In my mind this is probably Bicester's best pub. Olde worlde feeling inside with friendly customers and great staff. Good selection of beers and a reasonable amount or garden space. It is the only pub in town with a duke-box and there are a good selection of live bands to suit most tastes. This was the first pub I visited 22yrs ago (when I moved into Bicester) and I still go there now.

A good local pub has a indie/rock feel about the place but all welcome. Some great live music Friday and Saturday’s. A decent pool table too. The Bell has had some good all day charity events raising money for good causes BBQ and live music. Good local pub.

Whilst on holiday in Bicester we discovered The Bell. A proper pub with a juke box that only had Rock Music on it, husband was in his element! Needless to say we did spend some time here. Great live bands both the Friday & Saturday. We will come back if we find ourselves in this area again.

A great spot for those of us who are little more alternatively-inclined (not much radio-friendly music gets played in here). It being formerly known as The Hobgoblin, it stands to reason that the beer of the same name is served in vast quantities here; the only reason I've gone for 4 stars, rather than 5, is because I find myself wishing there were more real ales on tap, but you can't really go wrong with a pint of the 'gob. Give it a try if you fancy your music a little heavier, your beer a little darker, and your friends a little more bearded than average.

It's quite small but it's a great place to listen to local bands. There's always something on though the music isn't for everybody. If you like live music I'd suggest giving this place a try but not if you want to sit and chat, it's very noisy.

Four amigos desperate to escape a smaller town wandered ourselves over to this establishment on the promise of quality beer, sound music and decent service. . . with a smile to boot!

We had a three course meal here, but little did we know that that was not an easy task. After the first course we started wondering if we made the right decision, but we stuck to it and ate our way through. It was all delicious and the staff was so friendly and attentive. We had some good laughs too, and they all made sure we were happy and well fed before closing off the kitchen. A very memorable evening.

Nice local pub. Low ceilings. Atmosphere, to me, of a US Southern dive bar. I half expected a country singer tuning up in the corner. They also have a massive outdoor space that was very chill. Just a fun place to see.

Every time we've been, the food has been absolutely delicious, with friendly staff. The salmon teriyaki is a favourite of mine and tempura prawns. The jatsu curries have been fab too. My husband enjoys the sushi and donburi. We hope to visit again soon.
