The Mill Arts Centre, Banbury

A GBG-listed Arts Centre bar less than 5 minutes from the train station (cut through the bus depot to access). A large impressive stone edifice (presumably a Mill in a former life?). Whitewashed interior with flagstone flooring and chocolates leather banquettes. Three ales, two Purity and a decent Hooky Bitter, served by friendly staff. I was the only customer for most of my visit. Startled by a massive and sustained banging/rumble from upstairs (a Spanish dance class, apparently) which sounded like they were about to come through the ceiling. Password WiFi available and food offered. A bit of a CAMRA inclusivity tick-box rather than a drinking destination, I think. Still, worth having a look if you’re in Banbury. Just avoid Salsa class evening.
