Pubs in Banbury

Barley Mow

Warwick Road, Banbury OX16 1SS

Lying beside the Banbury to Warwick road, this is a large family-dining-style pub. Essentially a single space, but broken up into different areas, with a pool table to the right, dining to the left and a drinking area in front of the bar.

Banbury Cross

7 Butchers Row, Banbury OX16 5JH

The pub is situated in the centre of the pedestrianised shopping district, nice and convenient for shops, banks etc. The pub is a large main bar, offering multi-screen sports, pool and darts, as well as a wide selection of wines, spirits, hot and cold soft drinks and Wells and Youngs traditional real ales. To the rear of the main bar is a delightful courtyard, far from the hustle and bustle of the main shopping areas only yards away - a great place to stop in for a quiet drink or a coffee to break up your day. Home to Banbury Folk Club every Wednesday
