The award-winning Brookes Restaurant is an integral part of the curriculum of the Oxford School of Hospitality Management. It is the venue where staff and students meet and share their passion for food, wine, and exceptional service to deliver a unique dining experience to the local community and members of Oxford Brookes alike.
Brookes Restaurant and its dedicated staff provide valuable practical experience to both first and final year International Hospitality Management students every academic year that prepares them to enter the hospitality industry with confidence and excitement. Moreover, the restaurant is a working space that helps students focus on the practical tasks and take their minds off the busy academic schedule and relieve stress.
We support Brookes Restaurant and believe the Oxford School of Hospitality Management would not be able to deliver the same world-class hospitality education should the restaurant cease its operations.

The restaurant gave me such a great insight into the industry when I was a young student. Today I own and run a successful restaurant chain in Europe, thanks to all the experience and teaching at this marvelous university restaurant and school.
I attended Oxford Brookes back when it was OxPoly and had friends on this degree program. The restaurant was fabulous way for them to learn and hone their skills AND the food was fantastic. I can't believe the University would be SO utterly short-sighted!
Do enough people know about this fabulous restaurant? If the restaurant is not viable with the current number of visitors then a marketing campaign should be considered to keep it open. Students undertaking marketing degree could undertake this.
Organising our own event from start to finish in the restaurant was 100% the best part of my degree course. The restaurant as a training facility was one of the reasons I chose Oxford Brookes University. It would be a mistake to close Brookes Restaurant.
Closing the restaurant would be a huge disservice so past, present and future students. It’s what sets Brooke’s apart from other competitor universities, and was my deciding factor when choosing where to study international hospitality management.
5 star restaurant
The restaurant is an essential element of the world ranked international hospitality and management degree offered at Oxford Brookes.

Brookes Restaurant is a jewel in the crown of the Oxford dining scene. I have dined there on scores of occasions over the years and think the food is outstanding. It brings great prestige to the University. It closure would be an immense act of self-harm.
