What stood out most was the quality of the beef, the most tender, succulent cut of ground meat you can ever hope for, and grilled to perfection. I don't get overly excited about burgers, but this was the apex and I thought I had died and gone to burger heaven. All this is a very charming, tasteful pub in the Cotswolds countryside. Comfortable, cozy and oh so pleasant. We came for lunch just after noon at seated in the restaurant. We were given a choice of that or the pub/bar section. I washed it down with a pint of Cotswold Pale Ale... a great choice with the lunch. Service was professional, friendly and fun. They were very engaged and thoughtful and I highly recommend going out of your way to visit and enjoy this establishment.

After being disappointed in Chipping Norton, I decided to head into the country seeking a quiet pub…read morefor lunch. This place was absolutely what I was looking for. The ambiance was exactly what you'd expect in a quiet inn in the countryside. Exposed beams and stone, a big hearth fireplace, clean tables, floors, bar area and restrooms. The service was attentive, but not overly so. I ordered quickly and the food was well timed. I had the fish and chips, which honestly had a bit too much batter for my taste, but the batter was so good, that didn't matter at all. The chips were perfect, and the peas were the perfect compliment. It is clear this is a local gathering spot. By the time I had finished, the bar area had filled with locals catching up and having a good time with each other. If you're touring the Cotswold's and in need of a perfect pub lunch, this place is it. Don't bother with trying to park or navigate the scaffolding of Chipping Norton. Head to the Chequers. It's well worth it.

It's a gorgeous little pub in a gorgeous little town in Oxfordshire and we'd had it recommended to us by friends but noticed online it had also won lots of awards for its amazing grub. Well, we were sold! On the first evening they were packed due to lots of large Christmas parties in the dining room out the back so we perched on a little table in the warm and cosy pub area by the bar. I had the scallops and black pudding starter with apple compote which was beyond words delicious (but I will try anyway) - the scallops were melt-in-your-mouth and the black pudding cooked to perfection (which is a feat in itself as it's so easily overcooked leaving it dry!) For the main I had steak with blue cheese and garlic butter (there goes the diet!), a lovely salad and chips which I could have done without - I think maybe potatoes would have been better. My fella had steak and Hooky pie with peas and chips which was also pretty damn good. On our second visit I had a smoked salmon and anchovy starter which was so fresh, and pork belly main with mashed potatoes and veg. The fella had wood pigeon and guinea fowl - again all the food was superb! The service is very friendly and efficient, the prices extremely reasonable for the fantastic meals they're serving (ooh, did I mention the complimentary warm bread rolls and butter?) and a lovely setting which perfectly complemented our country weekend away! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

This country pub is a slice of heaven…read more Hook Norton has a very good brewery, and there are several pubs nearby that carry its ales. The Pear Tree is the closest, and it's good enough that we've driven out to it from London several times. It's tucked in the middle of the village of Hook Norton, a very pleasant building. It's not overly large inside, just cozy, and made of the same raw materials that most un-renovated country pubs are. The area is great for rambling. We've done a couple of walks here on arriving, returning to the pub for our post-exertion refreshments. They carry several rotating Hook Norton ales, of course, all of which I find are worth a sample. The menu is broad and always tasty, and popular enough that they often sell out, so go fro lunch early. Illustrative story: The last time at the Pear Tree, we saw Hooky Pie on the menu. We asked what that was, and learned that it's locally-made beef and ale pie. It was, according to the woman behind the bar, very popular, and they usually sell out of it quite quickly. It certainly sounded like an appropriately hearty meal for a December day by an open fire. Then the couple at the table next to us each received that very dish, and the deal was sealed: it was huge, meaty, and tasty-looking. Three of our group of four ordered the Hooky Pie. A few minutes later the bartender came back with bad news: only two portions of pie left. One of the girls took one for the team and ordered fish pie instead. When our food finally arrived, it was as tasty as promised. Delicious. Thick. Oozing gravy. Huge chunks of beef, too, not a ground-up mush. Luckily, the fish pie was just as delicious an alternative for those that took it. A family with three kids came in just as we were finishing and tried to order the Hooky Pie. Sorry, the bartender said, we're all out. Without a pause, she pointed at our table and said, They took the last pies. Five pairs of hungry eyes glared at us from across the pub. We cast our eyes downwards and finished our pints.

We weren't sure what to expect on Sunday afternoon in Chipping Norton since most places are closed or close early on Sundays. We started with the Baked Camembert with rustic bread and an apple chutney. This was a great starter to share with a couple folks and enjoy with wine or a draft beer. For our entrees we chose the Sunday roast and the chicken and leek pie. I realize that England has gotten some bad rap in the past about their food not tasting good, which this place disproves. The roast was cooked to rare and was accompanied by roasted potatoes and root vegetables. In addition, there was a side of steamed vegetables made of squash, leeks, and kale. The Yorkshire pudding was a nice addition to the meal. The chicken and leek pie had the same steamed vegetables as well as mashed potatoes and gravy. The pie was very tasty. We also got the cauliflower and cheese bake. It was a side large enough to share. The rum cake was great at the end. The chef is from Jamaica and very talented and the service here is impeccable. We will probably be back again before we leave in a couple days to try the rabbit or something else.

I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants that haven't had steak as tender and succulent as what we had here. The ambiance was romantic, quirky, and quiet, perfect for a night out. We started with a potato and leek soup and the Welsh rarebit. The soup was good, not exceptional, but good, and the rarebit was tasty. We continued with the special, which was a hanging skewer with melted garlic butter, corn on the cob, and chips. I can honestly say that I have never had such a delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned beef skewer outside of Greece or Spain. It was an absolute experience simply eating it. One of those rare dishes that makes you pause and close your eyes at the sheer pleasure of the perfect taste. I never wanted it to end. My husband had the same experience with his assorted beef platter. The medallions were so tender you understand what the phrase "melt in your mouth" means. I only wish we had room for dessert, as the dessert menu looked utterly luscious. But we will be back, and soon. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that. Worth every bit for a nice meal out and I believe that the menu is a bit different.
