Forget about the negative reviews, the couple have been running it for less than a year. Craig and Mrs run a beautiful wee pub, full of character and dinner was beautifully presented and tasted just delightful. Pity the regulars all seem to think they are snobs or wannabe snobs which is really sad but hey small village big egos. Overall worth every penny and we will go back

Geat Pub but ... Disappointed on food and service, without apology when asked to reheat. Good local atmosphere.

Lovely old fashioned pub with gorgeous fascia. great outdoor space. Very relaxing. If you're out and about in the area, well worth a drop in

Craig’s menu is modest but he excels at everything you might order. And his Sunday lunch roast is a beauty. Looks and tastes delicious and very doubtful you’ll have room left for pud! Highly recommend.

Sunday lunch, we had another excellent roast dinner yesterday 21/5/23. This time there were 7 of us. Our food was delicious, out in a timely manner and no dramas. Needless to say a vast majority of us didn't need a dessert! We will be back! Thank you.

Had a lovely meal here with friends on Thursday evening. Lovely menu selection. My husband and I had the ham, egg and chips. Delicious home made chips, and generous portion sizes. Nice little touch with mustard on the ham. Our friends opted for the fish sharing platter, which they said was amazing! Reasonably priced, great service. Great to see the pub so populated as well. Well worth a visit.

Hook Norton pub located at the far western end of the village. There are newish, friendly licensees in here and they appear to have given the place a bit of a refresh, but without spoiling the character of the pub. They have three well kept Hook Norton ales available on handpump and a menu which focuses on pizzas and burgers, plus a traditional lunch served on Sundays. The main bar area is fairly small but there is a separate restaurant area to the rear and there are a few tables outside.

Overnight stay nearby and needed a quick bite. Excellent burger & fries (pizza oven not working), not McDonalds, better than them, value for money excellent beers, friendly staff & locals. Will definitely be revisiting, happy days

We called in at this pub as we were in the area, and received a very warm welcome from the landlady, who told us they had not been open long. It was a friendly atmosphere, and was welcoming to all. We wish you every success with taking over the pub.
This place is a proper Village Community Pub, frequented by all walks of life from The village of Aston and surrounding farms etc. What's very noticeable is how friendly and welcoming everybody is! Top marks for food and drinks also. Not a great selection of ales, but always well looked after. A fine eatery, but still a proper pub!
Lovely village pub, great food at reasonable prices would highly recommend. The Chicken in tarragon sauce delicious. My husband had the gammon and said it was lovely. Dog friendly which is always a bonus, she enjoyed her treats thankyou!! Friendly landlord and staff well worth a visit or if you fancy a takeaway the pizza is delicious.

We went to The Red Lion in search of food which they were not able to provide owing to being a chef down (or something). But it was such a welcoming atmosphere we decided to stay for a drink and proceeded to have such a nice time we stayed for three more. Lovely staff, friendly locals, the dog got a warm welcome (and dog treats) and we left not caring about the food. A great, local pub as it should be

Great hooky beer, in a traditional family pub. Outdoor and indoor seating. A great place to visit, bar staff very friendly.
