  • Central
    Coffee shop
    In the beginning James and Lizzie served coffee on the Magdalen Bridge in Oxford, and later in the Radcliffe Camera Square. Soon after came farmer’s markets, college balls and events. Being a part of the Oxford community was, and still is, a huge part of the Jericho business. When the opportunity arose to move into a pop-up café off of Oxford High Street, James and Lizzie purchased their own roaster to enable them to roast their own coffee beans for the café. Now, Jericho Coffee Traders proudly serves customers from their flagship espresso bar on Oxford’s high street.

    Set on a beautiful village green you can either stay in a room above the inn, which are cosy and full of charm or choose a quieter courtyard room (set back from the inn) which have a hint more luxury and are more spacious. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, flat screen TV, Wi Fi and tea and coffee making facilities. We always try to use as much free-range, organic and local produce as we possibly can when making our dishes. Our beef, which is Aberdeen Angus, is sourced locally from the family farm in Fifield. Our fish is delivered daily from Cornwall and all our smoked food is from Upton Smokery in Burford.
