The Swan (Free House) South Bar Street, Banbury, UK OX16 9AA. Probably the closest pub to Banbury Cross, this caught my attention on a Saturday with its sign saying "FOOD 12-4 // WHEAT-FREE OPTIONS". The menu on the inside has vegetarian food marked with a dayglo red sticker, wheat-free with a yellow. I had the cottage pie. Beer includes Greene King IPA. Cider extends to Dry Blackthorn. It was an early Saturday afternoon, and people were standing around watching the racing. (25.viii.2001)
