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. 
Menus & Wine
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.
