| Having walked out of the Sun without buying anything (a 2009 reviewer on this site summed up the place correctly), we were hoping that the Pear Tree would prove a better option and so it proved. However, whilst it might be the longest surviving Hook Norton Brewery pub (1869), it has modern flagstone and wooden floors and bar counter yet no hand dryers in the toilets. 5 Hook Norton handpulls but the 3 ales I tried (Tower Ale, Hooky and Old Hooky) were all distinctly average despite the proximity to the brewery and I left with a slight feeling of disappointment. paul_d102 - 25 Mar 2024 09:30 |
| With Tim Gilkes, formerly landlord of the Chequers in Fenny Stratford, newly installed, this already excellent pub is surely going to be regarded as a classic. Tim's legendary cheese nights are in action as well as a quiz while the range of Hook Norton beers, delivered by dray horse from the nearby brewery are in sparkling condition. Essential.

| A friendly village pub, which in these difficult times survives through being the tap room to the Hook Norton brewery. A warm welcome and with all the current Hook Norton range on handpumps, a good preview for a visit to the brewery. Strongly recommended. 16jamesdoc - 25 Apr 2017 09:27 |
| A must visit for beer fans. The original brewhouse for the Hook Norton range until they moved to a purpose built brewery up the lane. Also must be checked out. 6 of the Hook Norton range on and a cocktail menu showing you how to mix and match to come up with more options. Nice open fire. Pub Food - and as you would expect, superb beer. Some photos at my walking blog - http://bit.ly/1OHAKJw Mappiman - 6 Dec 2015 11:39 |
| Went to the Pear Tree after a tour of the brewery - the pub is very much company-owned and Hook Norton throughout. Pleasant staff, good selection of well-kept beer and a typical 'pub grub' style lunch. Prices a tiny bit higher than one might expect. Absolutely nothing wrong with the place, a good proper pub, but I wouldn't describe it as excellent or brilliant. Mike_Oxford - 19 May 2015 08:26 |
