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.
