Pear Tree Inn

The Pear Tree Inn is a traditional country village pub at the heart of Hook Norton in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire. Originally known as the Brewery Tap, it opened as a pub in 1869 and is the longest owned Hook Norton Brewery pub. The inn began life as a substantial 18th century house with a cottage attached, and a well at the front that remains to this day. The front of the building is red brick, a sign of wealth at the time, while the remainder is built of local stone. The name comes from the pear tree growing up the front wall. The original tree is still there, supplemented by a second planted in the 1960s. The pub has a warm and inviting atmosphere with a cosy bar complete with a log burner, serving award winning cask ales from Hook Norton Brewery alongside pub food from the Beer Kitchen. It is popular with locals and tourists alike and sits just 300 yards from Hook Norton Brewery itself, making it a convenient stop off for brewery visitors. The Pear Tree also offers three ensuite bedrooms for guests staying overnight, ranging from a king size double to a family room sleeping four. A full English breakfast is included. Outside there is a huge beer garden, and the pub is dog friendly with a car park available.
