1981 - 2017

The Hi-Lo Jamaican Eating House at 68-70 Cowley Road has become a local institution since it opened in 1981.

Proprietor Hugh "Andy" Anderson is often seen sitting on his chair outside. He was once dubbed 'David Cameron's Rasta Friend' by the Daily Mail. .

From 2005–6, journalist Laurie Penny was a barmaid here.

Hi-Lo used to be, along with the Half Moon on the plain, one of the few places where one could get a drink after bedtime in East Oxford.
