BREAKING NEWS! THE OXINABOX FOOD AWARDS FINALISTS ARE IN! Nearly 40,000 votes later, here are the incredible hospitality businesses that you voted through to the finals! The OXINABOX FOOD AWARDS 2026 are being held on June 29 @thenorthwall at a dazzling black tie event followed by an after party @ox_two_ You voted in 10 categories and the five finalists from each will be invited. The voting was incredibly close, so two categories had a tie break and have six finalists. The winners of each category will then be announced on stage on the night. None of this would have happened without our incredible sponsors who have come together to make sure Oxfordshire’s incredible hospitality industry gets a night to remember during such difficult times, and we can’t thank them enough. They have gone above and beyond this year so our thanks go to: @wiseinvestmentltd @jolly_foodsoxfordshire @the.oxford.collection @somacollab @oxfordfinedining @hundredhillswine @grapemindsoxfordshire @tapsocialmovement @dishoompermitroom Further details will be sent to all the finalists but we can only tag 20 people on the post.

REVIEW: We love @kinghamplough especially on a sunny lunchtime with @ashleighfarrand in the kitchens. It was too hot for big mains so we stuck to the sharing plates and feasted like gods. Check out our lunch!!! Full review at oxinabox.co.uk. Link in bio 🔗. #cotswolds #cotswoldpub #oxfordfoodie #oxfordfood #kingham by @oxinabox_

EXCITING NEWS! @canteen.cotswolds has opened in @the_old_coal_yard in #gagingwell near #enstone. The Italian pop up concentrates on seasonality and ingredients so the menu changes weekly and the sharing style menu is irresistible. Based on @canteen.310 in London, it’s brought to you from the guys behind @thebullcharlbury Put it this way, we’ve already booked to go back. There is @chloespilates on site and a new sauna, plunge and hot tub opening in the next few weeks. Read our full review at oxinabox.co.uk. Link in bio 🔗. #popup #cotswolds #italian by @oxinabox_
