About the Business

Originally, this famous, grade two, listed conservatory was built in 1897 for the Gee family who were the leading nurserymen in the area.The cost of building the conservatory and attached storage with a cellar was the princely sum of £800!

In 1982, nearly a hundred years later, Jeremy Mogford bought the lease from the Gee family and the freehold of the building from Oxford University. Planning permission was granted to change the use from fruiterer and greengrocer to restaurant and bar with the addition of a kitchen, storage and an extended basement.

In 2013 Gee's was transformed completely ensuring that the restaurant remains loyal to its traditions of providing quality food & service in the most beautiful restaurant in Oxford.The new interior is filled with trees and plants and the kitchen now features a wood fire oven and charcoal grill.

The light airy restaurant and bar with its comfortable, contemporary atmosphere is surrounded by a beautiful tree lined outside terrace,

Established in 1983.
