Oxford city has lost its only Michelin star, however.
Two One Five, previously known as Oxford Kitchen, in Banbury Road, Summertown had held a star for two years, though was awarded a coveted Michelin Plate for good cooking. Praising Two One Five, which is run by chef Paul Welburn, the guide says: The long, narrow room has a laid-back vibe but you’ll feel passion and intensity coming from the kitchen. Menus change with the seasons and reassuring combinations deliver on sophistication and execution. Mr Welburn thanked the Michelin Guide for including his highly-acclaimed restaurant, saying: Great to be included in the Michelin Guide. After the change around, name rebrand and the tough time the industry is going through, to open Two One Five and get the Michelin Plate recommendation sets us up for when we reopen again and continue the rebuild.

In a memorable scene in Jude The Obscure, the title character of Thomas Hardy s novel has his first sight of the dreaming spires of Christminster (Oxford) from a spot close to where I am parked. Hardy s grandmother lived in the nearby village of Fawley, and the stonemason who dreams of being a scholar is given the surname Fawley in the book.
Jude couldn t wait to leave his village and head to his nearest university town, but I go in the opposite direction as often as I can.
