- The gardeners arms is a restaurant/pub with a garden in Jericho.
- Manos is a Greek restaurant (with take-away food) in Jericho, with good and cheap food. The mousaka is sold in clay dishes of good quality, that can be reused.
Coffee
- Common ground cafe workspace is my favorite coffee place. It is on little clarendon street (close to Jericho), they sell black coffee for 2 pounds and have some tables outside. I also buy some ground coffee here, which is ground from beans in from of you, so it is a very fresh.

Other Resources
- Odd Box is a delivery service of odd vegetables and fruits. It works at national scale, but it still claims to save some CO2 emissions, which can be right, since the transport is a small part of the food production emissions. Still I would prefer to have a local actor that do this job with several pickup places in Oxford. In the case such alternatives do not exist and if the food quality and quantity is alright, I may subscribe.
