Oxford Tavern, Petersham

By Foodisourreligion @food_religion
Jamie Thomas has done it again. I welcome you to Oxford Tavern, the newest member to the Drink and Dine group located up the road from all the Portuguese charcoal chicken joints on New Canterbury Road in Petersham. It is also the first member of the group to be located in the inner west.

Cheeseburgers - $5


I have always been quite a fan of the pubs in the Drink and Dine group. Although I have a couple more to tick off, the food from the ones where I have visited such as the CarringtonForrestersHouse of Crabs and the Californian at the Santa Barbara, has never failed to disappoint. Even though the dishes  on the menus may be considered 'pub food', Jamie Thomas always delivers it with a twist or finds a way to make them taste quite exceptional.

Crinkle cut chips with guacamole, mustard and mince beef
Basically like nacho's with a twist! 


The ceviche is always a favorite of mine but even more of a favorite when it is served on a shrimp cracker. Extra crispy and a great contrast of texture when you have a smooth piece kingfish that melts in your mouth.
The BBQ pork was also another awesome dish of the night. The pork was tender and flavoursome but the best bit for me, was having the meat with the slaw. I am normally not a huge fan of slaw but for some reason, I always enjoy the version made by Jamie. I think it's the sauce? It just seems to make the main dish taste even better.

Cheeseburgers - $5


I like buns and I like them big. I am not going to lie. These cheeseburgers were one of the best I have ever had and for 5 bucks, these buns were definitely big. This is a must have for every visit to the Oxford Tavern. One bite into the cheeseburger and you get a taste of  the mustard, pickle, ketchup followed by the cheese melting right onto the juicy beef patty. Absolutely deerrricious! 
Can't wait to come back for more to eat ALL the buns!
