Hi,

I'm after a pair of Oxfords or similar £100-150 they must be comfortable and not have corrected grain.

The following have been mentioned above:

Sanders
Alfred Sargent
Samuel Windsor (which I am a bit hesitant about)
Loake 1880

I don't know anything about Samuel Windsor or much about Sanders but I think Loake 1880 might be your best bet. They have raised their price since then to about £160 and Alfred Sargent has now raised their prices for their entry level line to well over £200. I might also suggest Barker specifically their Professional range which has some nice models around £150.

Thanks - Yes having had a chat with a shoe shop it seems that having struggled through the recession Alfred Sargent have now decided to go more expensive and have cut all their previous entry-level shoes. Though Pediwear still stock: https://www.pediwear.co.uk/sargent/ranges/78.php

You're welcome. Yes Alfred Sargent has taken the brand in a new, up-market direction to compete directly with Crockett & Jones and Church's but it's a shame they have stopped producing their more affordable models.
You might want to take a look at the new Barker store on Jermyn Street but it only has their good stuff such as the Handcrafted and Anniversary lines but they might have some shoes on discount.

I'm not affiliated with them but I have bought from them. They are based in England and sell shoes bought from the Northamptonshire factory stores for very good prices. I have bought Crockett & Jones seconds from them before with no issues in quality.
