Welcome to The Butchers Arms... 01295 730750

The Butchers Arms at Balscote is a hidden gem in the North Oxfordshire countryside. It has been a Hook Norton Brewery Pub since 1878 and boasts a Grade II listing and an ice house in the garden. We have transformed it into a traditional village pub with a modern twist, that serves Hook Norton Ales straight from the cask. Alongside the standard selection we also offer the monthly ales and unusual guest beers. We serve Homemade Food every evening except Sunday. Friday is Curry Night, with traditional Pub Grub also available. Saturday is Steak Night and Sunday is Traditional Sunday Lunch (booking advised) and Light Pub Grub. We also offer set menus for clubs and events that people wish to hold at the pub. Over the last 18 months a lot has changed at the pub, so whether you fancy a drink in our award winning garden or in front of our open fire on cold evenings, The Butchers is a perfect place for both. We are located just 5 miles from Banbury off the A422 Banbury to Stratford road. Please see the Contact Us page for our Opening Hours and directions. Well behaved dogs (on leads) and children are most welcome. We are featured in the Good Beer Guide 2011 gbgcoverand also have the cask-marqueCask Marque to guarantee a fine pint of real ale.

Homemade Pub Grub

We take pride in serving quality home prepared dishes at value for money prices. We have a small but pleasing selection of "pub grub" favourites and serve unusual homemade curries on a Friday evening. Our Saturday Steak Night menu includes a choice of steaks, a Mixed Grill and T-bone steak for those with a larger appetite. A traditional roast is also available on a Sunday (prior booking preferred). Wednesday is Bistro Night featuring dishes from the warmer continental climates for those looking for a light mid week meal.

Please see the Food page for menus

Real Ale

Our speciality is serving locally brewed Hook Norton ale. We always carry Best with a selection of the others depending on the weather and time of year. We also have available Manns Brown which has been a wonderful success with both the Bitter and the Dark. Along side the standard selection of Hooky Ales we also carry the monthly ale.

Please see the Real Ale page for more details
