Some of our favourite restaurants in Oxford with outdoor seating area

Some of our favourite Restaurants in Oxford with outdoor seating area that will open from 12 April.

It has been a while, but alas, we can now start looking forward to a gradual reopening of our much-loved hospitality venues in Oxford and across Oxfordshire.

From 12 April, the Government will enable hospitality businesses to reopen after the coronavirus lockdown to serve customers sitting outside. Indoor dining areas will not reopen until 17 May at the earliest - You'll find a handy roadmap to when lockdown restrictions will be lifted in Oxfordshire.

The City Council is working with restaurants, pubs and cafes in Oxford that do not have outdoor dining areas to reopen – particularly those in and around the city centre – through pedestrianisation and the provision of temporary outdoor seating areas.

However, some restaurants in Oxford are lucky enought to have outdoor seating area that will open from 12 April, or pavements wide enough to accommodate tables and chairs while still allowing pedestrians to maintain social distancing. And here are some of our favourites that fall into this category.

 

 

Two One Five Kitchen & Drinks, Summertown
