Quick info
About Pinto Lounge
Pinto Lounge is a restaurant in Banbury, at the rear of Unit 38 next to the canal. It opens daily, and board games and toys for children are kept on site for guests to use. Dogs are catered for too, with a water bowl and treats. The kitchen runs a separate vegan menu and offers gluten free options. Coffee is part of the line-up, including the flat white, and the desserts include carrot cake and a fruity flapjack. Ordering is self-service. Guests scan a barcode or QR code at the table or order at the bar, and staff then bring the food and drinks over. A tapas deal runs on Tuesdays.

Customer Review Summary
The recurring complaints concern food and the newer format. One reviewer describes a cold teapot, Asian chicken cooked in old batter mix, a bland lounge burger and noisy surroundings. Another received a hard, chewy end piece of black pudding with a full English, and a third found the food below expectations. Ordering by barcode at the table suits some, while one prefers traditional service. One reviewer says the old Pinto Lounge was better, and another returned twice after a bad first visit and found the food fantastic.

“We had one drink in this restaurant before playing darts a few doors along in The Light. The Lounge is next to the canal. The drinks were a reasonable price and the outside area was small but ok.”
- Kay Coleman
