The owners of Oxford’s Gees Bar and Restaurant have announced a business refurbishment and investment of £1million.

The restaurant is located in a Grade II listed Victorian Glasshouse first built in 1897.

Gees’ owners have secured the building next door in order to expand the business with the creation of a new 'Gees Gallery and Secret Garden.'

The expansion will double capacity at Gees to over 220 customers.

Jeremy Mogford, founder of The Oxford Collection, of which Gees is a subsidiary, said: "We are investing over one million pounds in creating a very special and unique destination within Oxford.

“We are bringing Gees cooking facilities into the 21st century with the latest equipment, along with much-improved working conditions for our chefs. I would also like to say that we are making a huge, post covid declaration of faith in the wonderful potential of our city.”
