Spotlight on Local Deddington Talent – Jennifer Anderson

“Jennifer Anderson is 28 yrs old and first moved to Deddington in 1993. She read music at the University of Bristol, where she was president of the music society (which had the elegant acronym BUMS).

Jennifer Anderson

 

Jennifer has worked with local music producer and close family friend Julian Elkan. She also very much enjoys meeting fellow musicians through the Deddington Festival events, particularly jazz group Stekpanna, who return year after year to entertain us. She is delighted to be participating in Deddington Radio and thinks it’s great that so much musical activity goes on in her not-so-sleepy Oxfordshire home village”.

New Menu at the Deddington Arms Hotel Restaurant

I want to let everyone know about the great new menu at the Deddington Arms….especially the Pizza..

I was really impressed with the Pizza Diavola, in fact it was one of the best pizzas I have tasted in a long while.

Talking to the manager this week, to prepare for this blog, he advised me enthusiastically that “the new menu at the Deddington Arms has the best of everything, in one restaurant”.

He then leaned forward and whispered “my favorite is the Steak” and then moved even closer and suggested directly, “why don’t write about how good the New Menu is at the Deddington Arms and stress how we have the Best Steak in Banbury in your next blog…”

While I agree the steak is very good, I really wanted to talk about how good the pizza is at the Deddington Arms. Because based on my experience the Deddington Arms has the BEST PIZZA in BANBURY…….hey probably the Best PIZZA in OXFORDSHIRE….!

Anyway why don’t you decide, come and try the new menu at the Deddington Arms for yourself…

Let me know which is your favourite choice on the new menu the “best pizza in Banbury” or the “best steak in Banbury”?
