No1 Ship Street - Menu

Mark provided excellent service, and the hot fish platter was exceptional.

Disappointed Generally , having had No 1 highly recommended we felt let down , we ordered the fish platter that consisted of a bowl of mussels and Prawns with not a lot else oh bread and chips . The Service charge added to the bill, thought this was wrong .

The food and wine at this restaurant are quite expensive but of good quality. Some dishes are more on par with a gastropub, while others are more like restaurant fare. The wine list starts at a minimum of 25 bottles for around 12-15 wines, which is a common markup in the UK but still disappointing. Despite this, we had a pleasant evening with exceptional personal service.

Have visited lots of times and we always look forward to it. This time though there seemed to have been a change in staff and service was slow and not up to usual standard (they gave away our table booking whilst we were having a pre-dinner drink and then our order failed to make it's way to the kitchen meaning we had 1 hour wait for food). Generally it's a great spot for a special night out, but I would expect better next time.

Lovely atmosphere, really friendly welcome and impressive food. We had oysters and chicken wings to start, both excellent. We then both had half lobster as our mains, which we felt could have been bigger given the price but overall tasted amazing. Only marked the service down a bit as we had to wait to get someone's attention for napkins and extra cutlery but they were very friendly and clearly experienced. Enjoyed our visit, would highly recommend!

We had another great meal with our Australian sister and brother in law. We have now visited 5 times since Christmas and the meals have been so consistently good. The fish platter was superb, as usual, as was the fish and chips. Brother in law has a gluten issue and was catered for in a very efficient and enjoyable way. Great choice of wines and cocktails and a good night was had by all. Many thanks to the friendly staff, they are always charming and friendly.

I had a wonderful evening with a couple of Australian friends I met on a cruise to Norway last week. They mentioned their love for seafood, so I invited them to Oxford to explore the sights. We decided to dine at No 1 Ship Street, where we had a fantastic meal. They particularly enjoyed the lobster and gin cocktail. It was a memorable night. I am planning to return on the 17th to celebrate my son-in-law's and my birthdays, and I am eagerly looking forward to it.

Firstly when we entered no body was there to assist us, after someone came and asked for the name on the Booking and told us we should had to the first floor the first floor is a bar area is not a lounge area and is not suitable to dine in there because is away too cold there was no heating on one bar tender was nice serving the tables on the first floor as well as having to keep up serving the bar so is not his fault they don’t put enough staff in there. The meal was not too bad but when it comes to paying is away too easy for three people we paid almost £140 for a to course meal one bottle of water and one small glass of wine I have seen a lot better places and food else where I wouldn’t r...

Well I’m not one to slander a business but after reading a great Wright up in a magazine and reading many online reviews thought we’d give it a try. We are on the 1st floor, to begin the service from the waiter was shambolic we arrived early and were seated promptly began to order some water and a bottle of wine which for some reason took our waiter an unbelievable amount of time and after two prompts still no water. Eventually got our drinks and so began wait on food. Working in the industry I know bad nights happen etc but 40 minutes waiting for food with no check back or any acknowledgement of a wait time suggested. So after 46 min we get our food no apology or any explanation from the se...
