About
The Great Western Arms is a Hook Norton Brewery pub on Station Road in Blockley, run by Jason Linehan. It serves Hooky cask ales, with lagers and ciders, and pub classics made with local produce, including a two-course lunch for £10 and a Sunday roast.
Outside is a large patio with five tables, a sun-trap courtyard and a barbecue area. Dogs are welcome, and the pub holds quiz nights, live music and beer festivals through the year.
It suits walkers: you may leave the car in the pub's car park and ring ahead to have a meal waiting when you get back. The Blockley and Batsford Park and Blockley and Norcombe Wood walks start in the village, and the Chipping Campden to Blockley walk ends there, near St Peter and St Paul.
Food is served from Wednesday to Sunday; on Mondays and Tuesdays the pub opens in the evening for drinks only.
