    Cherwell Collective helps the community cut carbon footprints through education and outreach. They reduce waste and help disadvantaged individuals. All are welcome at their Climatarian Kitchen, which offers fresh, hot meals, made with food that would otherwise be headed for landfill. At the same time, stock up on your own waste-saving ingredients at their food surplus market. These are both operated on a pay-what-you-can basis, so they're affordable for all. What's more, proceeds from the sales support Cherwell Collective's work tackling food poverty in the community (eg through the Cherwell Larder) - so you can enjoy great food knowing that it's 'giving back' to people and planet in more ways than one.

    Formosan is an independent business established in Oxford in 2012 by a local Taiwanese entrepreneur. Being the first and only tea bar of its kind, we revive the former glory of healthy, authentic bubble tea. We carefully source all of our tea leaves directly from THE world’s best tea-farming regions, in Taiwan. Based on the Chinese tea ceremony developed over thousands of years, we’ve adopted a meticulous brewing process to bring out a finely balanced taste. This allows you to enjoy our teas just on their own, or shaken, with a choice of fresh organic milk, finest honey or fresh lemon juice. Delivery available through Deliveroo.
