Our Woodstock Road Shop celebrated its 5th birthday recently. To mark and celebrate this occasion, and, to say a big thank you to all of you who visit us, we are going to be running a hot drink give away hour on Friday November 27th. All hot drinks are free of charge between 7am and 8am. No strings attached.
Pop in, have any hot drink on us and enjoy your last Friday of November.
See you all then!

Taylors Hampers are available all year round, but at Christmas time, are even more popular.
Everyone loves to receive a hamper and, with the huge selection of carefully selected products available at Taylors, there is sure to be something to suit all tastes.
A selection of readymade Hampers, ranging in price from £20 – £100, will be available in store from mid-November onwards. Or, if you prefer, you can create your own Bespoke Hamper. Simply select your tray size or wicker basket and fill with the products of your choice.
Trays come in 3 sizes – small (£6-50), medium (£11) and large (£16). Wicker baskets range from £20 – £45. The price includes the making up of your tray or basket into a stunning, gift-wrapped hamper. Add to this the cost of the products you choose for your overall price. Alternatively, tell us how much you wish to spend and we will create a hamper for you.
Hampers can be made for you either while you wait (depending how busy the store is) or for you to collect at a later time convenient to you. Multiple orders would require a little more notice.
Christmas season in nearly upon us and we have started the exciting transformation in some of our shops which see us become a hub for Christmas shoppers across Oxford. We have new £25 gift vouchers which can be bought in stores which sell Christmas goodies and our £5 and £10 vouchers are available across all our stores. Bulk orders for vouchers can be made via catering@taylorsoxford.co.uk
Taylors donated a giant (2.5kg!) chocolate Easter egg, handmade by James Chocolates, to the Oxford Children’s Hospital.
Beverley Copson delivered the egg to Kamran’s Ward where it was very enthusiastically received.
Customers at Taylors St Giles also gave donations to a collection tin that Taylors then matched, so along with the egg, was a cheque for £133-70.
Thank you to all who donated.
Christmas is a wonderful time of year to have a large family gathering and spend time with loved ones, but also an excellent excuse to tuck into the lovely festive food!
While Christmas is a joyous occasion for all, it can be a challenge to host a house full of guests from an organisational standpoint – not least when it comes to food. The task of overseeing Christmas dinner alone can be taxing enough, but managing to cater for a large number of people over the whole festive period can be an incredibly thankless endeavour. Luckily Taylors can help!
There’s nothing like a tasty picnic in a beautiful setting. Luckily, Oxford offers a number of amazing spaces in which to enjoy your lunch – or supper – in the English sunshine. As well as Oxford’s world famous spires and stunning architecture, the city offers some gorgeous scenery; woodland, parks, rivers, and more.
Making the most of the outdoors is key to getting the full Oxford experience, and in this article we look at five of the best spots for picnics in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Whether you live in Oxford, or are visiting from further afield, you will certainly enjoy these spaces!
One of the more famous outdoor spaces in Oxford, Christ Church Meadow is situated to the South of the City Centre, near the Christ Church College and the Cathedral Church. Christ Church is one of the biggest colleges in Oxford University, and has many notable alumni, including Rowan Williams, Richard Curtis, and William Gladstone. These individuals will have spent many a sunny afternoon strolling the meadow, taking in the tranquility of their surroundings and enjoying the fields surrounded by rivers Cherwell and Thames.
You can get your picnic from the nearest Taylors on the High Street. Call 01865 723152 for more information.

It’s that time of year again, or at least it soon will be! The sun is starting to burn through the cold and thoughts will soon start turning toward lazy outdoor lunch hours and picnics by the Cherwell. Well, that being the case, have we got some great surprises in our Gourmet Picnics & Lazy lunch hours.
Forget the humble cheese and pickle sandwich and come into one of our shops and we’ll make you up anything from a great value, nourishing, gourmet sandwich to a gourmet picnic. We’ve two shops on The High so we’re perfectly situated for meandering down to Christchurch Meadow or Magdalen Bridge.
That said, there are Taylors gourmet sandwich shops all over Oxford who’ll be able to provide this service for you – St.Giles, Woodstock Road, Summertown, Gloucester Green and Botley – and they’re ready to take your order!
We can also make Easter Hampers – a great gift idea if you are off to visit family or friends. Available from Taylors St Giles, Summertown or Botley.
Our delicious range of Easter Cakes & Chocolates are now in store – lots of ideas for gifts and egg hunts. Available from Taylors St Giles, Summertown or Botley.
The range includes traditional Italian Easter cake – the Colomba, or Dove, which is baked in the shape of a dove in order to signify peace and renewal. The Seggiano Colomba cake is made with fresh free range eggs, flavoured with candied orange peel, leavened using a mother yeast and topped with almonds. Also, it uses absolutely none of the usual industrial baking aids. It’s baked in small batches of just 82 per day, so this is the next best thing to homemade that you’ll find on a shelf. The Colomba is available in Taylors St Giles, Summertown or FastaPasta (in The Covered Market).
