Food and Drink
This covers only the very few places which are immediately local and the farmers' markets.
The best guide to city-wide places to eat and drink, to buy food or order a take-away is Daily Information's Food in Oxford section at www.dailyinfo.co.uk/food/index.html.
Immediately Local
Bunters - 01865 557135
4/6 Hayfield Road - end of Aristotle Lane and turn left
Newspapers - dairy produce - fruit and veg - deli - organic foods - bread - groceries - sweets - wines, spirits and cigarettes
As well as being an old-fashioned corner shop, Bunters has fresh home-made soups, baguettes and other foods with an emphasis on Greek foods.
The Anchor - 01865 510282
2a Hayfield Road - at the end of Aristotle Lane
This has transformed itself from a pub into a very good place to eat which, amongst other good things, makes its own puddings. The service is very good and the cost reasonable - even before you factor in the benefit of being able to walk there in minutes. There is a Quiz on the first Sunday in the month at 7:30pm.
Local Farmers' markets
There is a market at Wolvercote Primary School every Sunday morning from 10:00 am where you can buy meat and vegetables from the people who raised and grew them.

French Market
From time to time, a small army of French traders sets up stalls in Broad Street. If there is a pattern to this we have not detected it but there is often an advertisement in the Oxford Times and a mention on the City Council's web site at www.oxford.gov.uk
