With the other pub in the village seemingly being a gastropub, the shabbier Butchers Arms seemed more suitable for our post-ramble pint. There was horse racing on the TV and a fair number of miserable-looking locals not talking to one another. Hooky, Twelve Days and Command & Conquer were the 3 Hook Norton ales; my Command & Conquer looked good but there was a faint taste of cleaning fluid and I wouldn't have been surprised if my pint was the first one they had served that day as most of the other Sunday afternoon regulars were drinking lager.

Wandered in at lunchtime while on a narrowboat trip. Beer garden pleasant. Seemed to be mainly locals inside. Beer was fine - whole experience was 'OK'

I've not had a bad pint in this pub since Alan, the new landlord took over. Shame about his hyper son who sometimes 'works' behind the bar!

Ate in this pub on Thursday lunchtime. Very basic pub food, would not return for food here. Beer was average but found prices a little steep.

This pub changed hands a few months ago and now draws a broader section of villagers than it did with the previous landlord/landlady. The abscence of the No Swearing sign behind the bar might indicate a change of tolerence. Homely food and good Hooky on tap.

This was a quiet pub when we called and we had Hook Norton Hooky Bitter that was the only ale on. We had a meal but it could have been better. Too many hard peas like bullets and only about 10 chips.
