Dear Visitor,
We Have Some Big News! | To All Our Customers, Thank You! | Oxford Club Loyalty Points | One Last Special Dinner – Sunday 22 November | Sunday Star-Times!
We have some big news! After almost 14 years, The Oxford has sold!
It's time for us to hand over The Oxford to new owners and managers, Mady and Vish, who share our passion for hospitality and are excited to make Timaru their home. But don't worry, The Oxford you know and love isn't going anywhere!
Mady and Vish are looking forward to getting to know you all and build on what we've created together. You'll still see the same familiar faces, enjoy great food and receive the warm welcome you have come to expect.
Mady will be joining the front-of-house team, while Vish will be working alongside our chefs. They bring great skills, fresh energy and a real enthusiasm for the future of The Oxford.
To all our customers, thank you!
Your loyalty, friendship and support over the years have meant so much to us. Some of you have been coming since day one, and we've been lucky enough to share so many birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, celebrations and everyday moments with you.
We're incredibly proud of what we've built together with our team, and we're happy knowing The Oxford is in great hands. We hope you'll continue to show Mady, Vish and our wonderful team the same support you've given us.
As for us, we're not leaving Timaru! South Canterbury is home, and we feel very lucky to be raising our family here (who, we might add, are now 11 and 9 years old!).
We're not quite sure what our next chapter looks like, but one thing is certain, we're really looking forward to our very first summer holidays off with the kids!
The official change of ownership is 1 December, although you'll still see us around helping with the handover until Christmas Eve.
If you're passing by over the next few weeks, please pop in and say hello. We'd love the chance to thank you in person before we hand over the keys.
So, this isn't goodbye. It's simply a new chapter for The Oxford, and we're excited to see it continue to be part of Timaru for many years to come.
With happy tears, heartfelt thanks and warm wishes,
Michael & Clarissa
Oxford Club Loyalty Points
With the change of ownership, all existing Oxford Club loyalty points will expire on 30 November.
We don't want you to miss out on using the points you've earned, so please make sure you redeem them before then.
We're expecting a busy few weeks, so encourage you to book ahead, including for lunch and brunch. Mady and Vish are planning to introduce their own loyalty programme in the new year.
Valid Oxford Vouchers will still be accepted after the sale.
One Last Special Dinner
Sunday 22nd November
Before we hand over the keys, we're hosting one last special dinner! We are putting together an ALL STARS menu. Five of our most popular dishes matched with a wine or beer. There will be some fierce debate here about the dishes, but we are almost certain they will have to include the Duck Wontons and Venison. A few old favourites too.
Sunday 22 November
6pm | Five courses + drink match | $125 per person
We'd love to see you there!
Call us on 03 688 3297 to reserve your place – limited!
Sunday Star-Times!
A little while ago, we were interviewed by the Sunday Star-Times, and what a lovely compliment it was to be asked to share our story!
We’re incredibly proud to have our journey, our wonderful team and the success of The Oxford recognised and shared.
At the time of the interview, The Oxford hadn’t yet sold, but things moved rather quickly between the interview and going to print! The timing may not have been quite what we’d planned, but that doesn’t take away from how special this acknowledgement is for us and the people that have worked with us past and present.
A lovely way to celebrate our time at The Oxford and a wonderful memento for us to keep!
