Against the Permanent Closure of Brookes Restaurant

The Brookes restaurant forms a great foundation to the hotel course provided by the university. 20 years after bein taught there i still use the many skills I learnt in my day to day life.

Hospitality industry need graduates with practical training “learning by doing”

This excellent restaurant is a vital part of the school of hospitality and management for students whose practical experience is a vital part of their training. I 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.

It would be a crying shame to close Brookes Restaurant, as it provides excellent service, delicious food at very reasonable prices and a lovely relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a meal.

Thsi is a great venue, good food and nto too faer from our workplace. It woud be a great shame ot close this learning experience restaurant.

We hope that sense is seen , and the huge value of the on-site restaurant is appreciated as an essential experience of this well regarded course.

An essential part of the cuisine landscape in Headington. It cannot be lost.

Christmas menu is fantastic, we go each year with work colleagues

Please don’t close this restaurant

hopefully it stays open

it will be a very sad day if this restaurant closes

Closing this restaurant would be a desperate shame for students who will lose this vital experience as part of their training and for the community who will lose one of the best restaurants that Oxford has.

Have been a few times and have loved it. Such a positive place.

As a former student of Brookes and a former Headington resident I believe this would be a massive loss for both. It really is a hidden gem.

A fantastic resource that shouldn't be closed. Brilliant cookery courses for kids and adults.

The restaurant is a fantastic training ground to inspire students and a great asset to the community.

Brookes is currently advertising its Hospitality Management BSc on the basis of, "You will also spend time enhancing your practical skills in Brookes Restaurant and our modern kitchen." And what about the cookery school too?

A great asset that should not be allowed to close.

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.

A short sighted and appalling decision by the Senior Management at Oxford Brookes
