Komakino . left this review about The Nightingale

A Charles Wells pub which is part of a small retail complex serving one of the many estates which surround Bicester's town centre and with more than one advert for the foodstuff du jour - Barrel & Stone pizza. Entry is through a beer garden replete with numerous wooden benched seating and the interior is a slightly more upmarket version of Hungry Horse decor with patterned wallpaper and carpet. A semi-horseshoe-shaped servery faces with seating in front and to the left (along with barstool seating all around) and two pool tables against the rear left. There is a designated dining area behind an open fireplace stack up a couple of steps to the right-hand side. Two beers from the CW camp, including Bombardier and something called Dizzy Blonde (Globe Hopper was reversed). A large screen showed a PL game with the volume up and competed with the jukebox which was on the setting where it plays random songs at 3-5 minute intervals. An estatey-type crowd surrounded the bar and were at the cusp of the 'raised voice' level. Fortunately, I was able to leave before their volume began to compete with the jukebox and the football.
