No.1 Ship Street is Oxford’s award winning, independent, ‘Modern British Brasserie’ Voted Oxfordshire’s BEST RESTAURANT 2020 – 2023, it is a Modern British Brasserie set over two floors. A La Carte Menu and daily specials board with oysters, lobster and market fish of the day.
Went in for the lunch special but ended up ordering from the main menu. Everything was exceptional and the service was amazing. I had the langoustine bisque, some oysters and the roast chicken. I think that chicken dish might be the best roast chicken I've ever had, no exaggeration. Beautifully prepared and even more beautifully presented. I had 3 wonderful cocktails, including the popcorn old fashioned for "dessert". I haven't been able to stop thinking about that drink since. I may have to make a return visit just for that! It was a lovely lunch.
Cute place for dinner. We ordered the Sirloin steak, corn fed chicken, superfood salad, and the fish special. Food was good but the service made some basic errors. Not all our mains were presented at the same time - one of us had to wait an extra 5 minutes which made things a bit awkward - not the end of the world given world hunger, but a basic miss on the server's part. Secondly the server didn't ask if we needed another drink or something once the appetizers were served, and our half bottle wine had run out: a check in would have helped. Again, a basic miss. I would have given 5 stars otherwise. Also, the fish was a bit too salty for me. I'd recommend this place for a romantic dinner or visiting as couples / double date. Its quite a cosy English atmosphere.
