Bell, Sheningtonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Didn't try food but Hooky was in good order. Only other bitter was Flowers Best on keg. Very busy on Sunday lunchtime.

Another good Hook Norton pub, and a proper village pub too! Good selection of well prepared food, with a good range of options for vegetarians, too!

A proper village pub!!
Absolutely lovely food as always - I would certainly recommend the fillet steak, a bit pricey but definitely worth it!!
Puddings are certainly homemade - try the sticky toffee pud or the fruit pavlova off the scottie dog pudding board.
They also have a good selection of vegetarian and coeliac dishes - just make sure you mention it when booking.
We will definitly be going again.

It's a perfect little country inn, located in the pretty village of Shenington. The food really is first rate, a small but excellent range of dishes chalked up on a blackboard. The claim to make everything themselves except the bread and ice cream!
Beer-wise the Hooky was very well kept. The atmosphere is snug and welcoming. Also an excellent base for a brisk country walk to work up the appetite.

...and on the 7th day God created The Bell.
A jewell in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside the Bell will offer you good food, splendid Hook Norton ale and even better company. If you're a local or merely passing through you'll be welcome to sit by the fireplace in the bar and have a few pints of Hooky. And if you do so, please bye a round for Teddy, Hainesworth and Coles from me!

Best pub in the whole world. Fact. It's science.

An eclectic mix of farm labourers, doctors, country bumpkin, lawyers, singing brothers, landed gentry, pretty ladies and wet animals ensures there's always something to talk about in the bar - which is annexed to the pub's reasonable restaurant. Loads to drink - as long as it's Hooky - served by a genuine fan of Status Quo - judging by the mullet. Eats...? the pork Scratchings are a must. Whisky Macs are also a favourite with the crowd - especially pre-sunday lunch, where the Bell is a weekly institution. Pull up a bar stool and talk about anything with Teddy - local gentleman of repute and all round good egg.

Old village pub serving perfect pints of Hooky. A surly, yet rugged barman, grotty carpets, a dog the size of a horse and bags of atmosphere. Say hi to Teddy from me.
