History Of The Pub
The pub dates back to 1892 (almost as old as Hook Norton Brewery itself – 1849) and was constructed to designs by HGW Drinkwater in a distinctive mock – Tudor style with tall red brick chimney stacks, however, the high ceilings and inside architecture are typically Victorian.
The Castle Oxford has been through many changes of ownership throughout the years and has been named a variety of different names. When Hook Norton Brewery took over the pub five years ago, the pub was renamed ‘The Castle’ to celebrate its history and traditional name of ‘The Castle Tavern’.
It has a traditional basement cellar which keeps the beer immaculately cold. Inside we still have the old original fireplace which – although not in use anymore – has been filled with the Hook Norton beer barrels.
