Called for a drink - welcoming server, a nice, gentle area to sut and relax. Dedicated as ut says on the tin, to Inspector Morse.

Calm cocktails and beverages bar in the Randolf Hotel. We had two noon signature cocktails to honour Morse and Lewis which were first class. The decor is on the deco / 1940s with a range of photos celebrating the Oxford investigative duo. We also heard, the author Colin Dexter often frequented the hotel which inspired his writing; as it would today with its varied clientele. Used the very pleasant cloakrooms. Highly recommend.
