There is a good selection of proper beers too. The staff are some of the friendliest that you'll find anywhere. The only fly in the ointments are those rooms that haven't yet been refurbished (the ones that have are great) and there can be a fair bit of noise from the gathered smokers outside late at night. I struggled over whether to give this 3 or 4 stars because it depends on which room you get if you're staying there.

The Blue Boar Inn is an old pub with great food and an excellent selection of beers, wines, and…read morecocktails. We stopped in while on holiday in the Cotswolds. 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.

The bar area had great character and felt like a traditional country pub. The drinks were fantastic and the Guinness pour was spot on. We started with the salami and pickles, could have eaten 50 of them. My fish and chips were as good as any that I have ever had. Will forever compare all others to this. The back garden dining area was green and peaceful. Would have sat out there all day and had drinks and food. I hope that this place continues to do exactly what they are doing. Will make this my first stop on returning to England.

The Red Lion is a welcoming little boozer in Ilmington: without the (well-earned, it has to be…read moresaid) pretensions of grandeur that it's neighbour the Howard Arms has, this pub has a cheery buzz about it and a great village feel. The landlord & lady dish up a decent pint of Hooky or Old Hooky, and even though we were there & didn't know any of the locals it felt like we were part of the scene rather than interlopers from out of town. Food-wise there's a decent selection of basic meals serviceable cuisine, and well-prepared. Unlikely to get a Michelin star, but definitely decent grub. Solid.

Its rooms vary between quite small and pokey to vast but all are decorated in a food theme, (Artichoke to Lobster!). The rooms aren't bad but some bits and pieces don't quite work as they should or are a bit worn. There can be quite a lot of noise outside from rowdy smokers and party animals. The food is pretty good but the service can be slow. As a pub its fine, if a bit pretentious. The Friday Happy Hour with champagne deals is hopping. The quiet library room and private dining room are very pleasant. There are certainly many worse places but with a little more effort, The George could be superb.
