WE’RE NOT CALLED THE ‘COFFEE’ SHED FOR NOTHING…

Crazy about the dark, bittersweet beverage that's captivated the world since the 15th century? So are we! Perfect for every mood & season, we wanted coffee to play a key part in our café.

Each of our baristas is a signed-up coffee lover, and knows exactly how to get the good stuff from the beans to your mug. Feel free to ask their opinion or make a specific request so you can drink it how you like it!

If you are interested in bringing home your own bag of Coffee Shed beans, they are available to buy online or over the counter for only £6.50 per 250g bag. Want to make your own brew or give someone a special gift… stock up now!

THE OXFORD COFFEE COMPANY

25 years of experience in the coffee business, a dedication to finding the finest beans from around world and 100% ethical sourcing are just three of the reasons we chose The Oxford Coffee Company to be our supplier.

At The Coffee Shed, we offer a blend of Arabica and Robusta quality beans - nutty and hazelnut body from the Arabica, complemented with acidity from the Robusta.

Our decaf espresso is 100% Arabica which retains all the characteristics and flavour of a traditional espresso with none of the caffeine.

LOCALLY PRODUCED MEATS

All our meat and poultry menu items - including bacon, chicken, sausages and ham - are provided by Denshams, a local family-run butchers in the heart of West Oxfordshire. We are pleased to serve you top quality local meats and produce from this traditional butchers, previous winners of the best British sausage in the South East!

By ordering one of our signature English breakfasts or scrambled eggs on toast, you’re helping to support a local business, reducing the environmental impact of food production. Eat well, do good, feel great!

FREE RANGE EGGS

Our free range eggs come from Mayfield Farm, based right here in Witney. Mayfield Farm is a member of the ‘Laid in Britain’ assurance scheme, meaning they uphold the highest standards of food safety and bird welfare. The farm is partnered with the UK’s leading poultry feed suppliers, who provide their hens with high quality, hormone-free diets and regular health reviews.
