Alongside a dining area, the venue will feature a VIP room that people can book for meetings and a garden space at the back of the unit.

Owner Kate Washburn told the Oxford Mail this is her first venture into the hospitality trade and she wanted to open the business because she felt it was missing in Summertown.

She initially planned to open up the restaurant two years ago but the Covid-19 pandemic delayed her plans.

She wants the space to be somewhere “fun and nice” which will suit a variety of people, such as families with young children, adults in the evenings and groups of friends.
