Nice, friendly local. Beer garden - great in the summer. No food but worth a visit.

Rest in Peace Chas - You were sheer class and it was an honour to know you.

Best Hooky beer in the area, it is a boozer, but in a good way, friendly staff and customers, with a great atmosphere, log fires etc make it a welcoming retreat for the beer drinker
|
Old style beer drinkers local. Good atmosphere if you like a joke and don't mind basic facilities.
Beer is good and is good value. Take your wife into the lounge. The bar is for the lads and thier girls.

A really nice village pub with excellent beer. (With ref to snert's review of 22nd July 2007) they've not done Sunday lunches within memory - perhaps they don't want to compete with the Joiner's Arms for food trade? Don't know. If you want a drink in Bloxham, go the Elephant and Castle it's the best by far.

Chas keeps a good pint, although most of his 'young' crowd don't appreciate it. Try it, it's a Hooky pub.

Was all set to come here as it had the best review of all the other pubs in the village on this site. I didn't come to this pub in the end because I phoned ahead to see if I needed to book a table for Sunday lunch and was told "Sorry, we don't do food"!
Probably won't be bothering to drive all the way to Bloxham just for beer. Can't understand a village pub that only caters for the village people and doesn't want part of the passing food trade.

Classic Village local, extremely popular with a well known character as Landlord. Hook Norton Beers with the occasional guest, this is the hub of the village. The building used to be the gatehouse on the old Banbury road, now it is off the main road in a quiet area. Food only available at lunchtime, the pub has a basic public bar and a comfortable lounge with roaring fire.
One of Hook Norton Breweries finest.
