pictured).

While pouring my G&T, half of my gin shot spilled on the bar and it missed my glass.

"Half of that shot is on the bar!"

Bar staff "That's not gin," he replied.

So I dipped my finger on the bar where my other shot was spilt and tasted it.

"Yeah, okay, mate, if that's not gin then my taste bubs must be dead!"

I accepted the drinks as I'm with family for lunch after a christening.

For $12 odd dollars for half a shot of G&T, thanks to a sloppy barman!

A last minute decision to head out for lunch and it took us to The Oxford.

It has recently been renovated and it looks great.

My only concern is that there is not enough covered area in the new renovation.

The staff were super friendly, chatty, helpful and smiling.

The food came out in what appeared to be baking/roasting pans, unusual but effective. My only thoughts were that the serves looked quite small in the pans and would have looked larger and more value for money on regular dinner plates.

As for the quality, it was nice, although true brisket was a little dry the Tasmanian Salmon and the sides were great.

We're looking forward to going back and trying more off the menu.

Well done on the renovations and staff!

The menu is old fashioned pub food, cooked & presented well. It is brought to the table reducing anxious lining up. Great atmosphere because a lot of people already know how good it is for a family catch-up. It would be great to have more fish options than salmon, but this is a personal preference.
