The Red Lion is a pub in the heart of Bloxham, just a few minutes drive from Banbury on the A361 to Chipping Norton.
The pub is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We pride ourselves with promoting local small craft breweries. From well kept Cask Ales, to fine premium Lagars and Weisens, to Belgium trappists and Lambics.
Our wine list has been specially selected to compliment our menu created by the award winning Nicholas Maloney, our Head Chef.
The Village is situated at the convergence of several country walks. As well as being next to the A361. The Red Lion provides a relaxed spot to stop and have a bite to eat on your travels. With a large garden and stretch tent, we are perfect for families and dogs.
Keep and eye out for our Live Music, Comedy Nights and soon to come Hog Roasts..","topReview":null,"features":{"subtype":null,"__typename":"RestaurantFeatures"},"restaurantAvailabilityToken":"eyJ2IjoyLCJtIjoxLCJwIjowLCJzIjowLCJuIjowfQ","generativeDescription":null,"address":{"line1":"High St","city":"Banbury","postCode":"OX15 4LX","country":"United Kingdom","__typename":"Address"},"contactInformation":{"phoneNumber":"+441295586649","__typename":"RestaurantContactInformation"},"__typename":"RestaurantByLocation"},{"restaurantId":198828,"name":"The black horse","coordinates":{"latitude":51.7882528,"longitude":-1.4834096,"__typename":"GeographicCoordinates"},"urls":{"profileLink":{"link":"https://www.opentable.ae/r/the-black-horse-standlake-2","__typename":"PageLink"},"__typename":"RestaurantUrls"},"priceBand":{"priceBandId":2,"currencySymbol":"£","__typename":"PriceBand"},"photos":{"profile":{"xsmall":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xsmall/3/67158289.jpg","width":105,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"small":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/small/3/67158289.jpg","width":160,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"legacy":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/legacy/3/67158289.jpg","width":208,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"medium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/medium/3/67158289.jpg","width":320,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"wideMedium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-medium/3/67158289.jpg","width":320,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"large":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/large/3/67158289.jpg","width":640,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"__typename":"RestaurantProfile"},"__typename":"RestaurantPhotos"},"neighborhood":{"name":"Witney","__typename":"Neighborhood"},"statistics":{"recentReservationCount":2,"reviews":{"allTimeTextReviewCount":341,"ratings":{"overall":{"rating":4.5,"__typename":"ReviewStatisticsRating"},"__typename":"ReviewStatisticsRatings"},"__typename":"ReviewStatistics"},"__typename":"RestaurantStatistics"},"justAddedDetails":{"justAdded":false,"__typename":"JustAddedDetails"},"primaryCuisine":{"name":"Gastro Pub","__typename":"Cuisine"},"description":" The Black Horse pub in Standlake near Witney is a welcoming establishment, steeped in history Historic Appeal: The Black Horse has been a pub since at least 1761, housed in a Grade II listed building dating back to the 16th century.

Great food, friendly service & reasonably priced. Well worth a visit.
"The Fishes has been our go-to spot for the past 20 years, and it never disappoints. We visited today for a birthday lunch, and as always, the food was exceptional, and the staff were friendly, polite and attentive. With the sun shining, we decided to sit outside on the decking area, which was lively and bustling, adding to the great atmosphere. A perfect experience, as always!"
Shame that the outdoor Booth seating tables are "plasticated off" making them even more noisy when the kids play riot and the parents do not contain them. We had to escape further up by the bigger tent in order to catch the sun and be able to converse in peace.
The Sunday roast was delicious as previously, delicious and big portions, thanks.
