The Bell Inn – Hooky Pub of the Year
At the Hook Norton Awards evening, we were thrilled to be awarded Best Newcomer. That recognition alone meant the world to us. But then, to our absolute surprise and honour, we were also named Pub of the Year. It was such an unexpected and emotional moment, and one we will never forget. This achievement would not have been possible without our incredible customers – your support and loyalty mean everything to us, and we are so grateful to share this journey with you.
St Mary’s Church would like to thank everyone who attended Adderbury’s annual garden party on 6 September at the Manor House in Mill Lane. The congregation of St Mary’s put on a variety of stalls including a raffle, ‘bits and bobs’ stall and Hector Wells performed two Punch and Judy shows which people of all ages enjoyed. We had a record attendance this year, with everyone enjoying a slice of homemade cake and tea in the Adderbury sunshine.
