British cooking done properly at the Hilton, where Drake Way's corporate veneer gives way to honest food and proper cocktails.

You walk into OXBO expecting the usual hotel restaurant letdown, but instead find yourself in a space that actually feels like somewhere worth your time. It's the kind of place where the kitchen takes British ingredients seriously—seasonal menus that change with actual thought behind them, not some corporate memo. The cocktail list is proper too, the sort of thing that makes you reconsider what a hotel bar can be. It's caught on with Reading locals beyond the business traveller crowd, which says everything.
