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.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It's got that genuine community spirit, feeling like a big family gathering where everyone’s welcome for a laugh and a chat.
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.
  • As it's not claimed by the owners, it could mean they're not as quick to sort out any niggles or updates online, which might leave things feeling a tad unmanaged.

  • Smashing location right in Bicester's city centre, making it easy to pop in after a day out, and the place is well-designed, clean, and inviting.
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.
  • The bar and restaurant hours can vary a bit, and with the status showing as closed, it might be worth double-checking before you head over, just to avoid any disappointment.

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.
  • The cosy interior with a fireplace is just lovely for those chilly evenings, and the spacious beer garden with a courtyard and marquee is ideal for soaking up the sun in summer.
  • It's dog-friendly, which is great if you're out with your furry friend, and they have fun events like quiz nights and music to keep things lively.
  • The Pizza Boys street food pop-up on Wednesdays and Fridays is a real treat, adding some delicious options to your pub visit.
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.

Cabbages & Condoms in Bicester offers authentic Thai dishes with a charitable twist, but it's a mixed bag – brilliant when it's on form, though you might hit a few bumps along the way.

  • There have been mentions of a fishy smell in the restaurant, which could put a damper on things if you're sensitive to that.

The Hundred Acres is a welcoming local pub in Bicester that's really stepped up under new management, with friendly vibes and affordable drinks, though it misses out on serving food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making you feel right at home with their chatty nature.
  • It's wonderfully dog-friendly, which is a real treat if you're out with your four-legged mate.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a pint without worrying about the cost.
  • Under new management, they've given the place a much-needed facelift, turning it into a cleaner and more family-oriented spot.
  • They're flexible about food – you can bring your own in, and there are handy options like a BBQ van or Chinese nearby.
Areas for Improvement
  • They don't serve food on-site, which can be a bit of a letdown if you're after a full meal with your drink.
  • There was that one off experience where they weren't helpful in a tight spot, like refusing to lend a phone charger – feels a tad rude.
  • It can get pretty busy at times, making it tricky to snag a table when you fancy a sit-down.
  • Some say it's not quite the top pub in the area yet, though it's clearly on the up with the new team in charge.

McCafferty's Irish Bar, Bicester

Verified
4.2(646 reviews)
84/100
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.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a traditional Irish pub, with that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home, especially with the live music and events keeping things lively.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, from fine real ales and Guinness to a wide range of wines and spirits, perfect for a good old catch-up with mates.
  • The staff are generally friendly and quick to serve, which really adds to the enjoyable experience, as mentioned in a few reviews.
  • There's a great beer garden with games like darts, ideal for a sunny afternoon or evening out, and it's all been nicely refurbished.
  • Live sports screenings and regular entertainment like bands and karaoke mean there's always something going on to keep the night buzzing.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some folks have had issues with security not handling problems properly, like when someone spilled a drink and nothing much was done about it, which can put a damper on the fun.
  • There are reports of inconsistent rules, such as one person being asked to remove their cap while others weren't, which feels a bit unfair and frustrating.
  • Recent reviews show a mixed bag, with the average dipping to 2.5 out of 5, suggesting that the experience isn't always as top-notch as you'd hope.
  • It can get moderately busy at times, and while that's great for atmosphere, it might mean waits for drinks or seats if you're not there early.

The White Horse in Bicester is a cracking little pub with warm staff, solid food, and a welcoming feel that's just right for a casual get-together or watching the game.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, attentive, and quick to serve with a genuine smile, making every visit feel welcoming.
  • The food is spot on; think hearty pub grub with generous portions that's tasty and great value, perfect for a family meal or a quick bite.
  • It's got a lovely, buzzing atmosphere that's family-friendly and dog-friendly, with plenty of space for everyone to relax.
  • They've got live sports on the screens and exciting deals on drinks, plus a nice beer garden and other handy facilities like WiFi and parking.
  • Being close to Bicester Village makes it an ideal spot to pop in for a refresh before or after shopping trips.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might not be the place for something fancy – it's classic pub fare, so if you're after more adventurous cuisine, you could be left wanting.
  • From what I've heard, there were some service hiccups in the past, though it seems they've sorted that out now, so it's worth checking.
  • It can get a bit lively during big events or match days, which might mean waits for tables or a noisier vibe if you're after somewhere quiet.

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.
  • Rooms offer great value with comfy beds, powerful showers, free Wi-Fi, and all the essentials like tea and coffee facilities – perfect for a relaxing overnight stay.
  • There's a breakfast and restaurant option on site, which is a nice touch for starting your day right, especially if you're on the go.
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.
  • There are occasional operational niggles, like delays in fixing issues such as room temperatures, which might leave you a tad frustrated.
  • The overall setup feels more hotel-like than a cosy pub vibe, so if you're after a traditional watering hole atmosphere, it might not quite hit the mark.

What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home, like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • The atmosphere in the bar is spot on for a relaxed evening – it's welcoming and perfect for striking up conversations with fellow visitors.

  • It's well-placed in Bicester, close to attractions like the University of Oxford and Blenheim Palace, making it handy for exploring.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some rooms look a bit tired and dated, with stains on the carpets and signs that a proper refurb is still needed.
  • The facilities can feel basic, like small showers and no fridge in the rooms, which might disappoint if you're after a bit more luxury.
  • There have been mentions of cleanliness issues in places, such as the toilet not being up to scratch, which is a shame.
  • As it's an older building, space can be tight in areas like the bathroom, and it doesn't quite live up to modern standards everywhere.
