The Perfect Pour: White Hart Royal Announces Hook Norton Beer and Food Pairing Evening
Foodies and ale lovers are in for a treat as the historic White Hart Royal Hotel joins forces with Hook Norton Brewery for a masterclass in flavour.
On Thursday, 19th February 2026, the hotel will host “An Evening of Heritage & Hops,” a specialised event dedicated to the art of pairing craft beer with fine food.
Moving beyond the standard pint, this tasting night will demonstrate how the complex profiles of traditional ales can elevate a meal. Guests will be guided through a curated menu where each course is expertly matched with a specific Hook Norton brew. From the citrusy notes of pale ales to the rich, roasted malts of a classic stout, attendees will learn how to identify flavours that complement, cut through, or enhance different culinary textures.
“Beer is incredibly versatile when it comes to dining,” says the event team. “By bringing Hook Norton’s heritage ales into the White Hart Royal’s kitchen, we’re creating a dining experience that celebrates the very best of Cotswold produce and brewing.”
Whether you’re looking to refine your palate or simply enjoy a unique night out, this event offers a deep dive into the science and soul of beer and food pairing.
