- Banbury is a wonderful place for a short break. We have had great moments spent in this town, so despide the fact it's quite expensive, you have a lot of places to visit.
You just need to walk and you'll see all the things we have seen. And if you're interested please focus on the two pubs we've visited. It's awesome!

It’s good that you are getting in front of the camera more, cracked me up when I saw the “Dan Dan the cameraman” clip, that was just something I did when you were at the bar as a surprise for when you started editing 😂😂😂😂
We do need to visit the Banbury Cross before the end of summer again 🍻🍻🍻
After I've seen the surprise, I've said why not integrating it in the video :) Regarding the Banbury Cross Pub, yes, we do need to visit it again soon.
Started my career at General Foods Ltd in 1979. Spent my first ever night in Banbury at the Whately Hall Hotel. It was a great company to work for before it was acquired by Phillip Morris & Kraft Foods. All downhill from there & I left for pastures new. Still very fond memories of the town & people.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing with us a part of this town history. Cheers!
Thank you for this video. I lived in Banbury for 6 months in 1999 and was just great to revisit the little town.
I'm Banbury born and bred, and you did miss a lot of good places which has already been discussed.
You walked right past my favourite place to eat, and that is Voujon located right before you get to St Johns. The food is Indian, plentiful, and delicious. It has a lovely courtyard to eat if weather permits, and i enjoy sitting out there after dinner with a glass of wine.
There is so much history, and also Broughton Castle to visit with its beautiful moat surrounding it. Next time i reccomend Ye Olde Reindeer Inn on Parsons Street for a truly historical pub, and do have your lunch in the Globe room in back.
Safe travels.
Banbury is now just an average, car infested pitstop town between B'Ham and London. I (M,23) live here. The town centre is full of empty stores, not much going on after 7pm, and the bus network is very infrequent the timetable is symbolic if not meaningless. Which matters as Banbury is pretty hilly and there are a lot of pensioners who would rather take the bus than drive so you would think it would be better. The council is just made up of mostly retirees who are home dry, (grandfathered pensions, home paid off etc) thus they have checked out and have no new ideas. The blue collar manufacturing jobs (which are hard for young people to get into now as the central government isn't interested in helping the private sector take on young people nor investing in vocational education) are reducing in quality as pay as not kept up with inflation.
You really should have done more research into where you were visiting and the buildings you visited. Banbury used to have a castle, in the area where Castle Quay was built, hence the name. Very old town with alot of history. The Shopping Centre frontage used to be the fish market frontage in the early 1900's I believe, possibly older. The River Cherwell runs right near the canal, and you can walk near it through Spiceball Park which is just a short walk from where you were standing looking at the map.
The Town Council is actually The Town Hall which has an underground bunker.
The Olde Reindeer Inn has lots of history, including the Globe Room there being used by Oliver Cromwell.
I'm not sure what you included in your other video, but you have certainly missed alot of the good stuff.
First of all, we appreciate this comment as we didn't knew there's so many things to see in Banbury. We usually don't plan our trips. Therefore, what we're doing is visiting the towns randomly. This is making the trips more interesting in our opinion. But if we'll visit the town the 2nd time, we will follow the places mentioned in the comment. Thanks for feedback
@@RoadForksOffbeat It was nice to see a different perspective from a visitors point of view but frustrating at the same time because I knew you were missing so much 😄 I work at The Mill Arts Centre in Banbury (another unique place next to the canal) and would happily show you around next time you visit.
We'll be more than happy, having you as a guide for our next visit there. We'll contact you when we'll decide to go there again. Thanks
@@fayeholloway6070 hi
my hometown born and lived there!
They do have a river running through it called the river cherwell, and also the oxford canal runs through banbury with lock 29
Burton Dassett, Draycott College, People's Park, lots of lovely countryside around.
Thanks for the tips. I have had a look, and the places are looking nice. Therefore, could be sites visited by us soon. Cheers!
I'm moving to banbury out of birmingham up by fairway please tell me it's safe to live with my kids
We've been to Banbury many times and we haven't seen any dodgy things there. So, we would say it's safe to live there with kids.
An awesome video really enjoyed watching 👀 I lived and worked in Banbury for many years. I am currently located in Birmingham but will be relocating to Oxfordshire soon. The Banbury Cross pub is awesome and the landlord is one of the best in the business. I am glad you guys liked the venue ot is most certainly worth checking out on a weekend...Maybe you guys could do a pub crawl video Birmingham and Banbury would be fun to watch ⌚
Thanks for the feedback and of course for watching the video. When you say pub crawl, do you mean something like drinking in each pub in our way? :)
@@RoadForksOffbeat Thank-you for the reply, Yes something like a combined video featuring some of the pubs in Birmingham that you consider worthy of a visit and some of the pubs in Banbury that you visit and like. I think it would be very interesting to get a view from you guys as to what Birmingham nightlife has to offer and of course what you like and dislike about the Banbury nightlife
You can get to Leamington in 20 mins by train..not 40..maybe if youre driving 40 mins but probably more like 50 mins to an hour.
Just checked the trains from Birmingham to Leamington Spa and looks like the trip time varies from 26 mins to 38 mins; depends at what hour you leave and on what company you choose.
Abandoned buildings and empty shops are two totally different things. Also, Banbury is doing far better than a hell of a lot of similar sized towns.
old money.
@@888ssss yeah other than the new money being brought in by the revamp projects done by the town council
@@Jesuschristthelordandsaviour the bicester 8 ?
@@888ssss should I know what that is?
@@Jesuschristthelordandsaviour he is the man who pumps and dumps the local girls.
when you are in banbury you can easily visit brackley or bicester.
Thanks for the tips. Noted now, so next time we'll be there we'll visit also Brackley or Bicester.
Shopping centre frontage was the Angel pub. The butchers street is Butchers Row not street.
Great 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I used to live on Butchers Row…my bedroom window faced the pub. Very noisy on weekends…LoL
Yeah, Butchers Row is definitely noisy. When we have left that place a band was about to start, so if you're saying you've lived right next to it I do understand the frustration..
I’m moving back to Banbury in 2 weeks. I’ve been to Birmingham and like taking the train
Cool! Any reason you're moving back? By the way, I do like as well traveling with trains.
@@RoadForksOffbeat My British born husband is from Banbury. I miss friends and family.
My home town
Cool! So probably you can tell us more what else can we visit in Banbury, for next time we'll be there?
That never occurred to me as In when you walk out of the train station. It needs a clean up for sure.
Hmm, I'm a little bit lost here...You're talking about the clean up of the train station?
Great place. Lucky residents. I agree it’s expensive. I like your commentary. Im not being anti british but yes a lot of the food is way over priced in rich areas. Are you russian? If so I hope people aren’t being discriminatory towards you
Hi! First of all, thanks for the feedback. I'm Romanian, established in the UK. How about you?
Spoilt for choice now ....if you like Turkish Barbers and nail bars........or charity shops
Sounds fantastic. I see you really like living there :)
I am American but my ancestry dna is from around the area of this town.
The Rustic Bean has the best coffee…the owner is a friend
We haven't tried the coffee from there, but I guess will worth the try for next time we're visiting the town. We are planning to do this soon :)
RB has the best Coffee I have tasted so far :)
@@RoadForksOffbeat the Rustic places already closed down but you walked past the real best coffee place in town - Missing Bean. Also since you were there, a fantastic craft beer place opened called Apothecary Tap. Well, they were at a different location and moved to that Atic place you saw. It's the best craft beer place in the whole of Oxfordshire in my opinion and they have sold out comedy nights.
Btw I love the idea of visiting a random place and walking around without a plan, must be fun
the rich are getting richer while the poor are staying poor 😢
Indeed, unfortunately this is the reality :(
It's weird seeing the place you live and have been ur whole life on yt
So I guess you're from Banbury?
Yes
Looks like a great place lucky you living there 😀
Not with all the chavs and stuff it makes it a nightmare
Funny to think I live here 😅
Well, in case something got wrong, we'll get back here. But we'll definitely need a guide :) This was only a flash visit.
@@RoadForksOffbeat yes, great town but needs some fixing.
You may want to come back and see the new castle quay 2.
Who are these donuts ? Chuckle brothers !!!
This comparison is beyond the imagination :) lol
river 2 hours away?😂😂
Well, now we know that the river wasn't 2 hours away :) On that time, this probably was a wrong approximation based on google maps.
