ABOUT

The Folly relishes its status as one of Oxford’s few independent, family owned restaurants. They offer an excellent dining experience in a unique location as well as providing wonderfully unusual experiences such as their Cruise and Dine package, Afternoon Tea Cruises as well as Riverside dining all year round either al Fresco or under their beautiful winter domes.

The Folly Restaurant Oxford

Working in such a beautiful location is a privilege, and we, as a team, often find ourselves enjoying being at The Folly quite possibly nearly as much as if it was not our workplace! Not only are the views from the restaurant relaxing, but the amazing community around us makes us feel like we belong together, and this is priceless!

Thomas Simon, General Manager
