Expect the unexpected at Treadwell. Rooted in Oxford and inspired by the produce of its surrounding countryside, our restaurant plays with British classics and the diverse influences that shape the city. Bold, refreshing, and untraditionally British – it’s Oxford dining, but not as you’ve experienced it before.
UNTRADITIONALLY BRITISH
MENUS AT TREADWELL
Seasonal, local and ingredient-led. Our menus celebrate the best of British produce, with dishes that change throughout the year to reflect what’s in season. On Sundays, alongside our regular menu, you’ll also find a traditional roast served with all the trimmings, followed by desserts that make for a fittingly indulgent finish.
SET MENU
Available Monday to Saturday, 12–3pm and 5.30–6.30pm, our Set Menu is designed for relaxed lunches and early evenings at Treadwell. Shaped by the season and rooted in bold British flavours, it’s an easy way to dine – and pairs beautifully with a performance at the nearby New Theatre Oxford.
Two courses – £26.50
Three courses – £31.50
SUNDAY LUNCH
Sundays at Treadwell are all about relaxed lunches. Alongside our seasonal bites, larger plates, desserts and set menu, you’ll also find a traditional Sunday roast served with crisp roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and rich gravy. Whether you’re joining us for the roast or something from our regular menu, Sundays are the perfect excuse to linger a little longer.

A STEP BACK IN TIME
Treadwell Passage was once a bustling (and somewhat notorious) hub of Oxford. Home to a fishmonger, shoe maker, scavenger, needlewoman and other such characters, it was a boisterous meeting place full of life and variety.
In 1851, it was coined ‘one of Oxford’s greatest nuisances’, due to its debaucherous reputation, which involved a court summons to settle the streets fate. However, in 1912, when Arthur Pearson opened the much-loved Boswell’s department store, the passage was reborn.
Today, it is home to our restaurant, which bears the same name. Playing with local, sustainably sourced produce and the diverse influences which have shaped Oxford, it is as much an homage to the past as it is a bold step forward.
