Called in here one lunchtime when I found my usual Bloxham pub of choice, the Elephant Castle, absolutely chock-a-block. A pleasant enough venue, it has been tastefully refurbished but, for me, it lacks the character and the buzz of a traditional pub that you...get in the affore mentioned Elephant'.

Came here on a recommendation. Glad we did. Food was superb and staff very attentive. Had a steak and ale pie which was the best i have ever had. And would recommend the chocolate brownie. We will certainly be coming back next time we are...down this end.
The joiners arims is typical of an Engish country pub, with a good atmosphere, a lovely choice of ales and beers, and good food on offer. The staff seemed friendly, and it was a nice spot to refresh after a long day!
