Where to Satisfy Vegetarian Cravings in Oxford

Being a vegetarian is no simple task, particularly when it comes to eating out. Oxford may be home to chicken-on-a-stick, but it also offers plenty of vegetarian options if you know the right places to look.
Volta is an Oxford staple for Greek food and a great place to go out for a meal with friends. Start with a dip plate complete with homemade hummus and pimento cheese followed by a falafel wrap or greek pizza. If you are looking to stay on the lighter side, the walnut and goat cheese salad is a filling and delicious entree.
