Best Breweries in Chipping Norton

We had a great night!!! The location provides great views of the harbour, however many other places have great views too. Why did we have a great night? The staff were great, and we really enjoyed the food! We had a late sitting - last before kitchen closed, and we were 5-10 minutes late. Group of 5, with diverse food requirements, and the last sitting just before kitchen closed. We had a big order including everything vegetarian on offer. We were encouraged to get our order in to the kitchen smartly, which is fair enough. Why were the staff great? Once the order was in, there was absolutely no pressure on us ( not there was a lot of pressure to get the order in, just a tiny bit of encouragement). Once the order was in, they encouraged us to enjoy the food and location. No pressure. Then there’s attention to detail… One of our party dropped a pice of cutlery, and within seconds a staff member appeared with a tray of cutlery to select the dropped piece… Why were the kitchen staff great? Despite being last order in and a complicated one at that, the food was on point and not rushed - and way better than I expected. I was worried given the pub vibes downstairs. I shouldn’t have been. We shared everything across the party. The vegetarian options completely satisfied our vegetarian, despite the rest of us trying to get in on the show. They were well thought out, and we found them delicious- I would be happy and satisfied just ordering the vegetarian options! The entree eggplant was great, with crunchy crumb, nice soft interior and a touch of heat in the sauce. We didn’t order steak - we don’t eat a lot of red meat. We only ordered prawns and chicken. The prawns were cooked and presented well, and got demolished - enough said! The highlight of the night was the chicken. Just try it!

Great options and variety with starters, good main dish options, excellent own-brews too. With the team being warm and hospitable, what’s not to like here?

Absolutely fantastic experience - great menu of beers, very friendly staff and service with a smile Fantastic location & great character Thanks team Chuck & Sons for a great evening

The staff looked after us very well. They helped us with a table wherenwe could sit with our dog. The food was great! We had some issues with Uber Per and one of the staff members (I think it was Joel) came to ask us if everything was okay. I think he would have taken us home if we did not stay more than 30min away.

Great little hidden venue. Food was great, service impeccable. Had a great afternoon, looking forward to going back. The guy behind the bar was terrific with his tips for beers and his advice was spot on.
