Castle at Edgehill, Banbury

Must have forgot to review on my last visit 4.5 years ago. Nothings changed - this is a spectacular location/building - with a lovely beer garden and one of the best Sunday lunches in the land. You do pay for what you get and it is expensive. I can confirm inflation is running at 23.5% over the 4 years between visits. Building - built in the 1740s, to mark 100 years since the first battle of the English civil way. Charles I had his headquarters in exactly this spot. The battle raged below, with the loss of 1500 men. No winner declared. Pub since 1822. Hook Norton tied house - no Old Hooky - with IPA and standard Hooky on Cask and Hooky in great condition. Not a drinkers pub - maybe in the garden - but definitely a destination for the service and food quality.
