This is one of the best pubs in Oxfordshire. It is quirky and has a great atmosphere with a wonderful selection of draught beers. We went on Good Friday when they were doing 2 for 1 pizza and it was such delicious food! I have been told their burgers are even better so I will have to stop in again - I look forward to the next visit.

Stayed in Shenington and used the Pub twice. The food is on another level & Sunday lunch is a must, make sure you book. The owner and Chef obviously has an excellent pedigree xxxxx

My partner and I visited on Friday 11th April as we were staying in the area for a couple of days. As soon as we got into the little bar area, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. They let us know there were a couple of larger tables than ours coming in shortly so there may be a wait on food if they ordered first, which was really lovely of them to let us know. It was so refreshing to have been kept updated but without being rushed. The food was INCREDIBLE and there was a great varied selection on the menu. Lovely fresh, high quality ingredients were obviously used. We had our dog with us, who settled immediately as he felt very comfortable. We're already planning on visiting the area again and The Bell will definitely be one place we go back to as it is one of those places that just feels like "home from home". Highly recommend!

We found this little gem after a super long walk with our dog and it was absolutely perfect. We managed to get a seat in front of the fire the beers that they have on tap here are local and really nice. Plus the food was 10 out of 10 and the staff were really nice and accommodating. Just what you need after a big long walk. Would definitely recommend stopping off here if you’re in the the local area!

My friend came down from Marske by the Sea and we needed somewhere for Sunday lunch. The Bell never disappoints so we booked a table. It's definitely a little gem of a place that you almost don't want to tell anyone about. My friend ordered the mixed roast dinner and I had the vegetarian roast dinner with halloumi. It's not currently on the menu, you just have to ask. They were both delicious with all kinds of different roasted vegetables and a giant Yorkshire! My friend said it was the best roast dinner she had eaten in a long time. We then ordered the lemon, plum pudding with custard which tasted amazing. The staff are all lovely with nothing being too much trouble. Definitely recommend!

WOW what an outstanding lunch!!!! My wife and I along with our 2 little dogs had just walked 2miles from the nearby Crofts Barn camp site and were met with a very friendly warm welcome. We had booked a table but were aloud to sit anywhere we wanted. The menus had a good choice and we went for Olive and bread to share, steak for my wife and chicken skewer for me, it all was 5* ++ could not fault anything, The chap behind the bar was attentive, friendly and happy to help, the Chef check in to ensure everything was ok.

Most excellent dinner. Its on special occasions that chef Mikey can show off his real skills. Lovely evening greeted with a glass of fizz by attentive staff. Red rose awaiting on our table. Amuse bouche of Pea and mint Arancini. Homemade foccacia and sourdough bread. Then the main event. Every course was perfectly presented and full of taste, all the ingredients were fresh and complimented each other perfectly. It's not often that you can go out and nor find fault in something, but everything was truly lovely!

As this was a special birthday we thought we would invite 20 friends for dinner at our favourite eating place. Mikey the chef patron who cooks everything from scratch rose to the challenge beautifully. As he has previously worked in Michelin starred kitchens he was able to go up a gear or two without difficulty. We had a fantastic meal and all our guests were so impressed. Money really well spent. Must find an excuse to do it again.

We live in a village close by to Shenington and are avid patrons of many countryside restaurants and pubs in North Oxfordshire. We're not that easy to please either but none of us could find fault with this small, exceedingly appealing pub nestling in the centre of the pretty and very quiet village of Shenington, about ten minutes drive from Banbury. Firstly the bar area itself is of classic country style with a few chairs, tables and even a dart board. There are also several tables outdoors in front of the pub which we will doubtless try next spring. The restaurant section is small and tastefully decorated with pale blue-green wooden panelling and rustic tables. A lovely ambience, in other words. We were initially drawn to this pub because of its menu which seemed to be spot on with seemingly something for all tastes. We ordered whitebait and teriyaki prawns for starters and both were delicious. In fact, for my partner and I, the teriyaki prawns mini casserole was one of the best dishes we've ever tasted. I can't tell you how amazing it was – crunchy prawns, al dente carrots and other tantalising things in a sauce you want to drink straight out of the bowl. Wowsers! For mains we had the chicken kebabs that were recommended by the amazing waitresses. It was a huge plate of sublime indulgence with a large skewer of tenderised char-grilled chicken that must have been marinated in some kind of magical secret ingredient. On the side was a Sriracha-style sauce with high heat clout and scrumptious tang. And taking up a lot of plate space, a circular flatbread piled with homemade red-cabbage coleslaw, a long slice of cucumber and other delicious items I can't recall. To top it off, it came with a dish of skinny fries. The helpings were enormous. A friend, meanwhile, had the katsu chicken burger which he said was very satisfactory. It, too, was huge. Granted, the dessert menu is very small but that didn't bother us because we had no room left for any. Just wish I'd taken some pictures of the food but I'd already eaten it by the time I thought about taking some snaps. Amazingly, the bill turned out to be a lot less than most other pubs we've visited. If you're looking for a truly lovely small country pub with exquisite food, amazing staff, awesome chef and cosy ambience, The Bell is thoroughly recommended. We will be back – many times.

Recommended in the information book of the cottage we stayed in nearby we turned up without booking. The chef informed us that as he had orders for a table of 8 and a table of 4 it would take some time before he could work on our order, this suited us fine and in fact meals were served quicker than we had expected. If we had to wait longer it would still have been worth it as the food was excellent. I had the half rack of ribs which almost covered the plate together with an Asian style salad and separate chips, Mrs had a good serving of scampi with chunky chips. With a couple of good beers and soft drinks, the bill came to around £45 only and well worth it. Very friendly place and good attentive service, highly recommend a visit!

Friends took us to their local pub for Sunday lunch after a long dog walk. They had booked a table for 2.15/2.30pm so a late lunch! You might have been forgiven to think what will be left on the meat side for the roasts but I was pleasantly surprised there was a wide choice of other meals on the menu too. Having said that, the men chose Roast Pork and my friend and I had the haddock and chips. All I can say is that both meals well exceeded expectations. Hard to explain but all I can say is please give this chef a try. He knows how to purchase fresh quality produce and also how to deliver the most sumptuous meal, we just could not fault. So much so, I am taking the time to right this. Just wish we could have food served up to us in this standard where we live. Sadly, we get let down. Lucky Shenington residents! The Bell deserves recognition.

We went to this pub because it was a 30 second walk from our Airbnb but we were so lucky that the proximity was not the biggest perk...! The food was really tasty and the customer service was superb. The icing on the cake (or bun...), however, occurred the day after our visit. We had forgotten to buy burger buns for our grill and since there was no shop within walking distance - we went and asked if we could buy some off the pub. The very likeable Scottish proprietor donated us ten beautiful buns. Excellent establishments on all accounts!

Absolutely fantastic. The food is amazing and the price is very good. The serving staff are friendly and with the outdoor seating because of covid were happy to provide take out containere for dessert and drinks when we got too cold to stay. We will be back when we are in the area next month.

Popped in post covid lockdown. Booking essential, but was easy. The food was excellent both in taste and value. And there is the option for takeaway whilst covid restrictions are in place. We are in the area once a month and will certainly be back.

A Disheartening Departure from Excellence I visited this Deli with high expectations, having previously experienced its beautiful atmosphere, delectable food, and superb service. Unfortunately, my second visit left me utterly disappointed. The food fell far short of the excellence we enjoyed last time, and the service, to put it mildly, was exceptionally unfriendly. Regrettably, I found myself unable to voice my concerns during the meal, as I was with friends whom I respected too much to disrupt our gathering. It's disheartening to witness such a decline in quality, and I must admit that, despite my initial positive experiences, I won't be returning to this establishment. PS: Unfortunately, I do not have any picture of my second visit (

Second visit in the month for dinner in the garden. The food is a bit different with both small and large plates. Very well cooked, presented and served and fresh, light and very nicely presented by extremely friendly staff. We were pleasantly satisfied (in terms of amount) having had a shared starter (crispy pork skins and black garlic mayo), one small plate - salmon and sauce vierge, one large plate - potato dumplings with delicious vegetables and lemon mayo, and two desserts - Bakewell tart with cherry sauce - yum, and cheesecake with apple “crumble” and sorbet EXCELLENT
