There’s Monkey’s birthday to look forward to of course, but with two chocoholics in the household the first of December means advent calendar time.

The cafe is right next door to the Oxford Castle, and only a few minutes walk from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Actually it’s a little oasis of peace, light…Continue reading A lunchtime treat at the Castleyard Cafe Oxford
