Generously filled baguettes and freshly made sandwiches have long been a lunchtime staple at The Oxford Sandwich Company, tucked away in the historic Covered Market. For years, locals and visitors alike have queued for their well-priced and satisfying creations, with a wide menu of hot and cold options, including popular paninis like the turkey, mozzarella, and garlic butter. It’s known as a spot for a good quality, unfussy meal, with some recalling it as their first Oxford sandwich experience decades ago, still returning for favourites like the tuna niçoise bap. The friendly staff and a sense of community, reportedly sourcing ingredients from other market traders, add to its enduring appeal.
Situated within the bustling aisles of the Covered Market, a landmark that has served Oxford since 1774, The Oxford Sandwich Company is part of a vibrant hub of around 60 independent local businesses. The market itself offers a unique atmosphere, a rabbit warren-like mall with a rich history, originally established to clear street traders and now housing everything from butchers and greengrocers to artisan crafts and diverse eateries. After grabbing a bite, visitors can explore stalls selling fresh produce, gourmet cheeses, handmade cakes, and much more, making it a true taste of Oxford's local commerce and community spirit.
