The pub is a glorious rural gem with one unspoilt simply appointed bar at its heart. The pub has no hand pumps, with two Hook Norton ales served, (Hooky and Old Hooky), poured directly from the cask in a small room, just behind the bar.

The Landlord’s passion and skill for looking after the beer has been rewarded with an ever present listing the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

This is a pub for conversation around the small bar or by the fire. The walls are adorned with memorabilia gathered throughout the years.

The pub’s bar is for adults only; children are welcome in the garden, but dogs are not allowed. Opening hours can be variable so call ahead to check.

Identified by CAMRA as having a historic pub interior of regional importance.

Historic Interest

The pub is listed in CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub Heritage, A Historice pub interior of regional importance.

Three star - A pub interior of outstanding national historic importance

Listed status: Not listed

A gloriously simple country local within a pair of early-nineteenth-century stone-built properties and which once incorporated the village shop. Its heart is now the single bar in the centre.

Although this room looks untouched by time, it has seen modest changes. At some point after it was sold by the Peyton estate to Hook Norton in 1954, a counter was installed for the first time (the landlord says in 1962): it has tasteful vertical panelling. There also used to be a tiny snug partitioned off to the right of the entrance. Across the corridor is the former village shop which for a time was a public room with pool table but is now used for storage. At the front of the building is another former bar room (but once domestic accommodation) in use until about 2008 and now also storage space. Between this and the sole present-day bar is a corridor-like ground-floor cellar where beer is dispensed direct from the casks.
