Chinese Malaysian

Wonderful Pub
Hidden down a side street in Jericho, one could easily pass by the Rickety Press without ever knowing that it was there. But find your way in through the antique doors and you’re in for a real treat – a bustling little pub filled with Oxford academics and students. The best thing about the Rickety press is their pizza and burger nights, in which you can get amazing quality food for just £5! Amazing, definitely one of the best things to do in Jericho!

Fantastic Cheese
Next on our list of the best things to do in Jericho is a wonderful little cheese shop. Walking past from the outside, the windows of the Jericho Cheese shop are piled high with exciting and rare cheeses. They specialise in English cheese, and deliver and excellent friendly service, in which a master cheesemonger will talk you through the various product and even let you try the cheeses you might like! We recommend the triple cream cheeses for a decadent treat.

Rounding out our list of the best things to do in Jericho is the delightful Port Meadow. The flat fields and wide rivers of the meadow, punctuated by grazing cattle and meandering geese, are like something from a medieval painting. In the summer, Port Meadow is the perfect place to come for a picnic and a wild swim. Lovely stuff.
