Branca

We're so looking forward to hosting these Chef's Table events with the Jericho Kitchen Cookery School - starting in January 2019 in our new (and extremely beautiful) restaurant extension!

Second batch of apple and blackberry crumble. Straight from the apple tree / blackberry bush to the saucepan. Entirely organic and extremely yummy!

Paul and the Jericho Kitchen Cookery School have been cooking up (ha ha!) a collaboration to bring you a series of demonstrations starting in January 2019. The hugely talented Yukiko (Gohan Kitchen) will be first at the helm. More information to follow. https://www.facebook.com/Gohankitchenoxfo rd/

These apples have been soaking up the Oxfordshire sunshine all summer and now they're on their way to our kitchens ready to be made into apple and blackberry crumble. We're using three different varieties (two cookers and one eater) for a lovely depth of flavour. Come and try some this weekend!

More proof that Jericho is the grooviest place to live in Oxford....the superb Canal Festival is happening just down the road from Branca on Saturday 8 September - starts midday. Canal themed fun all afternoon and then a Canal Ceilidh at St Barnabas Church in the evening with our lovely friend, Steph Pirrie. www.oxfordcanalheritage.org/festival.

Here's the supremely talented Richard Boxall (Branca's graphic designer ever since we opened) having a chat over a cuppa with Paul. What can they be talking about??! https://www.rbda.co.uk/ #oldfriends

A perfect day for one of our lovely customers/friend of Branca! Our chefs have been busy catering for a wedding party hosted in her stunning garden. #brancaoxford #salads #summerfood #weddingparty #oxfordcatering #yeswecatertoo

It’s going to be another glorious sunny week so take full advantage of our garden terrace. We’ve got some great early dinner deals for £16 and plenty of room for the family now school's out. #restaurantgarden #oxfordrestaurant #dinelocal #bringthefamily

It’s glorious outside! 🌞🌞🌞Come and enjoy the weather in our garden terrace whilst we make the cocktails and the food! We’ll even make sure you don’t get burnt! #alfrescodining #gardenterrace #sunsout #hereforallyourneeds

Our chefs are busy creating salads for the deli today. Spiced aubergine with falafel, quinoa tabbouleh, pomegranate and a yoghurt+tahini dressing! #shoplocal #falafel #spicedaubergine #pomegranate #healthylunch

There's a thriving community spirit in gorgeous Jericho. Last night there was a fundraiser for the Oxford Canal Festival which is coming up later in the year on 8 and 9 September. Steph Pirrie and friends performed some appropriately boat-themed songs which had us all tapping our feet. http://www.oxfordcanalheritage.org/oxford -canal-festival-20… https://www.facebook.com/oxfordcanalfesti val/

Sheila Hancock Q and A at the Phoenix Picturehouse on Friday 18 May.
We just spotted this. It sounds like a great night out (and Branca is handily just across the road for supper before or after!). There will be a screening of her new film, Edie, which follows the journey of an 83 year old woman in her determination to climb a mountain in the Scottish Highlands. This is followed by a Q and A,

It might be grey outside but it’s full of colour in the restaurant... Beautiful screenprints and lithographs up in Branca thanks to Dantzig Gallery in Woodstock. #howardhodgkin #peterblake #terryfrost #dantzig #woodstock #lithograph #screenprint

HURRAH! The first asparagus of the year. Delivered by the lovely Charlie straight from the farm this morning. We’ve got limited stock but you can buy it in the deli or find it on our special boards in the restaurant. We know what we’re having for dinner tonight! #localproduce #englishasparagus #asparagus #shoplocal #deli #handpicked #medleymanorfarm

The gentle hum of conversation and the clatter of knives and forks....lunch time in our garden today. Our garden is lovely but it's going to become even lovelier at the beginning of next week when the hoarding comes down and it's restored to it's usual size. Open all day and evening 11 am to 11 pm.

Love, love, love this photo which The Jericho Kitchen Cookery School snapped this morning of Le Gatineau bread (fresh into our shop this morning, of course!) and shiny, tiny tomatoes from Branca Deli.

Sun is shining in the deli today with a great spread of homemade salads and takeaway tasties! #deli #panzanella #shoplocal #brancafood

School holiday boredom buster ... lunch at Branca (we have a great children's menu) and a walk on delightful Port Meadow which is five minutes walk from us. You might need your wellies though! http://branca.co.uk/…/20…/10/Kids-men u-9.10.2017-website.pdf

It might be officially British Summer Time now but it still feels a bit grim outside. We're rocking the summer vibe at Branca with a rosemary flavoured gimlet made with Cotswolds Gin - if you close your eyes (and try really hard!) you could imagine it's August and the sun is shining.https://www.facebook.com/cotswold sdistillery/ #cotswoldsdistillery

Was there to celebrate my granddaughters graduation. The food was very good and the staff friendly and helpful in every way. Would definitely recommend it.

The most lovely meal, really recommend their Moroccan style salad. The service was swift, friendly and pretty damn fab. A fabulous end to Easter weekend.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. For having a Vegan Menu. It means so much to me and so many other Vegans. I will spread the word far and wide. (My non Vegan friend loved her meal too!) I'll be back ... suggest you advertise it more widely because vegans will come if they know you have a menu for them! :D

Superb Italian food! It was a busy Saturday night, the service was excellent and a great atmosphere.

Such a lovely place and incredible food. Staff were brilliant... Can't wait to come back!

Seafood linguine was amazing, great food, great place and can't wait to go back with the girls xxx

Probably the tastiest and most original dishes in Oxford, always try their Specials!

Lovely staff great food and nice vibe, will definitely be going again

Lovely service, amazing rustic Italian food and nice ambiance. Like the layout of the place and location is perfect. Will be visiting again soon!

Lovely casual Italian style restaurant. Food home made with great ingredients, large portions. Staff very attentive. Loved it x

Great restaurant, we eat here often and have never had cause for complaint or been disappointed. So many great meals enjoyed and the staff are top class, we cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant.

First visit ... wonderfully kind and extra specially helpful staff !

Delicious promptly served food

Would thoroughly recommend!!

Fabulous food and well mannered and enthusiastic service. I chose the Tagliatelle which was great. My wife had the tuna steak which was very well received. We will be back

Brilliantly knowledgeable bar staff. Vegan Beers. Ideal pre-theatre menu.Diverse menu covering all tastes !

Wooden floor creates unnecessary loudness above conversation, but clean and well presented in an informal way !

Stumbled upon this restaurant whilst in Oxford for the day, fantastic food and great service. Highly recommend it.

This was the second time I have been here. It was my xmas work do so I wasn't expecting much, in fact it was very tasty.

You are never going to get portion sizes that fill you up in places like this, frequently the food covers less than 50% of the plate but what there was was tasty.
