The best restaurants in Banbury Calthorpe Cherwell South East

Sainsbury's is a big super market.on the main oxford road in banbury. Selling all sorts of products from flowers vegetable meats groceries clothes household products and many other items all under the same roof .. Then before it after shopping they have a lovely big restaurant upstairs. There is a lift and disabled toilet up stairs .there is a toilet downstairs with hairdressers next door. But not visited them so I can comment. Going back to the restaurant. I have food allergies and the staff were very good checking out each item I wanted to make sure it was ok for me to have..they open mon.to sat .7.30a.m to 10pm sun 10am to 4pm. Menu is very wide and varied .from breakfast .mid day meal to tea or evening meal.. Prices are very good. vegetarians etc All catered for .. With petrol station in there large car park All lovely and clean inside building and outside.. If I have missed anything out I apologise.

Looking for a quick dinner so we went to the Chinese takeaway, called in shortly after opening and the phone was ringing non-stop to me that's normally a good sign. Placed our order and was told it'll be 35mins. About 35mins later ours was called out to collect. The meal ordered was for 2 of us and there was plenty, we had ordered egg fried rice which was ok for me maybe more egg was needed, crispy beef salt and pepper which can be over cooked this was spot on, duck in plum sauce the duck was to died for but lacked with enough plum sauce and finally BBQ spare ribs plenty of sauce but the meat didn't fall off the bone. So overall it fed us, so would I go back again I maybe would because the duck was cooked superbly.

Pubs good as this are difficult to find. Food was very tasty, hot and fresh. The blue cheese on potatoes was simply perfect. Delicious deserts and very, very good latte. Managed to get cranberry juice and green tea - a sign of fine offerings! Staff was very helpful and polite too. Would certainly come back if in the area.

Best chippy in Banburyshire in my opinion (and I have certainly been to a few). The staff are very polite and efficient and the food is ALWAYS delicious.

I went into the Banbury branch Cafe and was served by four staff. Sort of polite, however as I got to the counter I was immediately jumped on and asked if I had completed the Track and Trace form, I replied no as only just got here. I then completed form and was immediately sprayed with sanitizer as the she was trying to get to the pen I had touched. Second concern, several people were behind me and no other person was asked to complete the form. Why me and not others, I thought it was a general form that everyone has to complete. I am only 39 so is it now a age thing. Very confusing and needs to be addressed. Another issue, touching faces, leaning, face masks half of face, moaning about other team members, doing nothing and finally texting. Odd behaviour. Avoid this place as they obviously do not care about Covid.

Shopping in the Banbury store when we saw the Christmas lunch cafe offer. Went to order ..one prawn cocktail please off the Christmas menu …Reply we don’t have it and we have not had it ever. Desert order Christmas pud with custard Reply sorry we have not had that either. Hang on I am in a supermarket and all those items and salad bits are all on sale ..Reply we can’t take from the store. We accept we can have the cooked dinner which was nice. Half way through a person collecting plates asks if we will do an on line survey ..we say yes and she gives up the web site but adds the manager only wants you to say we were outstanding. I somehow think we won’t be doing that. Given they have not had the starters and deserts to sell throughout the offer I believe they have breach trading stands. I have made an official complaint but this company wants to wake up and smell the coffee plenty of competition out there frankly we won’t be back.
