    Oxford Covered Market

    We will start the tour at the bar in the Market tap. However, I would advise visiting the Market beforehand to have a look around and enjoy some food from some of the great street food style vendors. I would recommend pizza by Satorellis, or if you're feeling really British, Pie and Mash from Pieminister!
