The Dolphin in Middleton Cheney is a great village pub near Banbury on the border of Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire. As a family we have visited the pub on many an occasion, and have always been impressed with not only the quality and Food and Drink available, but also the courtasy of the staff and owners. A favorite dish of ours to have there is the Sunday Roast, very highly recommended, due to the huge portions! especially Yorkshire puddings! The Beer is always good and sold at a fab price for the area. The pub has much competition in the area, considering too there is another pub right next door! this I guess keeps the prices reletivly low. There is only one downside I can think of regarding the Dolphin, the location. Unfortuently the pub is situated at a T junction in the centre of the village, 2 busy roads on either side, plus the village school opposite. It can get noisy at times.
However, this pub is a favorite haunt of ours and would be most recommended to fellow local people/villagers, or simply passers-by. read more
