George Street Social in Oxford

I hired the whole venue for my 30th birthday party and everyone had an amazing time. Peter and all the staff were extremely helpful - nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to make it a great time. They hired an amazing musician to play which added to the atmosphere. They listened to my needs and made it personal to me. Would highly recommend for your special occasion!

Great host and nice atmosphere despite being packed for a conference week. Highly recommended. Reservations available.

Dog friendly brunch spot, pleasant service and tasty food. Great coffee too.

I've been here many times for brunch. The food is always delicious and all the staff people are really nice. The place is not as crammed as the majority of the cafes/restaurants here so it's a plus. Recommended!

Wonderful food, good service, excellent location

The food is actually really not good. We all ordered the chicken and waffle after being told that there were no pancakes (having waffles but no pancakes is an instant red flag for the freshness of the food). The waffles are from a packet and not fresh at all, the bacon also tasted very old, the chicken was grey and tasted gone off in a soggy bread crumb and the sauce was ok. None of us finished our food, hugely disappointed. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and good drinks, just let down by the terrible and massively overpriced food.

Best hot chocolate in Oxford. Lovely staff.

Lovely place , but please please ditch the metal metallic bowls you serve brunch in. I have had a metallic taste in my mouth all day. This is the 2nd time this has happened.

We enjoyed our lunch with tasty food. Great service. Still don't get why you allow one guy and his laptop to sit at a table for four for so long. He was there when we arrived with an empty coffee cup and still there when we left with the same empty coffee cup. These people buy very little, take up a lot of space and frankly put a lot of people off. Thanks for the reply, no it has not put us off and we will return but I still don't get it. Table for four, one bloke and laptop, at lunchtime and bought nothing, makes no sense.

5 Stars for everything 🥰🥰 The food, the atmosphere, the staff and a big thank you to Ben who was amazing !!!! My friends and I had the most fabulous time celebrating.

Enjoyed a fabulous meal at George Street Social yesterday before going to the theatre. We’d booked for 5.30 but arrived slightly early, this wasn’t a problem for the staff. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. We loved the relaxed atmosphere, really suited to all ages. We will definitely be returning. Thank you! Table of 4 ladies of a slightly more mature age!!

Our first visit, and I loved these sweet pancakes! Fluffy, and served with loads of nuts, chocolate spread and banana.

Visitamos como grupo para algunas bebidas y terminamos quedándonos hasta cerca! Muy bien decorado y encantadores cócteles hechos por Nashly

Came here for breakfast (stayed in oxford for a night). What a place! Amazing food, quick service. Good coffee. Staff are very friendly at this venue. Return visit definitely.

Personal muy amable, buen rollo y ambiente burbujeante. Precio razonable para el centro de Oxford! Sin duda recomendaría para cualquier momento del día

Lovely place and a lovely server called Nashly, couldn’t have been more helpful. Atmosphere was nice and enjoyed the upstairs space

Had one the best time in a while. Excellent Food… Excellent Service.. Well trained and friendly staff.

Good selection of food and hot drinks. Lots of games to play and books to read.

The indoor lighting is relatively dim, but the meal performance is ok.

Visited Oxford for the first time and tried this lovely brunch spot. I got the Breakfast Bun which was absolutely delicious, no complaints, very flavourful and extremely yummmy!!! The hot chocolate was lovely and not too sweet too and the pancakes were nice! What I loved as well is that this cafe has games and books that you can read / play while dining. Me and my boyfriend ended up playing Articulate for 45mins after we finished dining and we loved the atmosphere,very relaxed with lovely staff. I live far from Oxford but if I’m ever down again, I know where to go! Thank you :)))

Came in for a coffee, we were seated under a TV on full volume. The manager came over to take our order but could not hear us at all, because the TV was on full volume. We asked could they turn it down and we were told if we get them to turn it down "5 more people will ask to turn it up" and that a lot of people were there to watch the match etc. Nobody at any table around us was watching it. We ended up cancelling our order and leaving.

Today, two colleagues and I dined at George St Social, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. My colleague and I had the beef burger with cheddar cheese, tomato salsa, pickle, baby gem, and burger sauce, while our other colleague enjoyed the Spanish Shakshuka with chorizo. Every dish was delicious, but I especially loved the coleslaw and the perfectly crispy chips with parmesan and truffle oil. We were served by Xennan, who was incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. We also had the pleasure of meeting Peter, the restaurant manager, whose hospitality and dedication to his guests were truly outstanding. He went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable, and his passion for providing a great experience was evident. A fantastic visit all around—great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend George St Social and look forward to returning! Thank you Peter & Xennan again.

Hoy, dos colegas y yo cenamos en George street Social, y la experiencia fue nada menos que excepcional. Mi colega y yo comimos la hamburguesa de ternera con queso cheddar, salsa de tomate, pepinillo, gema para bebés y salsa para hamburguesas, mientras que nuestro otro colega disfrutó de la Shakshuka española con chorizo. Cada plato estaba delicioso, pero me encantó especialmente la ensalada de col y las patatas fritas perfectamente crujientes con aceite de parmesano y trufa. Nos atendieron por Xennan, que era increíblemente atento y amable, asegurando que teníamos todo lo necesario. También tuvimos el placer de conocer a Peter, el gerente del restaurante, cuya hospitalidad y dedicación a sus huéspedes fueron realmente encomiables. Fue más allá para hacer que nuestra visita fuera agradable, y su pasión por proporcionar una experiencia gastronómica de primer nivel era evidente. Una visita fantástica por todas partes — excelente comida, servicio cálido y un ambiente acogedor. Recomiendo encarecidamente George street Social y esperamos volver!

We've had a pleasure to organise a networking event for c.20 people at George Street Social and it was a delightful experience. The buffets per person we ordered turned out to be very tasty, with very big portions, drinks were great as well, but the cherry on top was the quality of the service. Everyone was incredibly helpful to accommodate all our requests and make it all work as smoothly as possible - not only in terms of serving the guests but also arranging all the logistical details with us throughout the evening. A special thanks to Ben, Alicja and the lady with black hair who was with us on the first floor most of the night (forgot the name unfortunately). In general, I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely wonderful experience at the George Street Social. Stumbled across it looking for a dog friendly place to eat, walking in we were immediately made to feel welcome. Staff were incredibly friendly and the food was fantastic. I would definitely recommend Turkish Shakshuka and for once more than enough sourdough to go with it rather than a token piece. Had a great atmosphere and definitely worth giving a go!

El tipo que nos saludó en la puerta era brillante... así es como hacer que la gente sea bienvenida... nos llevó a una mesa ordenada las bebidas tenían un poco de broma... gran ambiente... gracias... tuvimos una muy Feliz Navidad!

We were in a big rush but the staff were lovely and accommodating! We each had a hot chocolate, which were delicious and clearly made with love. Everyone was really friendly, will definitely return.

Love it here often meet people for breakfast. Service is amazing Breakfast bap is great People watching out the window is a big added bonus

Un grupo de seis amigos reservaron para el Bottomless Brunch mientras visitaban Oxford entre Navidad y Año Nuevo. Eficiente y eficaz proceso de reserva en línea y una bienvenida muy amable a la llegada. Esta cafetería / bar tiene un ambiente extremadamente agradable y relajado. Nada demasiado problema y el propietario pasó tiempo charlando con nosotros. Excelente servicio al cliente en todo y disfrutamos de un flujo constante de bebidas. La comida era muy sabrosa y muy bien presentada. No nos apresuramos y pasamos tiempo jugando juegos de mesa... Qué gran hallazgo. Gracias.

Lovely place, great service, 10/10 cocktails

Un brunch increíble, cálida bienvenida del gerente general. Los camareros Sophie y Daniel eran increíbles haciendo sus bebidas. Así como los camareros: Akshay, Joe y Justina. Gran experiencia vendría de nuevo

Best eggs royal, staff so friendly. Fast service and they also have beer on tap in the morning. 🫣

Really friendly Happy staff made our visit very enjoyable No cake for me she said until mine came and then...

Great service, tasty meals and offers GF options. The waitress guiding us made sure we had a pleasant brunch despite short wait + waiter who took our orders would remember to take orders that coeliac safe. 6/5!

Food was ok but one meal was so full of chilli my friends mouth was burning for atleast half an hour after leaving. Also, we could barely talk to each other the music was so loud. So overall, pretty standard experience.

Paid for a draught pint and a half and was told that there'd be a wait while the gas was replaced, which is fine. What's less fine is having to wait 15 mins to find out the gas line was actually down, my original drinks couldn't be given, and being offered two 330ml cans instead "at no extra cost", with the cans being cheaper than the drinks I'd already paid for. We felt ripped off so we left. Shame, used to love this place and went in to show a friend a nice place in Oxford. Won't be in a rush to go back.

Nice place to sit down for a bit and have a coffee Service is great

Nice brekfast and friendly service

It's a decent place to eat on the run.

Coffee is delicious, cozy, nice music, super friendly and attentive staff. Pet friendly

Xennan era fabuloso y nos encantaron, eran tan atentos y nos cuidaron tan bien. La comida era deliciosa, un montón de opciones vegetarianas.

¡Lo pasamos muy bien! Brunch sin fondo, gran grupo de amigos, perfecto. George Street Social se esforzó por asegurarse de que todos lo pasaran genial, incluso me trajo pastel de cumpleaños 🎂

The brunch was great and the wait staff were very attentive. The booths could have been a bit cleaner, but it really didn't affect the overall experience.

Served my vegetarian friend a meat burger, which we did not realise until the table next to us got a beef burger and they looked the same so we questioned it but she had already eaten most of it before, wouldn’t go if you have allergies or dietary requirements

Taste overall 6.5/10, The big appetite set is not good 3/10, nachos set is good 8/10, Sausage is 6/10 a lil too salty for me, Cauliflower 8/10 pretty nice, main meal Beef burger overall 7/10: burger 6/10, fries(chips) 8.5/10, Brownie 6.5/10, Tiramisu 6/10, Cake of the day (passion fruit) 6/10; Portion with price 5/10; Service 2/10 super slow, the orders are messed up, tho we have 14 ppls, we preordered everything(except drinks) a week before. The garlic prawn that a few of us ordered wasn’t served because they dont have enough(again preordered already), the vanilla ice-cream that supposed to come with cake is also missing with the reason that they dont have them today (again, preordered); cleanness 6/10 bathroom is bad; vibe is not bad 8/10 and beer is good. It might be better if u just go and get food without preorder and a lot of ppl i guess. But they definitely can improve on service. The staff is not rude tho, just not efficient.

Had a lovely time at this place! The service is so attentive, my glass was barely half empty before they topped up my bottomless brunch prosecco😂. The food was very prompt and I was cutting a cake here for my bday and they noticed I didn't have a candle and gave me one and a lighter. The turkish eggs were delicious. The shakshuka was nice but could have been more flavourful. Another pt of improvement is maybe ensure the online menu is updated per the in house menu. Vibes are 10/10.

Jay, Sophie, Peter and Xennan made our bottomless brunch very enjoyable. 10/10 and would happily return thank you very much.

Great atmosphere and service. Delicious food. We stopped on our way home for a drink and decided to have a snack so ordered the humus platter. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity. Would thoroughly recommend.

Warm vibes throughout this cosy diner in the heart of Oxford. Reasonably priced menu, offering many options other than the typical English breakfast. The coffee is fantastic. And the person running the place, a friendly, jolly fellow.

Great restaurant, fast and quality service, I recommend!

Great restaurant, fast and quality service, I recommend!

Chicken and waffles were super tasty! Good value for money. Also really appreciated being able to make a brunch booking for 12 people completely online from one day to the next!

5 star looked after our little boy for breakfast Male member of staff was the perfect host

Came here for a birthday brunch, and was left extremely disappointed. Customer service was shocking, As well as most of the food, in which contained buns, that you had run out of completely. Also ran out of multiple other things. It was 11:30 am, and was told they were out of various foods. Later found out they had ran out 4 days prior, with no notification to let us know we won’t be able to have certain things. I had booked many days before, they had Found zero solutions to make it better. Hot drinks were Luke warm. Toast was rock hard. Waiter didn’t seem to know what he was doing, as he took several of our orders wrong and missed out a few of our orders too. Put a damper on my day. Not impressed.

Good vibes - beautiful flat white, we had the Nutella pancakes and Spanish Shakshuka Baked Eggs and both meals were really good, if in Oxford again we will definitely visit!

My sister and I had the best cappuccino with almond milk ever at this place! It was so amazing that we ended up going back twice in the same day just to enjoy more of it. I’ve tried to recreate it at home, but I can’t seem to match the taste they achieve. The staff was incredibly friendly and the place was super cozy in general. I definitely didn't expect to find the best cup of coffee in England, but I can’t wait to come back to George Street Social in Oxford and have another one!

Great spot for brunch, bacon and maple pancakes were lovely!

the manager and the staff were very nice. atmosphere is quite nice as well. the food was good, but the portion could've been a bit bigger.

The best service I’ve seen well traveling 10/10. Food was also incredible had the Caesar Salad, Olives, and tortellini. Thank you!

This place was excellent, they are great with dogs and pram friendly too. Strongly recommend the chicken waffles and tortellini!

We were welcomed with a big smile, the service was super friendly & proactive and on top of that the food was great. Priced perfectly for the service delivered. Absolutely do recommend this place.

In a relaxed pub style atmosphere, good dishes and cocktails.

We had a delicious brunch. Very friendly staff and very good music. There are board games and it has a great atmosphere. We have just had a delicious brunch, kind staff and good music. Great atmosphere and table games!!! A place to enjoy!!!

Met a new friend for brunch last week, this place is in a terrific location, upstairs had a great vibe, my choice of company was superb, and the food was excellent. Good quality ingredients, good portion size, very well presented. Our waitress service was balanced superbly, the perfect level of attentiveness, whilst remaining relaxed and not pushy. My friend (female) and I agreed that our delightful blonde haired server was totally, totally stunning which only added to our experience. Highly recommended.

This was the BEST meal I have had in Oxford. The staff is exceptionally nice. When my order was made wrong, the server brought it back and made it right without me having to ask. The prices are beyond reasonable. Highly recommend!

Fantastic trip to the George Street Social, our server was excellent. Made the visit perfect.

Came here w a large group and it was a very good experience. We pre-ordered our food and everything came out as expected within a short amount of time. The food was excellent, and our server was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend!

Had a lovely brunch here with my girls! Nachos and pancakes were yum. Staff were super accommodating and friendly.

Really mixed bag with this place. Food was incredible but the service really wasn't up to scratch. Come here if you have all the time in the world and want some tasty food but I'm not sure if all the staff were having a bad day because our experience really didn't match the raving service reviews I read prior to booking. We waited at the door for a long time without being acknowledged by any of the staff walking past (a quick someone will be with you soon takes seconds even when busy!) Then it was a long wait to order and for the food to arrive. Also told that only certain meals could have add ons otherwise the chefs would get angry...thought this was a joke at first but it's certainly an interesting reason to not make some extra money from us that we were willing to pay! Had to go up to the bar to order more drinks as we were ignored at the table and again no acknowledgment for a while when stood at bar even a quick smile is better than nothing. We were asked if we were finished with the food but then our full drinks were cleared too?! Hope this was just an off day as it was pretty disappointing.

Service was good. But the food tasted very bad, wont recommend. Such a waste of money, chicken tasted like a frozen one from tesco!!!

We stopped here for lunch when arriving in Oxford. I had the tagliatelle and my wife the sweet potato pasta. Our food was very tasty and our drinks were excellent.

The live music was amazing, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Food was good and affordable. Shelves could use a good cleaning there was a lot of dust, etc. next to the table where we were eating. There was a vase with moldy flowers on the shelves next to our table as well.

Great vibes! Staff were fabulous, especially Ala, who made our bottomless brunch the best! Have done many bottomless brunches but would say this is the best!

This is what eating out is meant to be like!!! We felt so welcomed, loved the vibe, loved the owner because he went above and beyond to be the host with the most! There is a reason this place is busy … it’s because it’s flippin’ fantastic!!

Had a tasty lunch in what is an atmospheric and informal space. An ample selection is offered and we were delighted with what arrived. Staff were friendly even though quite busy. Quite pleased with this stop-off.

The place is a bit of a mess. Food is ok, but they struggle to explain or advise on the menu. We were constantly chased by 3 different waiters asking what do we want to order, even when we ordered everything. They messed up 2 orders out of 3. Guys, just slow down and put your energy to make service more accurate ;)

Good food and the great thing is that they allow dogs. They also gave a bowl of water for my dog. Highly appreciate that.

This place is perfect for having breakfast with a delicious coffee.

Highly recommend the bottomless brunch here, best one we’ve found in Oxford. The staff are all lovely! Lots of great food options.

Decent place for a cake and a coffee. The atmosphere was nice. Removing one extra star for adding a service tax without asking the customer first.

In summary, George Street Social in Oxford boasts reasonable prices but leaves much to be desired. Patrons may be taken aback by the unexpected addition of sugar in their pancake batter and waffles. Furthermore, the subpar service and uninspiring ambiance detract from the overall dining experience. Despite the affordability, there are probably superior dining options in the vicinity. If you're seeking a more satisfying culinary outing in Oxford, it's worth exploring other establishments.

Really enjoyed a Sunday brunch here. Food was tasty and well priced, and the waiter was really friendly. Easy to book a table online, and there is plenty of space too in case you want to just turn up

Loved the atmosphere, loved the staff. Best bottomless brunch I have been to. Thank you for this experience. 😊

Below-average service: we asked for tap water twice and didn't receive any, yet there was a 12% service charge added. If you're going to include a service charge, at least provide tap water upon request. Additionally, the space was overcrowded with tables packed so tightly it felt like we were sitting with strangers. It was also extremely loud. I won't be returning here.

We visited late in the evening and our waiter was the most helpful and attentive to my unique allergy needs. The food was delicious, the environment was quaint, and the service was a delight.

What a great venue! Booked in for bottomless brunch on Sunday and we were very well looked after by the staff: it genuinely was bottomless because our glasses never ran out! They were back to top them up before we ever finished them, I was very impressed! The food was good too, came quickly even though it was very busy. There was also a live pianist - a great addition that really added to the atmosphere. Really impressed with the experience, would definitely recommend booking though as it gets very busy!

This bar looks like a little quirky café. In fact you can get coffee and cake there if you wish! There are other food options too ranging from breakfast to dinner and also snacks. Upon entering you soon see that there is more seating upstairs. The staff are cheerful and attentive, they have a good drink menu including beer, wine and cocktails which they will bring to your table. The Nachos are amazing, lots of topping (sour cream, chilli peppers, fresh tomato salsa and the guacamole is delicious). With live music every Thursday and Friday from 8pm, this is definitely a place to visit for a fab night out.

Amazing pancakes. Great service, coffee was great too. Would recommend for brunch. Update of March 2024. Returned and had eggs Benedict. Very busy but service was excellent. The food was of very high standard. I will be going back!

Stop by and buy me a wrap sandwich, to go. It was delicious

We had such a great brunch here, it was so reasonably priced and we were continually popped up with our bottomless drinking. A special thanks to Hennon because two of the girls chose beer and could only drink two of them, so he gave us takeaway cups for the third! Overall a great hen do brunch, my only tip would be to ask for the siracha sauce on the side if you go for the chicken waffle as there was a lot!

We had a fantastic time at a brunch today, a small hen party but a wonderful time. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Our glasses were never empty and the staff were super helpful and friendly. We received the best service, especially from Ala and Hannan. Wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. Thanks for a great afternoon x

Friendly staff, delicious cake and a relaxed atmosphere. We were struggling to find anywhere open for afternoon tea in Oxford at 4 pm …GSS came to the rescue. We will be back for breakfast soon!

Poor service - cold food The couple behind us experienced the same problems and was told by the manager, there was nothing she could do - unbelievable!! There must have been 20 to 30 people turned away as they couldn’t cope - the restaurant was half full - hmmmmm

We chose this spot due to the late morning availability time frame and proximity to the bus station before our departure at Oxford and while the food was mediocre, the service was fine and it checked the box on the convenience factor. We tried different variations of the Eggs Benedict, from traditional to Florentine (spinach) to Salmon, and they were all well presented but underwhelming in terms of flavor. Our server was humorous (or at least he thought so!) and was engaged and helpful throughout our meal.

Funny and kind gentleman served us (owner?). I ordered eggs Florentine snd wanted to love it, but the sourdough was so tough I couldn’t even cut it with a steak knife. The gentleman said it’s homemade. I don’t know what to say about this, other than I would pass on the bread. The eggs and sauce were lukewarm, but ok. He accommodated a fruit bowl request (off menu) for my kid. I appreciated that, although some of the berries were mushy. I don’t think I’d return.

1st time visit for me. Lovely atmosphere. Great music. Good location and reasonable prices. Food was excellent, but huge portions. Would visit again.❤

Perfect place for a brunch! Food was amazing, service wasn’t the best. Make sure you have booked a table 😉

Great food, terrific service and fab atmosphere
