St Edmund Hall has officially opened its new Chough Café welcoming both Hall members and the wider public. Situated next to the 12th century Library, the café occupies a converted gardener’s office, offering a historic and relaxed setting.

Available at the café is a range of freshly baked cakes made by the College’s talented pastry chefs as well as locally sourced barista-made coffee from Jericho Coffee Traders. Hall members can enjoy a 25% discount and all visitors will receive 15p off their drink when they bring a reusable cup.

The Chough Café is accessible via the entrance to St Edmund Hall on Queen’s Lane, just off Oxford’s high street. Its opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, and it is also open at weekends during the summer vacation. For updates and opening hours, follow the café on Instagram: @sehchoughcafe.
