Dear Friends,
Arbequina opened in 2016 offering quality food in a relaxed & fun atmosphere. We have been incredibly touched by the support received over the years, recognition from national newspapers and inclusion in the Michelin Guide.
After 9 years we are delighted to announce an opening of a second Arbequina in the historic Covered Market, Oxford - and we need your help!
The new site is at Units 11-15, Avenue 1 of the Covered Market (the old Blue Blood sports shop location) and we are very excited to be opening in such a buzzing, vibrant market, and to be a part of its growth.
In keeping with the current Arbequina style, we will have an aged zinc bar running the length of the restaurant, with an open kitchen creating theatre and atmosphere. The space requires a complete renovation, which will be a lengthy project that is bound to test us on all fronts!
Having saved hard we have £100,000 to start the works and if you can help us to raise an additional £50,000 or more, we can ensure this project comes to fruition, a space for everyone to enjoy!
We have put together a rewards scheme which allows you to purchase meals, benefits & other experiences in exchange for your contribution. People are at the heart of all hospitality, have always played a vital role in our journey, and we would love your support as we continue to grow.
We understand that not everyone is in a position to contribute financially, but would ask you to please share this campaign with as many people as you can.
Many thanks to everyone who has helped us so far, and who will help us in the future!
Ben, Ben & Ru
