The Oxford

Recommend the fish & chips with curry sauce, this is the best restaurant for fish!!! Taste great!

One of the little hidden treasures of Glasgow city centre, nestled off a side street in Cowcaddens, opposite the Travelodge and Easy Hotel, it’s one of the best chippys you’ll ever eat at. I always make a beeline for here if I’m peckish and in the area.
You can sit in at the tables provided in AND outdoors and munch on your superior food. It’s all standard chippy fare, with the now Glasgow standard pizza crunch on the menu too. Prices are reasonable, although slightly dearer than the competitive Blue Lagoon chain of famous chippys dotted about the city.
For my money, and this is my review, so you’ll have to put up with it — this is the best city centre chippy about. Sorry, Blue Lagoon, but them’s the facts.
No idea why it’s called The Oxford though!

last time I was in the oxford the woman behind the counter was licking her fingers before picking up the grease proof paper to add the chips too, avoid unless you want to risk a bad attack of the runs

If you want to make fish n chips, you could do worse than to start here. They have everything basic, but right:
Fish. Fried. Batter neither too thick or too thin, not greasy.
Chips: made from spuds. Thick. Absorbent to vinegar.
Tea: brick red builder’s.
Bread: 1 slice, white, butter.
The guys come from behind the counter and chat about football, politics, and I’m not sure that else. Farsi? Urdu?
They’ve got a separate halal fryer, if that’s important to you.
Cheap, literally, as chips: large fish supper under £6. Small 5 £4. Eat here.

The Oxford is somewhat of a wee secret since it’s tucked away in Garnethill, but it’s worth the 2 minute venture from Sauchiehall St if you’re in need of a good fry feast!
It looks quite upmarket from the outside, and it sells a number of café culture food and beverages such as coffee and sandwiches. But I must be honest, I go here for the chips! They are soft and lightly salted, yum yum.
There are a few tables where you can sit in but it’s equally good for a takeaway. It’s handy for surrounding tennants, art school students, subway commuters but most of all, it surely is no secret to people sleeping in the Travelodge! If you’re crashing there for a time, it’s the perfect way to introduce yourself to the finer side of Scottish cuisine — a fish supper!

The Oxford Chip shop is excellent and great value for a lunchtime munch, I only go on a Friday, if I am partaking in some libation later in the day. Miles better than the Blue Lagoon.
Well done Oxford Chippy keep up the good work!

AHA! your open again. After closing down for what seemed like an age, this chippy has risen from the chip pan fryer grave to be reborn as a nice new shiny version of its old self.
Located on the edge of Garnet Hill and not a kick in the arse away form Sauchiehall street, The Oxford is a typical example of an old style fish and chips café. The interior has been nicely finished after its well overdue recent face lift, with an open plan shop replacing the previously divided takeaway and sitting areas.
Its nice. They have also made an attempt to capture some of the coffee culture crown with a big ol sign tempting us caffeine junkie with «Italian Coffee» sold here, or something along those lines. Worth a punt guys, but chips and coffee just don’t really go that well together «Fish Supper and a low fat, hazelnut latte please… «don’t think so.
Anyway…good grub, nice chips, not to greasy and a pleasant clean wee café. Me likes!
