* Continuing to serve their American-style dishes with a complimentary topping of retro pop culture, Atomic Burger’s new special is inspired by a certain fool-pitying character from The A Team.

‘The Amazing Mr T’ is a burger that comes with BBQ pulled pork, meatballs, bacon, American cheese and your choice of a side dish, the likes of which include chilli-dusted ‘sci-fries’ and legendary beer battered onion rings. Booking is essential at this unique Cowley Road restaurant – call 01865 790855.

* With Father’s Day taking place on June 16, Carluccio’s are prepping to please dads the proper way. Their ‘Festa Del Papa’ offers include a wine and salami hamper fit for a king – at £21.95 lucky dads can wash down some delicious Brianzolino salami with an intensely rich Dolcetto D’Alba red wine – sharing optional, of course.

Smaller but equally scrumptious treats include Carluccio’s dark chocolate truffles (£9.95) and an aged Balsamic Vinegar from Modena (£19.95), for those dads of a kitchen-dwelling disposition. Check out all these and more in the Carluccio’s at Bicester Village, or book a table by calling 01869 247651.

* Las Iguanas continue to run their popular cocktail masterclasses from their restaurant in Park End Street. Great for socials and birthday parties, you can learn to make the big four Latin American cocktails (Mojito, Daiquiri, Margarita and Caipirinha, pictured) under the supervision of an expert bartender in these two-hour sessions.

The cost is £25 per person, and parties must be a minimum of six people of 18 or over. Call 01865 263150 to book. lIf you’re of a crustacean persuasion, get down to Browns on Woodstock Road – their lobster nights every Thursday serve the gold standard, from tantalising Lobster Thermidor (£17) and Lobster Frites (£20) to the full on Surf and Turf, accompanied with a 6oz chargrilled bavette steak (£25). Seafood seekers looking for something a bit more decadent will do no better. Call 01865 511995 to book.
