A new dessert restaurant is set to open in Headington.

Dessert chain Treatz is expected to open its doors to sweet-toothed customers at the end of March.

The restaurant is located on the site of the old Barclays bank on London Road, which closed in 2020.

This new dessert spot comes as another dessert restaurant is going to open in Summertown.

The brand launched in 2012 and now has restaurants across the country, with this new Oxford restaurant being the latest edition to its roster.

Prior to the restaurant coming to Headington the nearest other Treatz branches are in High Wycombe and Reading.

Signs advertising the brand have been placed on the front of the building while work to transform the bank into a dessert parlour is taking place inside.

A planning application has also been submitted to Oxford City Council for the branch to put up a number of illuminated and non-illuminated signs.
