Three friends and myself are university students from South Africa and will be staying in Eynsham (near oxford)for roughly 2 months over Dec/jan. And are looking to work in Pubs in oxford (or near by) while we are there. But not physically being in the UK makes looking for jobs really difficult, so if any body knows of any pubs that need staff over the winter months could they please let me know! So if you could give me contact details of pubs or advice on how to go about looking for pub work, even though im not in the country it would be GREATLY appreciated! :)
I think it would be very difficult to arrange this type of work in advance. There are loads of pubs in oxford and your best bet would be to try for work once you arrive. If you don't get pub work, there are lots of cafes, resturants, etc, which regularly hire staff on short-term basis.
have a look on tntmagazine.com
Hi there
i work in the pub and resturant trade in oxford, and its almost impossible to get a job in oxford due to new strick employment laws! you need to have a british insurenece number ( very hard to get ) and a British bank account!!! and the right working visas ( they wont even look at you without them) !
having said that i know that the younges bars to employee travelers and supply living quarters too (however theses are given to couples mostly)
try www.youngs.co.uk
good luck

See Christ Church Cathedral. This is where Lewis Carroll aka the Reverend Charles Dodgson was an Oxford Don and wrote his classic story, Alice in Wonderland. Alice Liddel was the daughter of Dean Liddel, at Christ Church, and Carroll took a liking to her. He used to take Alice and her sister out on the River Cherwell to row around and make up stories. Besides the rather obvious implications of his possible pedophelia, he actually did ask Alice to marry him a few times. I believe she was 11. Nonetheless, he's a brilliant writer and this College is steeping in rich history. If you can get inside the dining hall, you can see the firescreen decorated with what is believed to be the inspiration for John Tenniel's first rendering of Alice for the book.

Daily Info is the go-to site for anything Oxford. Very similar to Craigslist in New York, Daily Info offers everything from accomodation (wanted and offered), sales of bikes, cars, clothes, etc, offering of services, jobs (wanted and offered), personal ads and local events! It's sort of a Time Out site for Oxford. Everything you'd want to know before visiting Oxford (or even while you're here!), you can find at dailyinfo.co.uk!
Comfortable Shoes. Ilana and I wore holes all the way through pairs of boots in our travels. In the Spring it gets really cold. Bring a warm jacket, hat, scarf, gloves, the whole shebang! You'll need it. The day the sun came out, and I do mean the DAY, people rushed to the nearest shoe store (we chose to go to Ravel) to buy sandals. It was like a massive swarm of happy people in the mall....that makes me nervous.
