Open Oxford Businesses – Deliveries, Takeaways & Online

Indies are the cornerstones of our communities, and without them our neighbourhoods would be a far less social and enriching place to live. Covid-19 is having a detrimental effect on these businesses and how they run, however one of the awesome things about great local businesses is that they can adjust their offer very quickly. Many Oxford restaurants, cafes and bars are offering gift vouchers to spend later, while a whole host of businesses are offering local contactless delivery.

We’ve put together a list of what indies are currently offering, so we can support the local businesses we love through the lockdown. >>
