After spending an afternoon in the pretty town of Brackley, we wandered down towards The Brackley Antiques Cellar. The showroom was packed with a fantastic range of antiques from furniture to collectable masks and pottery. We happily spent a good hour in the showroom and could have easily spent thousands; luckily I restrained myself and walked away with only a collection of kitsch mugs!

Looking for a good place for a Saturday afternoon drink we stumbled across The Red Lion at Brafield, and are we glad we did! The pub, obviously well loved and cared for, was beautifully decorated and maintained. It successfully blends the charm of a country pub with a modern bistro setting. We just had a coffee, which came with a shot glass of Maltesers (nice touch) but its range or local ales and spirits was incredible. We will be returning very soon to try out the “Friday Fish Nights”.
