Hook Norton ale on tap, food cooked without pretension, and a free house that shaped travelling from this corner of the Cotswolds for 500 years — 5 mins from the high street.
"Hook Norton Brewery is ten minutes up the road.
On a clear day you can smell the malt."
Draught ales from Hook Norton and beyond, lagers, ciders, and spirits we've thought properly about. The bar doesn't take reservations — walk in, find a seat, and let the evening look after itself.
The kitchen turns out food you'd recognise — done well, at prices that don't require a special occasion. Eat in the bar, the restaurant, or the garden. We'll bring it to wherever you've settled.
The restaurant finished its refurbishment in November 2025 — a proper new room, not just a coat of paint. The food is what it's always been: straightforward English cooking done without shortcuts, at prices that don't ask you to dress up to justify them.
Whether it's a quiet Tuesday lunch or a long Friday evening, a gluten-free menu is available and the kitchen works around intolerances without making a performance of it.
The restaurant is bookable. The bar is not. If you'd like to guarantee your table, use the contact form below.

For generations this corner of the Cotswolds ran on skilled hands — the farrier, the cooper, the miller, the wheelwright. The four rooms upstairs carry their names.
The high street runs straight and long, the Cotswolds fold in around it, and Oxford or Stratford are forty minutes in either direction — manageable, if you're not in a rush.
