Oxford Hotel, is a great pub for a good afternoon after a long shift with some friends. EWe’ve been going for quite some time now. Mainly to enjoy ourselves with drinks and playing rounds of pool. We’ve also have eaten at this pub some mains but mainly snacks and the one thing that me and my friends absolutely could indulge in and be satisfied was what use to be the thick juicy pineapple cut squid/calamari.

Recently we went a couple days ago and all I craved and my gf craved was the squid. We ordered the squid but had noticed that I had spent $21 for a starter, was beyond me in itself. I never mind with pricing but it’s got to satisfy my taste buds. Without hesitation assuming I was going to get the calamari how we’ve always had it. It came out in a tiny bowl and I noticed it was cute differently, they had obviously used baby squid for this dish because it’s a very common starter dish in most places and they all use small baby squid. I probably got 6 tiny bite pieces out of it and my gf 3. I was very unsatisfied with how little we got and for the price.

The staff and manager all handled it well and were very empathetic and had informed me that the menu had changed. So thank you to the staff/manager for dealing with me.

I know that this one dish was all I’m complaining about, but when you have a crave….. you would expect to get what you think you would be paying for.

Bring back the thick pineapple cut squid back please!!!! ;(
