Monty's burger bar

Verified
4.8(861 reviews)
96/100
Monty's Burger Bar in Bicester is a cracking little spot with smashing food, a welcoming feel, and lively tunes – ideal for a relaxed get-together over some seriously good grub.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think juicy burgers, hearty breakfasts, and tasty sides that leave you feeling chuffed, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients making every bite feel special.
  • The staff are an absolute delight; they're warm, welcoming, and quick to serve with big smiles, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some might find the burgers tasty but not particularly standout, as one person mentioned they were good yet nothing extraordinary compared to other dishes on offer.
  • While the overall vibe is top-notch, it could feel a bit hit-or-miss if you're after something truly innovative with the burgers, based on a couple of comments.

  • With only six days open a week, it could be tricky if you're planning a spontaneous trip on their closed day.

91/100
The Bell in Bicester is a cracking traditional pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, heaps of entertainment, and solid drinks and food that make it a go-to spot for a good time.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they make you feel right at home, remembering your face from previous visits and adding to that cosy community vibe.
  • It's packed with entertainment, like live music every weekend, weekly quizzes, poker nights, and even traditional pub games, keeping things lively and fun.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website has some random links to unrelated stuff like vapes and watches, which feels a bit out of place and might confuse you when you're just looking for pub info.
  • The operating hours listed seem a touch muddled, with multiple entries for Sundays, so it might take a bit of double-checking to know when it's open.

Copper Kitchen is a charming little gem in Bicester, serving up fresh, locally sourced British dishes in a cosy setting – it's ideal for a memorable evening out with mates or for special occasions.
Pros and Cons

  • It's a cosy and welcoming spot, perfect for intimate dinners or celebrating occasions like birthdays, with a lovely atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open a few evenings a week, which can be a bit limiting if you're planning a spontaneous night out or fancy popping in on a Monday or Sunday.
  • The place might feel a tad quiet at times, which isn't ideal if you're after a lively buzz, though it's brilliant for a relaxed chat over dinner.

Toho 35 is a cracking little gem in Bicester for anyone after top-notch Chinese cuisine and inventive cocktails in a stylish setting – it's got that feel-good vibe that'll make your night out memorable.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • The staff are lovely and really welcoming; they're enthusiastic, helpful, and go out of their way to accommodate dietary needs, like vegans or allergies.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open in the evenings from 5 PM, so if you're after a spot for lunch or a quick daytime bite, you'll have to look elsewhere.
  • They're closed on Tuesdays, which might throw a spanner in the works if that's your only free day.

89/100
The Angel in Bicester is a charming spot with a warm, welcoming vibe, top-notch drinks, and a cracking beer garden – it's one of those pubs that makes you want to linger for another round.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of drinks, from locally brewed real ales on the hand pumps to craft beers and an extensive gin collection – perfect for a proper pint or a fancy tipple.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening times can be a bit unreliable at times, like when they weren't quite ready at the advertised hour, which might leave you hanging if you're eager for that first drink.
  • Some of the beers might just be okay rather than outstanding, so if you're a real ale purist, it could fall a tad short of expectations.

The Ashton Club is a cosy working men's club in Bicester with wallet-friendly drinks and a heap of activities, but you'll need to navigate the membership side to get in.

  • The surroundings are quite nice, making it a pleasant spot for a meal out with friends or family.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be inconsistent, with some reports of dishes arriving cold, lacking flavour, or even tasting off, which is a bit of a letdown.
  • Staff responses to complaints aren't always helpful, leaving you feeling a tad frustrated if things don't go right.

Areas for Improvement

McCafferty's Irish Bar in Bicester is a cracking spot for a pint and some live tunes, blending traditional Irish charm with a bit of English pub twist, though it's not without its occasional slip-ups.

Bure Farm is a charming pub in Bicester that's spot on for relaxed meals and outdoor vibes, but watch out for the occasional slip in food quality and service.
Pros and Cons

Premier Inn Bicester is a reliable spot for a comfortable overnight with handy restaurant facilities, ideal for shoppers and travellers, but do keep an eye on those sneaky parking fees.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The location is absolutely spot on, just a stone's throw from Bicester Village for some top-notch shopping, and it's handy for trips to Silverstone or nearby National Trust spots.
  • The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming; folks like Mo and Becky really go the extra mile to make you feel at home and sort out any little issues.
Areas for Improvement
  • Parking isn't included in the room price and it's an extra £4.50 charge that might catch you unawares – it's a bit of a faff having to sort it out upon arrival.
  • Some rooms, particularly the premium ones, lack air conditioning, which can make for an uncomfortably warm night if the weather's on the hot side.

The Penny Black is a classic Wetherspoon in Bicester – affordable drinks, a welcoming crowd, and a nice outdoor spot, but it does have its share of tidiness troubles.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Great value for money on drinks and food, making it a budget-friendly spot for a night out
  • Friendly and helpful staff who are always up for a chat and make you feel welcome
Areas for Improvement
  • Occasionally messy with dirty tables and plates left uncleared, which can spoil the vibe
  • Long waits at the bar if the staff are rushed, making it a bit frustrating during busy times

The Acorn in Bicester is a cosy, welcoming pub that's brilliant for casual get-togethers with good grub and a friendly vibe, though it might not suit those seeking a serene spot.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is generally spot on – fresh, tasty, and homemade, with options like Katsu Curry and steak that hit the mark every time.
  • It's a proper family and dog-friendly spot, complete with a dog menu, which makes it easy to bring the whole gang along.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be hit or miss, like the pies that might have more pastry than filling, leaving you a bit disappointed.
  • It's not the best for a quiet meal, as it can get a tad noisy, especially if you're after a peaceful evening.

Areas for Improvement

  • The selection of vegetables is a tad limited, which might leave you wanting more variety on your plate.
