Let’s be honest for a moment.
We’ve all been to that event. You know the one — a few limp sausage rolls rolling around a paper plate, the obligatory stack of supermarket quiches, and a beige sea of triangle sandwiches that seem to have lost their will to live sometime before lunch. You eat out of politeness, not pleasure, and wonder quietly if it’s rude to leave early and order Deliveroo.
Now imagine the opposite.
You walk into a space that feels alive. A table overflowing with vibrant colours, fresh produce, local cheeses, artisan crackers, honeycomb that glistens in the light. Strawberries that smell like summer, figs split open like art, charcuterie folded with care, and everything arranged so beautifully it almost feels wrong to touch it — almost. But then you do, and it tastes even better than it looks.
That’s what Oxford Grazing Co brings to your event.
And that, dear reader, is why you need them in your life.
Whether you’re planning a birthday bash in Headington, a corporate soirée in Summertown, a baby shower in Banbury, or even just a luxe picnic on Port Meadow — Oxford Grazing Co doesn’t just show up with food. They show up with a whole vibe.
Here’s why Oxfordshire folk are falling in love with this local gem — and why you’re about to join them.
1. They understand that food is the heart of the party
In Oxfordshire, we’re spoiled for countryside views, historic venues, and charming village halls. But even the most stunning setting can’t carry an event on looks alone. People remember how they felt — and let’s face it, a lot of that comes down to what’s on their plate.
Oxford Grazing Co gets this in a way most caterers simply don’t.

They don’t just feed your guests — they delight them. Every table is a sensory experience: the crunch of a fresh sourdough crostini, the smooth melt of brie, the tang of a perfectly pickled olive, and that unmistakable joy of “wait, what is this? It’s amazing!”
You won’t find cookie-cutter menus here. Everything is thoughtfully curated, seasonal where possible, and presented with the kind of love that says, this matters to us as much as it matters to you.
Whether you’re hosting 10 or 100, Oxford Grazing Co ensures every guest feels like they’ve been treated — not just fed.
2. Local, lovely, and logistically stress-Free
Oxfordshire is a place of proud traditions and local loyalties. We like knowing where our food comes from. We appreciate producers who care. And we adore a small business that not only supports local, but is local.
Oxford Grazing Co ticks all those boxes, with a rustic charm that’s as genuine as it is Instagrammable. They source their cheeses and meats with care, handpick their fruits and florals, and bring a touch of countryside elegance to every table they lay.
But what really sets them apart is the experience they give you as a client. From the moment you send that first message to the final slice of manchego, they’re easy to talk to, professional without being stiff, and genuinely excited about your event.

Planning a gathering can feel like spinning plates while blindfolded, especially if you’ve got dietary needs, last-minute changes, or guests who don’t eat gluten but also don’t like fruit. Oxford Grazing Co handles it all with calm confidence and solutions that actually make sense — not just “sorry, we can’t accommodate that.”
Working with them is the catering version of putting the kettle on and letting someone else sort it. Which, frankly, sounds like the dream.
3. A feast for the eyes and the Instagram feed
Let’s not pretend presentation doesn’t matter. In the age of group chats and candid snaps, everyone’s camera is out before the first bite is taken. And honestly? You want people to notice your spread. Not just because it’s beautiful (though it will be), but because it sets the tone for the whole event.
Oxford Grazing Co tables are the kind of thing people talk about long after the party’s over. Friends ask who you used. Aunties demand to know where the truffle honey came from. Colleagues sneak seconds under the guise of “just grabbing one more grape.”

Whether it’s a luxurious grazing table, a beautifully boxed brunch, or a deluxe afternoon tea platter, everything is styled to perfection — without ever looking overdone or too “try-hard.” It’s natural, elegant, and somehow both rustic and refined. A little like Oxfordshire itself, really.
If you want your event to have that wow-factor without tipping into wedding-singer-cheesy territory, this is exactly how to do it.
4. Perfect for any Occasion that deserves better than soggy sandwiches
One of the best things about Oxford Grazing Co is their flexibility. They’re not limited to one type of event or one sort of setup. They work across weddings, birthdays, hen dos, baby showers, work functions, festive parties — you name it.
Maybe you’re celebrating a milestone birthday at a rented barn near Bicester. Maybe you’re planning a boho engagement picnic in Jericho. Or maybe you just want to spoil a friend who’s had a rough week (and yourself, let’s be honest).
Whatever the occasion, they bring the same energy: thoughtful service, flavour that speaks for itself, and presentation that makes even the most casual brunch feel like an editorial photoshoot.
And if you don’t have a big party planned? They do gorgeous grazing boxes, too. Perfect for date nights, small get-togethers, or even gifting — because nothing says “I love you” quite like a box of triple-cream brie and handmade chutney.
5. Loved by Oxfordshire locals – and their taste buds
If you need a little reassurance (and who doesn’t when planning something important?), just take a stroll through Oxford Grazing Co’s reviews on Google.
The praise isn’t just polite — it’s gushing. These aren’t the kind of “yeah, it was fine” comments people leave to be nice.
These are full-on love letters to cheese boards, enthusiastic thank-yous for seamless service, and glowing words about how guests were still talking about the food days later.
Customers rave about how easy and friendly the communication is, how beautiful the grazing setups look in person (even better than the photos, somehow), and how the food always tastes fresh, thoughtfully chosen, and full of variety.
From brides to business owners to surprise-party planners, one theme comes through again and again: Oxford Grazing Co delivers – in every sense.
One reviewer said the food “looked too good to eat — but once we started, we couldn’t stop.” Another mentioned that their guests thought it had been done by a top London stylist — when in fact, it was all lovingly arranged by a small, local team who just happen to be brilliant at what they do.
In short? People don’t just recommend Oxford Grazing Co – they go out of their way to tell others not to bother looking anywhere else.
And in a world where word-of-mouth still counts for more than any ad ever could, that kind of reputation isn’t just rare. It’s gold dust.

6. It’s not just catering. It’s an experience
Supporting them doesn’t just mean getting incredible food. It means championing a local company that’s putting heart, soul, and a whole lot of cheese into every bite.
Life’s too short for dry vol-au-vents and uninspired buffet trays.
Whether you’re celebrating something big or just making a Tuesday feel special, Oxford Grazing Co brings warmth, wonder, and proper flavour to the table. They care, they deliver, and they make you look effortlessly brilliant to your guests.
So, next time you’re planning an event in Oxfordshire — whether in Cowley or Chipping Norton — give yourself the gift of food that doesn’t just fill the gap, but fills the room with joy.
Oxford Grazing Co. It’s not just catering. It’s an experience. One your guests will remember — and one you’ll be proud to have hosted.
