The Bell

You'll find The Bell tucked away on Middleton Road, the kind of place that feels like it's been there forever—because it probably has. It's where Banbury locals actually drink: no gimmicks, no craft cocktail nonsense, just good beer, proper pub food, and the sort of atmosphere where regulars have their spots at the bar. The reviews speak for themselves (4.6 stars from over 400 people), and that's because they've nailed the basics. Whether you're after a quiet pint or something to eat, this is the real deal.
