- Episode 10 - PompetteToday I’ve got a new host joining me, Alex, and we visited Pompette. Based in Summertown, this is the only double rosetted restaurant in Oxford. We sat down with owner Laura to talk about all things Alsace, food, wine, Brexit, energy costs, and more. The atmosphere here is what makes it so special. When we arrived, Laura spent 15 minutes at least talking to some regulars and this really is that kind of place. Great quality but never pretentious. Casual but smart and everything made in-house to the highest standard by Pascal. Grab a glass of wine and listen in to a fascinating 25-minute dive into the world of French food.

28 min - Episode 9 - Gusto
Over the past couple of weeks I have been lucky enough to visit the new Italian restaurant on the High Street here in Oxford, Gusto. Having got a chance to try a great variety of the dishes that they offer I then sat down with head chef Mukrram and sales manager Undine. This really is a fascinating chat - the site, in the old Mitre pub, is so unique and brings plenty of challenges as well as opportunities. More than that, just listen out for the passion this chef has for service and food - it’s really what makes the restaurant. So, sit back, grab cannoli, and enjoy!
Thanks so much for listening and thanks to the whole team for having us. That sweet dough petal dessert is genuinely to die for and I can guarantee I’ll be back for it!

25 min - Episode 8 - ChickpeaToday we were lucky enough to visit the brand new Chickpea restaurant off the High Street. Founded by Will, the brains behind Alpha bar and Vaults and Gardens, it offers Middle Eastern flavours at an amazing price point. Will’s commitment to sustainability and the care for his food is more than clear and it tastes amazing too. I have no doubt that it is quickly going to become a student go-to for quick, reliable, nourishing, tasty, good-value lunches and dinners. Enjoy!

21 min - Episode 7 - Maya'sHello and welcome back to Oxford Eats. Today we visited Maya's downstairs in the Westgate centre. Here, Moor offers unprecedented and unrivalled knowledge of all of his products. There is genuinely nowhere else that you can get this level of personal experience and education in Oxford. Each trip is like an education. A brief warning, we really get into the weeds in this one! Its one for coffee lovers for sure but hopefully will also be able to give others a view into just how much there is to learn and love about all things, coffee, hot chocolate, and cake!

19 min - New Year Special - Amthuc VietToday as a special treat I am bringing you a special episode from the Kent countryside village of Wadhurst! Amthuc Viet is a Vietnamese takeaway bringing a completely unique cuisine to this area of the country. In a first for us, they are a takeaway-only business and certainly represented a journey of culinary discovery for me. What you’re about to hear is the conversation I had with the brilliant couple who own and operate Amthuc Viet after I was lucky enough to visit them in their home and try their dishes over dinner just before Christmas. Enjoy!
