The OXINABOX Food Awards 2026 have kicked into action! And all 10 categories have now been announced! So you can now vote for them all right here!
We will be celebrating our sixth OXINABOX FOOD AWARDS ceremony at The North Wall on June 29, with a fabulous after party at OXTWO in Summertown, and the famous ‘morning after’ breakfast at Dishoom on June 30 in Oxford.
The top four nominations from each category will be invited to the glittering ceremony where the winners will be announced, so get voting and pick your favourite.
Sponsored by headliners Wise Investment, Jolly Foods, The Oxford Collection and SOMA Collab, as well as Oxford Fine Dining, Grape Minds, Dishoom and Tap Social, the voting has kicked off spectacularly, with a different category released every day.
Here to give Oxfordshire’s hospitality industry a much needed boost, a massive pat on the back and the recognition and attention it deserves after such a difficult year, we have really pushed the boat out. And all we need you to do is vote for your favourites.
These include BEST NEWCOMER, BEST PUB/BAR, BEST CAFE, BEST RESTAURANT, BEST VEGGIE/VEGAN, BEST CHEF, BEST GASTROPUB, BEST INTERNATIONAL, BEST CASUAL DINING and OXFORDSHIRE HOSPITALITY WOMAN OF THE YEAR!
There are 10 categories to vote for and you can vote once in each category. Voting ends mid June. Last year around 40,000 people voted and this year we want to beat our record! All you have to do is click through to vote.
