I don't know Oxford and have never been to the covered market before, so I had no idea where to go. Of course Google Maps reviews was my first port of call but it seemed everywhere was highly rated - no bad thing, but it didn't help me choose. So I decided to literally (well actually) follow my nose, I only had half an hour and it'd taken 5 minutes to get to the covered market, so I had a quick walk around and as soon as I got near to Alpha Bar it smelled very good, and there was a bit of a queue... now, I was short on time, but a bit of a queue is usually a good sign, and this was proved correct when shortly after joining the queue I was served - they got through orders quickly but I didn't feel rushed. I ordered the Chicken Panang Curry from the specials board (although everything looked good) and it was worth the short wait, very fresh and tasty, whole chicken in the mix which I was a fan of, very juicy and tender. Only marked down for atmosphere as there's no inside to eat, just a couple of small tables outside in quite a busy walkway. However, it did the job and I was finished and back where I needed to be with a few minutes to spare. Overall it was a very nice way to fill a half hour lunch break and my belly.

El café aquí era increíble! Y el café es bastante hermoso y original - unos pocos asientos con vistas a las actividades de la tostadora. Vale la pena buscar este en un callejón trasero en Headington. Encantadas también tienen una sucursal en el centro de la ciudad.
Galletas horneadas maravillosamente frescas justo en el mercado cubierto. Hay una docena de tipos diferentes de cookies para elegir. Todo fresco y listo para agarrar y llevar. Las mejores galletas de Oxford.
Great place to eat, best baklava in Oxford the variety in sandwiches is also good. The fact you pay extra to eat in was new to me but as I only really get take out it was nice to get food for less. Good portioning for price :)
Así que mi esposa y yo fuimos aquí debido a las críticas de Tripadvisor. El café es muy bueno y mis esposas planas blancas también era muy bueno. Desafortunadamente mi macchiato no era un macchiato en absoluto, era más un mini latte. Un macchiato adecuado es una inyección simple o doble de café expreso con una pequeña cantidad de espuma de leche colocada encima del café con una cuchara. No debería haber leche vertida en el café en sí, así que un poco defraudado.
Almorzamos que a pesar de no estar demasiado ocupados fue muy lento todo el almuerzo pareció tardar una eternidad. La comida no era tan mala, pero no era genial para el precio. Tuvimos el menú de almuerzo establecido y actualicé mi bistec al Sirloin Steak Deluxe con papas fritas triples cocinadas. En mi opinión parecían patatas fritas de horno. Sorpréndete mucho si estuvieran triplemente cocinados.
