An Oxford café has been nominated for a national award.
Society Café on St Michael's Street has been nominated for ‘The Best Coffee Shop’ category at the British QSR Franchise Awards.
The brand was originally founded in 2011 in Bath by owners Jane and Adrian with the aim of being a beautiful and friendly coffee shop serving hard-to-find coffee.
Now with a total of six stores across the south, Society is becoming a recognisable brand with the Oxford branch now up for the national gong.

The British QSR Franchise Awards will be a premier event celebrating the finest in food brands and franchisees across the UK.
In its first year, it offers a platform for participants from all over the country to vie for top honours.
A spokesperson for the event said: “Research shows that in 2024 there were 48,000 franchise businesses operating across the UK which help contribute billions to the UK economy.
“Franchises have proven to be a great opportunity for up-and-coming entrepreneurs as one in five franchises launched in the UK were set up by investors under the age of 30.
“Their mission is to bridge the gap between restaurant owners, franchise seekers, and industry experts, providing everyone with a platform to connect, learn, and grow together.
