Hotel restaurant in Oxford.

Good food and good company at our restaurant near Oxford. 

Spires Restaurant is made for evenings that don’t need overthinking. The menu changes with the seasons, bringing together traditional favourites and plenty of choice for everything from an easy family dinner to a few unhurried courses. 

For something more casual, the Lounge Bar has a cosy, contemporary feel and its own food menu with a mix of light bites and heartier options. It’s family-friendly too, and you can grab a spot to watch the match at the weekend. 

For a sense of occasion, Afternoon Tea brings the classics - finger sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and plenty of cakes and sweet treats. There’s a traditional option, or the chance to add Prosecco, Hendrick’s Gin or Champagne. 

Private dining is also available for celebrations and get-togethers that call for a space of their own. 

Joining us for two nights or more? Dine with us a second time and enjoy 10% off a three-course meal, including both food and drinks. Simply keep the bill from your previous meal and present it when you dine with us again.

Tripadvisor Testimonial
Best treatment ever
Best treatment ever with Alissa :) thank you
Lovely spa break - recommended
I had a lovely time on a spa break overnight. Food was yummy, nice atmosphere in bar. Staff nice and professional. Room clean and spacious. Plenty of spaces in carpark. Spa treatments very relaxing
Spa and Lunch day out
Great facilities to use and a lot of freedom with the use of them. The massage I received from Alissa was very relaxing and thorough, just what you need. She was very kind and was brilliant as well!
Spa day and lunch
We had a lovely Spa and lunch afternoon here. Pool, sauna and steam room were lovely and clean! Most impressed with Brenda who did my fit for business massage - she was absolutely amazing and very kind! Will be visiting again 😊
Relaxing break
Just returned from a lovely break at the Belfry. Very relaxing. We were well cared for by the host Neo, who allowed us to upgrade our room and gave us a map of the hotel and relevant information as well as showing us to our room and advising on local attractions. The hotel is a bit of a maze so it helped to have the map! We made use of the pool and sauna area and the restaurant. Both were excellent. There were some small issues with the room, such as there were no coat hangers, no bottle opener for the bottles in the minibar and no pods for the coffee machine, but these were minor issues and the reception gave us a bottle opener when we asked for one. Some parts of the hotel looked worn and tired but on the whole it was clean and tidy. There is not much within walking distance but the hotel is about 10 minutes drive from the thornhill park and ride, which is an excellent and reasonable way to travel into the city. Thank you to the staff who made our stay so enjoyable.
A successful reunion
This was an alumni reunion meeting so the location was ideal for the wide uk distribution of guests. The hotel is spacious with many areas to just be able to sit and chat and a welcoming atmosphere. We have always found the hotel to be clean and tidy with good food and the rooms spacious. There were a few small niggles such as an understaffed bar pre dinner and a not quite perfect communication between the events and restaurant staff. However all the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful.
Top conference centre that meet all your needs.
What a lovely place. Attended a two day conference. The facilities were amazing. Large room, staff were professional with great food and plenty of things to do. Made to feel very welcome. Would recommend this venue for all your conference needs. Great set up of the room. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to the staff for all their help.
Good but poor veggetarian options during meals.
Hotel is good, facilities and staff very attentive and nice attention to detail in the rooms etc. Sadly for me the experience was let down by the very mediocre vegetarian food available during the conference I attended. Particularly at one lunch time when there were no hot veggie meals available only dimsum and mini spring rolls. (Staff were helpful at the time in offering a veggie green curry) but even that was poor without any protien and just some watery veg in the green curry sauce. For a large respected chain such as this I would expect better provision of non-meat options.
Deep tissue massage
Had a deep tissue massage by Brenda was one of the best massages I have had. She is a credit to the Belfry Spa.

Belfry Oxford
Sophie and Ella on the bar were very helpful and very welcoming ,efficient & pleasant I’d give these girls a pay rise before they get snapped up by another hotel
Very relaxing
Amazing experience Brenda gave me the best massage I’ve ever had !! A+ and Neo was a great host.
Spa, Facial with Alissa
Alissa was brilliant, I had a very relaxing facial she was knowledgable on products and professional throughout 😊
Solo stay
Booked a solo break for 2 nights and had a couple of spa treatments during my stay. The 50 minute back, face and scalp massage by Alissa was amazing and so relaxing, would definitely recommend! The room was clean and comfortable, only downside though was it was quite cold and the heat seemed to be on a timer so during the day it was chilly. Overall stay however was wonderful and relaxing, would definitely book again.
The extra mile
We were delighted with the service received especially from the Front of House Manager Sofie who went the extra mile plus and our receptionist Neo was charming and welcoming Certainly going back
Incredible massage experience
Incredible massage with Alissa. It was worth every penny and one of the best experiences in a hotel spa / masssage.
