18th-century L-shaped stone-built inn with inglenook fireplace located just outside Bicester's pedestrian main street. Having spent many years known as the Hobgoblin, it has reverted to its original name.

It's a traditional two-room wet-sales pub with stone floors and wooden tables and chairs. Three changing ales are on offer which are often local ales.

No food is served but snacks are available behind the bar.

Music plays a big part at the Bell with live gigs featuring local bands every Friday night and more.
