Blue Boar	Goddards Lane	OX7 5NP	Sarah and Mike Wilkes		643525
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. "Every village has a treasure - that's the quote on the front of the 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. (Quoted from the Blue Boar website)
Off the Beaten Track	18 Horsefair	OX7 5AQ			646383
Over the last 200 years the Inn has been known in the local community as a place to eat and drink in style and comfort. In the last year the new proprietors have worked to, and achieved, further excellence through the refurbishment of the Barracuda Brasserie, the Bar, the Herb Courtyard and the high standard of accommodation offered. The design of the Barracuda Brasserie is in keeping with the excellence of food offered. The Brasserie is decorated in soft blues and relaxing shades; with leather sofas for pre or after dinner drinks. The Bar offers a more relaxed atmosphere, serving traditional ales and wines that cater to the most discerning of tastes. Served at the Bar is also a selection of cocktails and sparkling wines. The bar menu provides light lunches or simple snacks and is available all day. The Herb Courtyard, so called due to the herbs growing around the edge, is a light and airy room where both the bar and restaurant meals can be enjoyed. The restaurant and the courtyard are both non-smoking environments. Children are welcome, and all requirements such as high chairs and a children's menu are available upon prior request. In keeping with tradition a Sunday roast is available from Midday to 6 p.m., in The Bar, Restaurant or Courtyard. All dietary requirements can be catered for, and menus can be devised solely to suit an individuals needs with prior arrangement.  "If your taste is sophisticated, exciting foodie food and you refuse to settle for anything less than the finest available, try a little trip to Off The Beaten Track" Food and Drink Guide.

The Albion Tavern	Burford Road	OX7 5EF			642860
In 1863, a local businessman, James 'Bony' Williams started Chipping Norton's first public water supply on the site where the Albion tavern now stands. What is now the beer cellar was the original reservoir containing the water he sold. In 1873 a license for the sale of beer was granted at 'The Reservoir Tavern' Towards the end of the 19th century, the 'Tavern' was acquired by the Hook Norton Brewery, who to this day still sell their fine traditionally brewed ales to our discerning customers. A conservatory has been very tastefully added, with a tiled floor, wicker furniture, plants and burnt orange walls gives this a real Mediterranean feel. For a more intimate meal the neo-modern Non Smoking restaurant provides the discerning diner with the perfect venue to enjoy either one of the traditional classics from the main menu or an international special from the chalkboard. Superb quality and great value, The Albion Tavern's menu's are home cooked using fresh, local produce when available. Your hosts Rowan and Amanda are experienced chefs, so a beautifully cooked meal is assured, whoever is in the kitchen. You must try Rowan's home-made steak and ale pies, which are a local legend. Sunday Roast Dinners are not to be missed and great value at just £6.95.Our large enclosed rear garden is a safe ,secure area for our younger guests to play, while mums & dads enjoy a drink or maybe something from the delicious menu. The garden is also the venue for our aunt sally team. amandyrowan@aol.com

The Chequers	Goddards Lane	OX7 5NP			644717
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.  in February 1991 following extensive renovation Josh and Kay Reid who are both from Lancashire, moved into the Chequers. 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 and with Josh a fan of Fullers beers, 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.
