"I've been going to Oxford for 3 years now and in that time to be frank struggled to find a decent go to restaurant. I can now say with delight i've found my destination. I present SPICED ROOTS a little caribbean culinary gem. The fresh perfectly cooked food is absolutely delicious and gives off that home cooked by mummy vibe and is beautifully presented. The chilli and garlic prawns had my eyes closed Mark Weins style (if you know you know) so juicy with an incredible depth of flavour, the Trini doubles not only were seasoned to perfection they left you wanting more and the Jerk chicken spring rolls were an absolute triumph. For mains we had the ackee and callaloo Jerk Tempah (vegetarian) and the Jerk chicken. Both came with rice peas, plaintain and salad. Not only were the portions huge the flavours of both dishes were just mind blowingly delicious. Then we embarked on dessert and had the beautiful spiced rum cake and a selection of 3 home made ice creams namely Coconut, Guinness and the old Caribbean favourite Rum and Raisin, all recommended by the owner. It's at this point I feel compelled to speak about the rum raisin ice cream. I've eaten this ice cream on numerous occasions at numerous locations in Jamaica over my many years and I tell you no word of a lie this was hands down the best rum and raisin ice cream I've ever tasted, it literally left us speechless. So to summarise, this place has great food, great music, great service and a wonderfully charming owner who's totally invested in serving great, incredibly tasty, authentic Caribbean food clearly prepared with love. What more could you ask for. Fair to say it was meant to be. Uncle Jay."

"I have been searching for a venue to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday next year. He is of Jamaican descent, and we found June Plum and decided to take him there for a meal this year. Upon our arrival at 5:15pm, my daughter gave a cake to a staff member to hide in the kitchen as a surprise for my husband. We requested to place our food order at 5:25pm, but even after our drinks order had been taken and served, our food order was not taken. After a second request, we finally placed our food order. By 6:15pm, we still had not received our food and when we inquired about the delay, we were given a story about the table before us still not being served. At this time, there were only them and us in the restaurant. We were told maybe another 15 minutes for our food, but by 6:30pm, we were still waiting. The front of house manager apologized and could not give us a definite time for our food, mentioning that the table before us would take another 10-15 minutes. After two hours of waiting, we were still not able to eat. The staff mentioned attending a cricket match the day before, but we were unsure how that was relevant to our wait. When we finally asked for the bill and received it along with the surprise birthday cake for my husband, which was supposed to be a surprise, we were disappointed. Although the front of house manager apologized and offered us the drinks on the house, we have decided not to return to June Plum and will not be booking it for my husband's 60th birthday meal. While we appreciate supporting small businesses, we cannot tolerate such long waits for service."

"12 of us went for a work Christmas dinner. Booked by someone else. I was the first person to arrive and was invited to either wait at the table or the bar I decided to get a drink drink first and before I’d finished ordering my drink everyone else started to arrive were told that we had the table for 2 hours. We all went to the table and had sent our food order 2 days before as requested, which they had lost so we then had to order individually from the menu and wait longer for the order to be cooked. The food on the whole was delicious, if I were to be picky the prawns were overcooked but they were still tasty, and everyone else enjoyed theirs. The waitress barely smiled the whole 2 hours we had the table and proceeded to come over with a card reader to ask for payment whilst we were all still eating stating we had 10 minutes! If they hadn’t of lost our order and the service was a little quicker we would’ve finished our food before the allotted time. If this had been the end of the visit the rating would have been lower, but 2 members of bar staff bumped it up. They couldn’t have been better, happy, helpful and highly efficient. We had moved to the bar area and they kept me topped up with iced water all night (designated driver) often coming over and just topping me up. I appreciate Christmas in the hospitality trade is manic at Xmas but rude staff are not acceptable when we spent a lot of money which we all worked hard to earn. It’s also not made clear that there is such a short time limit on the table."
