I get a sandwich here nearly every day. The staff are always friendly and the food is fresh. The prices are very reasonable too. I go early and eat my sandwich later to avoid queues (as obviously it’s really busy/popular at lunchtimes)!

Popped in to grab a quick lunch as was picking something else up from the parade. Had a chicken mayo baguette which was rock hard (I could have hammered in nails with it), minimal filling and the worst part was grit in the salad. I couldn’t eat it. I expect better for £5.40. A real shame as had great lunches from a number of Taylor’s around Oxford.

Had to go back for photos cos the soup was so good. Sri Lankan Vegetable soup, thick, tasty and we were just in time. Really great place for a quick bite.

Tayors is an absolute institution in Oxford and the team at this particular Taylors are fantastic. Always smiling, always chatting and consistently delivering excellent service. I've been coming to this Taylors for 3 years at least once a week and will continue to do so for a long time yet. Particularly want to call out, Emma, Phoebe, Willow, you guys are the best!
