The Boxing Hare serves as the pub and genuine social hub for Great Tew, a village with real character worth exploring on foot.
You'll receive a genuine welcome whether you're dropping in for a drink or making an evening of dinner. The kitchen takes care with seasonal ingredients, and they maintain a solid range of local ales along with other drinks to suit your preference. When the weather turns colder, the fireplace provides genuine warmth and comfort, while sunny days invite you to sit outside and absorb the rhythms of village life.
Great Tew itself is an estate village that rewards wandering—the kind of place where you'll discover something interesting around each corner. The pub is the natural spot to finish exploring, giving you a chance to rest and observe local life as it actually happens. The location works well as a base for getting to know the North Cotswolds more widely. Chipping Norton, a functioning market town with its own distinct character, lies just a short drive away if you want to add some shopping or further exploring to your day. The Boxing Hare embodies the relaxed, welcoming approach that makes Great Tew worth the detour in the first place.
