Coronavirus – Oxford food & drink deliveries, takeaways & other initiatives

UPDATED 18th May

Please note: many venues are now re-opening! We will keep updating as news comes in.

Further to our messages on social media, we fully appreciate this is an awful time and we would like to do all we can to help. So this post will serve as a rolling list of local food & drink deliveries and/or takeaways, to help those who are self-isolating, as well as other initiatives. We are in the process of moving the list of business offering vouchers to a separate post – stay tuned for that.

Please feel free to tag us or message directly with offers/ideas/schemes that support each other and our community and we will add to this list. Kudos go to Hannah whose original idea this was.

This list will be updated regularly, but for the latest updates please follow us on Instagram, where we will be sharing posts from local businesses as they come in: @bittenoxford. I’ve saved a ‘coronavirus’ featured story section to our Instagram bio for easy access, and a more recent ‘COVID-19 April’ one too.
