The Bell Inn

It’s a proper village pub, full of character, and a welcoming spot whether you’re looking for a hearty lunch or just a relaxed drink. As an old inn, it has a history that stretches back through the centuries, offering a real sense of continuity in the village.

You can expect a good selection of drinks, often including local ales, alongside a menu of classic pub food – perfect for recharging after a walk or drive. It’s the kind of place where locals gather, so it offers a genuine slice of village life. Many visitors enjoy sitting by a log fire in colder months or finding a spot outside when the weather is fine. It’s a great base for exploring further afield, being conveniently close to places like Milton, Bodicote, Deddington, Barford St John, Bloxham, and Hempton. It’s a lovely way to experience the local hospitality.
