The Fox
About
The Fox at Chipping Norton is a historic 16th‑century Grade II listed inn tucked into the heart of the market town. The pub‑hotel couples classic British pub comforts with a contemporary, theme‑styled hotel, offering ten individually designed en‑suite bedrooms built around the building’s heritage. Diners can enjoy award‑winning Hook Norton cask ales, a full‑sleeve of traditional British dishes and occasional live music, while guests staying overnight are treated to a fully‑furnished room, flat‑screen TV, free Wi‑Fi in many rooms and a selection of breakfast options. Whether you’re looking for a quick pint, a leisurely meal or a cozy night in, The Fox provides a warm atmosphere, a friendly team and convenient access to the surrounding Cotswolds. The venue’s welcoming bar, fireplace lounge and courtyard tables make it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The Fox opens its doors for food service Monday‑Friday 7:30‑11:00 am, 12:00‑9:00 pm; Saturday 8:00‑11:00 am, 12:00‑3:00 pm and 5:00‑9:00 pm; Sunday 8:00‑11:00 am, 12:00‑8:00 pm. Walk‑in service is available, but reservations are welcomed for table bookings up to eight guests and for larger parties callers are encouraged to book early. The venue is dog‑friendly in the bar area, offers free parking and is a short distance from local cafés, shops and the scenic trails of the Cotswolds, making it an ideal base for day‑trips and weekend get‑aways.
