Mainly Mediterranean style food, we shared a mezze platter which had some great tasters and warm bread. I tried the moussaka, and others had fish or lamb. They also do roast dinners, chicken and pork. Most dishes came with veggies and salad or potatoes. Portions were big. Service was attentive. The venue has a great vibe, and the outside area is lovely in good weather.

Smart, clean, modern and 'European' in decor, it was reassuringly busy, early evening, even though mid-week. Friendly staff, we only had wines and coffees, but both were well up to spec.

Deep dark purple signage suggests money and a member's club feel and once you have stepped up the hefty steps, a doorman heaves open the door, a treasure lies within. Believe me you do need money to come in here but boy is it worth it. The place was packed with it being a Saturday after pay day after a long and somewhat alcoholically dry January. I had with me an egg that I had stolen from Pizza Express. Yes a hen's egg. I vowed to love, nurture and cherish this gift of life, insisting it would one day hatch. The egg was a talking point with friendly punters and sadly as I placed her on the bar to photograph her, she rolled off, smashing beneath my platforms. The manager quickly came to the floors aid and scooped up the mess, with me saying "who would bring an egg to a lovely place like this?" in his ear hole. Ahem. We got served quickly, even though the bar area is tiny and were produced with a fantastic passion fruit cocktail with a shot of expensive champagne. Later I had a shot of tequila and an 80's Pina Colada which I have to say was the best I'd ever had. Even after real ones in Cuba. Music was current, cool and loud and I managed to burst into the VIP section and get brought some drinks for myself and the other two darling Nicola's. Result. To finish off my fabulous members only kind of evening I used my light fingers again to acquire a lovely chalk board. This lives on my kitchen table.

Some really niche furniture including tiger chairs and a vaulting horse.... and the boat of course. This is a great spot to enjoy a drink or more and the selection is great. Inventive cocktails if that is your thing but all the regular favourites on offer too! I stuck to the beer which was poured perfectly in clean glasses and tasted fresh. Live music was an added bonus but beware of this if you are seated on the sofas next to the stage - when the music starts the conversation will stop. Great atmosphere, relaxed and easy going, coupled with fantastic staff. Special thanks to the bar maid with the red plaited hair and hat who served drinks with smiles and jokes which cheered my cousin and I up whisky drinking to our recently departed grandfather! Thank you, who ever you are! Next time I am in Banbury I will be going here!

Now when you visit the countryside you don't really expect to find a bar as a city dweller might…read moreexpect it but No. 1 really was just that. Feeling a little swanky at it but still, cheaper than most of the traditional pubs surrounding it, a good area to get up and strut your stuff, and close enough the other aspects of "nightlife" in town (not to mention close to bed if you've opted for one of the travel lodges). No.1 felt like the perfect start to an active stratford night. Now i wouldn't normally review a place i had spent such a small amount of time in (without much of a yelp head on for it either - no food, no carefully laid tests for the staff). But one act from the staff compels me: We were walking into town, unsure where would be open, it was really very late. Two intimidating looking bouncers are stood outside No1 (as is their job). We pause across the road, wondering at a country bar that needs bouncers like that, i was about to walk on when they bellowed, "don't worry its nice in here, come on over!" Both with beaming smiles, one walked us in and pointed us to a good spot to sit and the other instructed my friend as to where to smoke (out the front it seemed was less windy that night). I was amazed, to be honest i'm used to bouncers being short tempered and sometimes pretty brash with you (thats just part of city life!). This is the first review i've penned where the security made a place worth visiting for me, well done guys!!

They have outside area with heating lamps, 3 bars (one outside, one in main area and another at the back of the bar) which means you never seem to have to wait for too long to get your drink. They get DJ's in for brilliant music, they sit up on a sort of balcony thing looking down onto the people in the bar. Definitely one to visit if you're in Old Town.
