The best bars and cafés Southeast

This (very) small café is renowned for its homemade cakes! Delicious lemon cakes, peanut butter cookies, banana breads... are served with coffee, traditional tea or homemade hot chocolate. There's also plenty to nibble on for lunch, with a choice of grilled cheese sandwiches, salads and savoury croissants. Even if the place is cramped, it's comfortable and authentic, and you can even stock up on coffee, roasted on site! Please note: there are no toilets on site.

It started out as an unpretentious pub, far removed from the hustle and bustle of central Oxford. Its concert hall enabled Radiohead to sign to their current label. And that's not all! The band Supergrass also played here in the early 1990s. Today, the pub is decked out in bright, garish colors. Beanbags are available, a jukebox plays the best indie tunes and the beers are really cheap. You can also enjoy inventive cocktails, gin and a wide variety of ciders.
Tables can be booked online.
