The new tenants of the Red Lion say it is a traditional pub which sets the highest standards. The Red Lion, Chipping Norton is a small intimate pub, where the conversation is varied, the laughter loud and friendships are made. And the new tenants of the Hook Norton pub Sheila Belton and Mick Taylor intend to keep it that way � as a traditional pub which sets the highest standards. �The Red Lion is a proper pub, offering great Hooky beer, great company and good old-fashioned conversation. We are an ideal pub for people from the town or visitors to the area who want to experience a proper local,� said Shelia. A friendly pub with a large roaring fire � Sheila says she wants the reputation for serving the best Hook Norton beer in the area and would love to see the pub listed in CAMRA�s Good Beer Guide. �I intend to keep the beer properly in the cellar,� said Shelia, �then my customers should always get a perfect pint. We are getting customers of all ages� and it is great to see so many younger drinkers coming in to drink real ale,� said Shelia. Shelia is keen her customers pay a big part in the local community and help raise money for local causes. A former licensee of the Red Lion was the inspiration for GP Jonathan Moore to set up the Lawrence Home Nursing Team, which provides home care for terminally ill patients and in the past the pub�s customers have raised money for it. Shelia is hoping that her customers will once again support it or a similar charity. Free wifi and newspapers are available. The Red Lion has no jukebox, fruit machines or video games. Teams representing the Red Lion are entered in local leagues of crib, darts, dominoes and Aunt Sally. The Red Lion has the best beer garden in Chipping Norton and is ideal for families Originally built as a tap house the pub was first recorded back in 1686.

  The Chequers is thought to date back to the late 1500's as a pub when it was identified by a sign of a blue anchor outside. The main bar is situated amongst four seating areas. In the absence of any electronic games machines, pool tables or juke boxes, the traditional pub styling of yesteryear is recalled. As a Fullers House the Chiswick Bitter, London Pride and ESB are all served in perfect condition. Other drinks include Heineken and Grolsch lagers, Strongbow cider and draught Guiness.  Opened in August 1998, the new restaurant area is the latest addition to the Chequers Pub. The old courtyard has been covered over to create a pleasant, light and airy room with the capacity to seat up to fifty people. As well as being featured in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and Good Pub Food Guide, the Chequers has also been a regular winner of the Fullers Pub of the Year and even invited to be on the judging panel! Most recently, The Chequers has become one of just 500 pubs, whittled down from 50,000 throughout the country to be awarded the prestigious Cask Marque for outstanding cask beer quality.

The Blue Boar is a versatile kind of venue - one which refuses to be categorised. It is a busy locals pub, a popular sports bar (boasting a giant projector screen T.V.), a conservatory coffee shop (the Garden Room serving Teas, Coffees & light bites) and the home of Saddlers Restaurant with an A la Carte menu.

List and it is particularly apt for this striking country inn. This is one village pub and restaurant where attention to detail is paramount. If you come expecting anything but excellence in a relaxed atmosphere, prepare to be disappointed! The welcome is warm, the service friendly. The setting is idyllic, overlooking the towns market square.
The Fox Hotel is a lovely old Cotswold stone building dating back to the 16th century and is situated in the centre of Chipping Norton, adjacent to the Town Hall. 
his charming 300 year old coaching inn is, in fact, one of the newest additions to the Arkell's stable. Not that you'd notice. Everything that's made The Kings Arms such a popular pub since the 17th century are still obvious today, namely: ideal location, friendly service, good food, well kept ales and high quality accommodation. For travellers and tourists taking in the delights of the Cotswolds, the fact that the landlords, Viv and Avril, know more than their fair share about the area as born-and-bred locals is yet another plus. Currently offering 13 well appointed rooms, all of which are en-suite and can be easily made into twin or double accommodation, the Kings is also ideal for families, with 2 larger sized family rooms available. Centrally located, the Kings is perfectly placed for shoppers looking to take a break from
