Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Patrons rave about the relaxed atmosphere at JT Davies, calling it one of the most enjoyable spots in Banbury. The beer garden is often highlighted as a favorite feature, especially with its heated seating area, making it comfortable year-round. Customers appreciate the friendly staff who enhance the experience with their attentive service and laid-back demeanor. The food also receives high praise, particularly the halloumi and avocado wrap and the juicy burgers.

Most Disliked

Some visitors have pointed out that the seafood options can be limited at times, which may disappoint those specifically craving a catch of the day. The cleanliness of the tables has also been a concern for a few, though most patrons recognize that the staff works hard to maintain order during busy hours. Additionally, on peak weekends, the noise level can rise, making it a bit overwhelming for those seeking a quieter dining experience. A few customers have also mentioned occasional delays during peak times, though these are often outweighed by the overall positive experience.

Visited this place when in the area for an overnight stay, first impression was, what a really nice beer garden! Ordered drinks off a really polite guy behind the bar. Had a walk around the town for a few hours and ended up back in this place! (by far the best and most relaxing place in Banbury) sat outside for a drink on way home under a heated patio area and loved the rest of the evening . 5 Star for me 👍

Had an absolutely amazing night at JTs. New management is amazing, super friendly and accommodating and for what you get and the ambiance, great value for money. One of the only pubs in Banbury that’s roomy and plays good music and is a place you actually want to sit in for hours, what more do you want from a pub! They also serve great coffee and have a wide variety of liqueurs and drinks. Must try if your passing through Banbury and want a chic, 5 star experience

The food is tasty and recommend the halloumi and avocado wrap 💚 great seating inside and out. With a swing chair that a child was already using but would have loved to try it out 😜 decor and music was good. Shout out to the guy who was working the bar today with trendy shorts and a shirt 🤩 he worked so hard especially in the 30 degree heat. He was friendly, smiley and good at his job 🥰 will be back here soon 🥰😘😍 thank you 💚💚💚

Visited for the first time in several years not really knowing what to expect and was amazing. Although menu was missing the seafood all other items were prepared and cooked beautifully. Tables were clean and regularly cleared of empty glasses, plates etc. Atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful. Saw youngsters sipping coffee and drinking water instead of beer which to me said everything about the atmosphere. Lovely place and staff and I'll definitely visit again x
