There’s something undeniably comforting about a Sunday roast, and at Treadwell Restaurant in Oxford, it’s elevated to an art form. Tucked away in Treadwell Passage \u2014 a little slice of Oxford history \u2014 this stylish eatery inside The Store Hotel has quickly become the go-to spot for locals and visitors craving a hearty, lovingly prepared meal.<\/p>\n

Sundays at Treadwell are all about the roast. Whether you’re tempted by the slow-cooked beef with horseradish cream, the roast chicken with golden potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, or the tarragon & lemon cauliflower steak for a lighter, plant-forward option, every dish comes with the trimmings you expect \u2014 honey-glazed carrots, seasonal greens, and rich gravy that tastes like it was simmered all day. I opted for the chicken roast, and it was nothing short of delicious: tender, juicy, with perfectly crisp skin, paired beautifully with buttery potatoes and pudding.<\/p>\n

The menu kicks off with starters that set a high bar. From crispy polenta to crab arancini, each dish is thoughtfully executed and full of flavour. And don’t even think about skipping pudding \u2014 the sweet finish is well worth the indulgence. Treats like sticky toffee pudding with whisky sauce, spiced plum crumble, and house-made ice creams make it impossible to resist ordering one (or two).<\/p>\n

Part of what makes Treadwell so special isn’t just the food, but its location and history. Treadwell Passage was once a bustling \u2014 and notoriously lively \u2014 hub of Oxford life. Back in the 19th century, it was home to a fishmonger, shoemaker, scavenger, needlewoman, and countless other characters. In 1851, it was famously called “one of Oxford’s greatest nuisances” due to its rowdy reputation, complete with a court summons to settle the streets’ fate. By 1912, the passage had been reborn with the opening of Boswell’s department store, giving it a fresh lease on life. Today, Treadwell Restaurant pays homage to this colourful past while embracing modernity and sustainability.<\/p>\n

The d\u00e9cor in Treadwell perfectly reflects this ethos: modern, stylish, and effortlessly photogenic. Warm lighting, elegant furniture, and carefully curated details make it a welcoming space, whether you’re enjoying a casual lunch or a celebratory meal.<\/p>\n

Treadwell also celebrates the rich diversity of Oxford, sourcing local ingredients and weaving influences from across the city and beyond into every dish. There’s a sense of thoughtful creativity, balanced with respect for tradition \u2014 a nod to the past without losing sight of the present.<\/p>\n

A Sunday at Treadwell feels like a treat without being pretentious. Whether you’re a long-time Oxford resident or a visitor exploring the city’s historic streets, it’s the kind of meal that leaves you full, satisfied, and already planning your next visit.<\/p>\n

So, if your Sunday calls for comfort, quality, and a little slice of Oxford history on the side, make your way to Treadwell Restaurant \u2014 where the roasts are legendary, the puddings are irresistible, and every dish tells a story.<\/p>\n
