Details
Tucked away at 51 High Street, you'll find The Rose, a charming, contemporary tearoom housed in a mock-Tudor building that forms part of St Edmund Hall's Besse Building, dating back to 1900/1. This cosy spot is renowned for its freshly baked scones, which are made on the premises every few hours and have contributed to its reputation for serving one of the best cream teas in Oxford. Beyond the quintessential afternoon tea, The Rose offers a wide variety of high-quality leaf teas, considered by some to be an unsurpassed range in the city. Early risers can delight in breakfasts featuring locally sourced, free-range eggs from a nearby farm, perhaps opting for the popular avocado, salmon, and poached egg on sourdough toast. The commitment to quality extends to their meat, which is also sourced from local butchers.
The Rose provides a warm and relaxing environment, perfect for a respite after a day of exploring Oxford. Throughout the day, the menu evolves to include European dishes, homemade cakes, and pastries. Lunch options range from freshly made sandwiches with numerous fillings to an ever-changing menu that might feature warm chicken salads or homemade fishcakes. For those seeking heartier meals, choices like burgers (both beef and vegan) and various risottos are available. The focus on in-house preparation and local produce is central to their philosophy, ensuring fresh and flavourful offerings, including a selection of vegan choices across the menu. Whether you're after a full English breakfast, a light lunch, or simply a delightful cake and a perfect cup of tea, The Rose aims to provide a memorable experience.
