Eats - Originating in Oxford University's oldest college, New College Pudding was created to stave off the cold with its epic fat and sugar content.

Drinks - Shotover Brewery are based just outside of the city, but their craft ales are some of the best you can get in any of Oxford's many pubs. With four unique and distinct beers sold in pubs, cafés and shops all over the city, Shotover's brews are worth a stag sampling or three.
While Oxford's centre is compact and easily walked the best way of getting around is on a pushbike. Oxford is one of England's flattest counties and is filled with cycle lanes, Boris Bike inspired rental schemes and bike shops for longer pushbike loans.

As we're sure you're aware, the book of all books is compiled in Oxford. It's been certified as the most updated book of all time - the Oxford English Dictionary! Here are some more unusual words that have made it in this year that we're sure you can slip into your Oxford stag weekend:
A small fact that you may not be aware of is that Oxford has a very long history of brewing. In the 16th century, brewing was the most popular trade in the city and several of the University collages had their very own mini breweries. By 1874 there were 9 breweries in the growing city and a further 13 brewers shipping in beer from elsewhere - these guys were getting serious. The biggest and oldest brewery belonged to the Morrell Brewing Company spanning 2 centuries from 1782 to 1998. The iconic brewery was designed by local architect Harry Drinkwater (we're not sure he kept to his names sake!) and has a very distinctive yellow brick chimney. Sadly, the brewery is no longer in use and has now been converted into luxury apartments however Drinkwater also designed many other pubs for the Morrells. Why not visit The Cape of Good Hope situated on Iffley Road during your Oxford stag weekend, where none other than Roger Bannister ran the very first 4 minute mile. We've all heard of gasping for a pint but ol' Rog was clearly parched.
Another of Oxford's big industries is that of the motoring world and it was once an important hub of motor manufacturing. Morris Motors established their business there in 1910 where the infamous Morris Minor was first built in 1928. The world famous, mini coopers were also produced in Oxford and still are to this day. These days however, you will find higher octane vehicles to feed your appetite, such as Honda pilots, Off Road Karts and even Stockcar Racing available as part of stag do packages. Get to grips with these powerful machines in a destination that is steeped in motoring history.
We hear you scream. Handily, Oxford is slap bang in middle of the country and is easily accessible by a number of means of transport.
