Mr & Mrs Hicks would like to welcome you!
Since taking over The North Arms at the end of October 2010, we have welcomed so many people through our doors, and would like to thank you all for such amazing feedback and support. We hope to continue to provide our customers with the highest quality, locally sourced food, paired with excellent wines and well kept fine ales, all brought to you in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The North Arms is a 16th century thatched inn situated in the beautiful village of Wroxton on the outskirts of the Cotswolds, within the heart of the rural Oxfordshire.
With easy accessibility to nearby historic towns Banbury, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Oxford, there is plenty to see and do! Check out our Local Links page for further information!
Locals, Visitors, Walkers, Students, Families, Dogs and Horses are all welcome!
We hope to see you soon!
Chris & Anneka
The North Arms is situated less than four miles away from Banbury town centre, in the small village of Wroxton.
If you are unfamiliar to the area, we strongly suggest taking a gentle stroll around the beautiful grounds of the old Wroxton Abbey, now part of America's Farleigh Dickinson University. The 15th century English Heritage building boasts stunning lakes and woodland and originally belonged to the 2nd Earl of Guilford and one time Prime Minister of England; Lord Frederick North who proudly used 'The North Arms' as his personal drinking hole!
The historic towns of Warwick, Stratford Upon Avon and Royal Leamington Spa are within 20 miles of Wroxton and public transport routes are easily accessible from the local town of Banbury.
For more information log on to the Wroxton Community Website at www.wroxton.org.uk
If you are looking to stay locally, we would recommend a lovely quaint 5 star bed and breakfast no more than 2 miles from the pub called 'Uplands House' who offer fantastic service at a very reasonable price. Visit http://www.cotswolds-uplands.co.uk
