Taylors Botley — Restaurant in Vale of White Horse

I’ve been working in the area for a while now the local FedEx Guy almost 5 years and I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Botley Taylor's Deli regularly. Over time, I’ve seen many faces come and go, but one thing has remained constant—the incredible quality of the food and the consistently positive, friendly staff. The sandwiches are always fresh and bursting with flavor, and the baguettes are perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft, warm interior. Whether I’m grabbing a quick bite for lunch or something to take away, I can always count on a satisfying meal. Their coffee is rich and smooth, and the smoothies are the perfect refreshing treat to brighten up the day. But what really makes this place stand out is the staff. They’ve always been welcoming, talkative, and genuinely helpful, making each visit feel like a personal experience. It’s clear that they enjoy what they do and care about making sure every customer leaves happy. Over the time I’ve been coming here I’ve seen some faces come and go like Elizabeth and Alfred...but the positive energy and excellent service have never changed. Botley Taylor's Deli is definitely a gem in the area!

5 years ago my first visit to Taylors. Julie ( Who has earned her retirement ) was like the mum of the deli — warm, caring, and always ready to lend a hand. She knew exactly how to make customers feel special, taking the time to recommend the best options and make sure everyone leaves with a smile. Julie’s kindness and attention to detail made the deli feel like a welcoming, homely place, back then she was the heart of the team !.

Seeing Emma when I visit the deli—her positivity and friendly attitude really make the experience stand out. She’s always welcoming, with a smile on her face, and goes out of her way to make sure everything is just right. Whether it's offering great recommendations or just striking up a friendly chat, Emma's warm and helpful nature creates such a pleasant atmosphere. It's clear she truly cares about her customers, and it makes all the difference!

Phoebe is an absolute gem with her whit at the deli! Her smile is as fresh as the sandwiches she makes, and she always knows how to recommend the perfect combination of ingredients. Quick, friendly, and full of energy, Phoebe makes every visit feel like a little bit of sunshine. Whether she’s slicing meats or cracking a joke, she brings a whole lot of personality to the counter.

Nicole is the legend of the deli ! While makes the time sweet crafting the perfect sandwich or making a mocha, it's always worth her purchase. With a cheeky smile and a knack for making every order feel like a masterpiece. Nicole's calm vibe brings a bit of extra flavour to the day Taylor's wins the race.

Definitely the worst Taylors. Never have any sandwiches on Display, when asked last week why at 2pm on a Saturday they don’t have any stock, reply was “because it’s Sunday tomorrow”. Incredible. Popped in today, granted later on in the day (15:45), they had completely run out of everything sandwich wise, when we asked why, their reply was, “it must be our location”. Poorly managed shop. The one in town at the end of Little Clarendon Street is on a whole different level to this Taylors. Avoid like the plague. Head office get some decent management in this store. There is no excuse not to have so little of the menu on display, simple stock management and shelf-life understanding is all that is required. Sort it out. You are literally turning away customers to what I presume is a risk of wastage. Prep sheets...

I attended Botley Taylor’s, I am dealing with chemo and my cancer, I really fancied a panini, but they couldn’t make me one up, they could make me a baguette but not a panini that I could eat, I am not allowed Brie, so bacon were out of my choice, they mixed Tuna with mustard Mayo, mustard not everyone’s choice, always used and feel sad in exceptional circumstances, they could not make me one very poor service no empathy really disappointed, at these times you did not believe my custom will not use again, they could see I was going through cancer treatment, maybe not of training required...
