Think Oxford’s all tweed jackets and Latin mottos? Think again. This city also knows how to throw a cracking birthday party. One minute you’re clinking glasses on a terrace by the Isis, the next you’re tucked into a candlelit booth behind High Street or digging into cake in a Jericho bistro that definitely knows its desserts. Cowley brings the noise and the cocktails, while the city centre keeps things classy with fizz and flair. Big bash, intimate dinner, or just an excuse to eat dessert first—there’s a birthday table waiting. Go on, have a nosy. Your celebration starts here.
