The Oxford is Raleigh’s first gastropub. The term gastropub is British for public house, or “pub,” which specializes in food that is a step above basic “pub grub.” Gastropubs have a more relaxed atmosphere and focus on offering a strong, high-quality food environment and The Oxford is no different. The cuisine has an adventurous twist on familiar foods, all made from scratch with honest ingredients. The Oxford bridges the gap between traditional pubs and upscale restaurants.
