Archive photographs show Oxfordshire's kebab van scene from 2004 to 2014.
The Oxford Mail has published a gallery of nostalgic photographs showing Oxfordshire's kebab van culture from 2004 to 2014. The archive images feature kebab owners and customers from that era, capturing a period when kebab vans formed part of Oxford's night-time economy and dining scene.
The retrospective comes as five Oxfordshire businesses have been shortlisted as finalists in the British Kebab Awards 2026. The nominees include two establishments in Banbury, one in Chipping Norton, one in Grove and one in Oxford. One kebab shop featured in the archive, Bodrum Kebab on Cowley Road in Oxford, previously received national recognition for its food.
The photographs document long-standing restaurants and vans that became established parts of the local dining landscape, serving customers on night-time outings and at dinner time.
