Visit this welcoming parlour style pub and sample Hook Norton ales straight from casks behind the bar. It has been a Hook Norton pub since 1878 but was once an abattoir and still has an icehouse in the garden. Freshly baked bar snacks available. The pub holds a monthly quiz, also monthly music from local musicians. Aunt Sally is played in summer, and sporting events such as Rugby Six Nations are shown on TV. North Oxon's
