The best restaurants serving British food in Cherwell South East

A warm, well maintained, clean and friendly tavern offering excellent meals and deserts. We enjoyed our dinner and the atmosphere was very comfortable.

We has a brilliant evening at the White Horse. From the warm welcome to the excellent food and service, everything was great. Highly recommended.

Sorry, how much? A BLT, a piece of cake and a can of drink for £17.50 and that’s with a 10% discount for takeaway. Can’t say I was surprised when the staff were saying it’s not very busy. I guess I should have looked at the menu before I ordered so only myself to blame.

It was an impromptu visit on a cold Friday night...a roaring fire and warm welcome as we entered the pub and they quickly found us a table...not full, but busy. We ordered T-bone steak and a burger, both were beautifully cooked, tasty meat and served with excellent chips and trimmings . Very relaxed casual cosy dining. It was exactly what we were looking for. We will go back as there were some lovely looking dishes on the menu and no pretensions. Not cheap but good value.

We often come here on a Wednesday for breakfast / lunch and it’s always lovely. When it’s sunny (not this year!) you can sit outside, or else inside there are tables for two or four people, or armchairs in a cozy corner. The staff are always super efficient and friendly and we come with our dog who is always welcomed with a biscuit or two. The food is freshley prepared and although there is a broad menu our favourite is smashed avocado on sourdough toast with bacon and poached egg - delicious! I’d thoroughly recommend this friendly and tasty Cafe.

1* hygiene inspection. No display of this result in the window. Staff stank of beer. Avoid at all costs.

Popped in for some lunch while in Banbury, having never visited before. The staff were lovely and chatty and the baguettes had just finished cooking as we arrived! Good selection of fillings, all very tasty and well priced! Would 10/10 recommend, and I will definitely be visiting again.

My husband, daughter and I were visiting friends for a week in Shipston and this place became our second home. The building is really lovely- traditional and with a very pretty bar which is really cozy... perfect for dogs, kids and anyone wanting a good chat and a great pint (fab selection of ales and lagers). We loved the sofa in the corner for playing cards. I imagine it's super lovely when the fire is lit in winter. It's the garden that we loved most though.. there's a natural wig wam tree thing with kids stuff in so perfect for little ones. Lots of tables with an uninterrupted view of the rolling hills. They don't 'do' food but have a wood fired pizza oven that comes once every month and it was amazing! I think they have a similar thing with local fish and chips too. We were also there on 'sharing night' when the locals all bring in stuff like cheese and home made bread to share on the bar. All in all, this was a fantastic pub with great staff, a beautiful garden and a really charming, cozy bar. We will be back!

Good food! Wings were amazing and the burger is good quality!

Regular Sunday visitors. But last few weeks, even though booked a table, waited over an hour for food, which was luke warm with very fatty chewy meat. Sorry Nightingale 3 strikes your out!!!

Wife and I visited on Saturday 5th October, very friendly and great service, food was good and hot, great menu, will definitely call in on our next trip to Banbury, disablety accessible.

Great pub and well ran... Fantastic local....

The food was excellent. One of the best steaks I've had in years. However 2.5 hours for a 2 course meal just isn't good enough. The staff apologised for the delay but I'm afraid by then it was too late. To leave at 9pm from a 6.30 booking isn't acceptable.

Great place for a quick pint, a phenomenal curry, and great service.
