| From looking at the sign outside, we were expecting a smart gastropub but found, like the last reviewer, a traditional coaching inn serving Hook Norton's Hooky, Old Hooky, Mild and Lion. Having just come from the Hook Norton Brewery tour, the Hooky was never going to match theirs, but it was still in good condition although the sparkler was a touch loose for me. The bar reminded me a little of a station hotel bar but with beams, flagstones and open fire. The pine tables were a bit shabby without being characterful and would benefit from upgrading in the not too distant future. The separate restaurant was smarter and had nice features including an internal fenestrated timber-framed wall (somebody can describe this better than me). we did not eat but the food menu was traditional pub fare with all main courses for £10 and sandwiches for £5. They also do takeaways. The locals seemed a pretty friendly bunch and, whilst not excellent, it was overall an above average experience that we would possibly repeat if driving or walking through. paul_d102 - 11 May 2013 18:14 |
| Impressive traditional coaching inn with a good range of Hook Norton ales and a comfortable atmosphere in the main bar. richythemole - 24 Dec 2012 18:27 |
