Bright and airy Veritas is a smart restaurant in the heart of Banbury serving a refined menu of Anglo-French cuisine. The contemporary interior with its muted tones and painted woodwork has a breezy, continental feel that offers a stylish backdrop to dishes such as roasted rump of Oxfordshire lamb with puy lentils and thyme jus, or confit of duck leg with potato dauphinois. There is a fixed price lunch menu for diners short on time, with sausage nights on Tuesdays and regular live jazz and blues.
