Saffron Oak Ventures Ltd invests in growing food and beverage brands and operates them as franchises — opening and running multiple venues across the United Kingdom, and helping each brand grow.
Saffron Oak Ventures Ltd is a privately owned company that invests in growing food and beverage chains and operates them as franchises across the United Kingdom.
Incorporated in England and Wales in 2025 and led by its directors, the company both backs promising food and beverage brands and runs them directly — taking responsibility for opening new sites and for recruitment, training, service standards, supply and daily operations once each venue is trading.
The company operates Japes at Windsor Royal Station, serving Chicago-style and London-style deep-dish pizza — a distinctive offering still uncommon in the UK — and is establishing an Urban Baristas specialty-coffee venue at 44 Cannon Street in the City of London. It intends to continue opening and operating further franchises, helping each brand grow while holding every site to a consistent standard.
Two venues, operated to one standard.
The company recruits across its kitchens, coffee bars and floor teams, and hires for the long term.
As the group grows, attracting and retaining skilled hospitality professionals is central to how it operates. The roles below recur across our venues.
For careers, supplier, property or general enquiries, please contact the company directly.
