The Elephant & Castle in Cherwell

Stayed for one night. People where very nice. Made an efford. We had a blast.

Typical homly English pub. Landlord Simon is a character and a half.

Smudge and the team ensure a warm welcome for all. Great place for a pint or two and a natter.

Played Aunt Sally here; great pub will be visiting for a drink one day

Great drinking pub and very friendly people all round 👍

Look out for the cider menu! Best cider in the shire!

It's Tuesday. Google says open 12 to 11pm. It's 16.25 and it's closed!

Lovely pub, great staff Don't miss it Its as an English pub should be

Met a friend for a quick drink in the beer garden. Dog enjoyed it too!

Awesome bar staff, nice selection of ciders and beer, and nice food. Great pub with awesome regular patrons. A great place to spend each arvo and evening.

Great food at a great price, lovely atmosphere with a open fire in one of the oldest pub around. .

Great country pub. Friendly staff

friendly pub, lovely old bar and lounge the host is one of the best and a character, I would recommend dropping in for an old style great pub and excellent beer 👍

After Bloxham Funday,they had live music.But could you get a drink? Totally shambolic.My friend queued for 20 minutes...They should have had an outside bar.We went back home and had a drink there.The music was so loud,we could enjoy it from their garden.What a missed opportunity!

Stayed for a night. Huge room, great price. Excellent beer, much more of a pub than the somewhat overpriced gastropubs nearby. No food in the evening.

Wonderful Cotswold stone pub in the sleepy village of Bloxham, sells Hook Norton beers! Lovely!

It's a proper pub, has fantastic beers (hooky), great garden, a lovely fire and always welcome well behaved dogs. If you want a pint with your friends, this is Bloxham's best venue.

Prices good, staff is friendly . Has a massive cosy fireplace to sit down nearby, though opening hrs are different and some local people aren't tourist friendly . Dog friendly. You have to come during hrs when they serve food, otherwise no meals are served.

Where a weary footballer can be refreshed.

Nice old pub in a picturesque village

We had my mother in laws wake here two days ago. Thanks to everyone for great service and good food and beer.

Super friendly pub. Great evening playing Aunt Sally complete with a scrumptious buffet. Definitely recommend 👍🙂🙂

Best pub in the area in terms of beer quality, location, staff and of course the landlord.

Friendly local with cheap prices.

As usual, VERY good food, good prices and well kept beers. Always a friendly welcome. Four GOMs always leave happy.

A proper 'drinking' pub with a good choice of beer.

Excellent place for a quiet drink by a roaring old fire. Very traditional pub with ol'school values i.e. no football on telly...:)

Excellent choice of still ciders.

Always a warm welcome. Superb food. A real community hub.

Friendly village pub, good choice of beer and cider. Good lunchtime food

A proper village pub, fantastic place.

Amazing place, the food is great and the service is always fast and the staff are friendly

A 'drinking pub'. It's not a restaurant with a bar tucked away, as most pubs are these days. It is a place to go to drink. You know, like all pubs used to be? Fancy a pint in Bloxham? This pub is the place to go.

Traditional English pub. Good drinks in a lovely setting. A hub for village life. Lots of history and friendly faces.

Lovely old drinking pub where you will find all of the locals and a warm welcome to all. Also has bar billiards, dart board and gardens what more could you want from a village pub...

Excellent food and staff. Dog friendly.

Nice pub, friendly locals. Good range of beers and ciders

My favourite pub in Bloxham. Hooky on tap and a good whisky selection. A pub like a village pub should be. No gastro frills.

Traditional country pub, good beers and ciders

Very comfortable place to stay.

Great local pub. Always guaranteed a warm welcome.

i have just returned from a couple of days competing with my riding club at the championships in swalcliffe. my husband and i stopped at the elephant and castle and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area for whatever reason. the landlord made us feel so welcome, the locals that frequent the pub in the evenings were fantastic company we couldn't have stopped at a better place.
