Banbury’s eating and drinking is concentrated in the old centre — Butchers Row, George Street, the High Street and Horse Fair — so the twenty places listed here are walkable in an evening rather than a drive apart. Twelve of them serve past 10pm and the Coach and Horses runs to 1am, which is later than a town this size usually manages; thirteen have outdoor seating, ten take bookings, and ten will let you bring the dog. Prices, where recorded, run inexpensive to moderate.
