Visiting dogs
We welcome all well-behaved four legged friends in the Visitors Centre. We do ask that they are supervised at all times and kept on short leads. Regrettably, we cannot allow them to accompany you on our brewery tours. If they are joining you in the restaurant, please can they be kept on the floor and under your table. Water bowls are available outside only. If they do make a mess, we ask you to clear up after your dog. Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
Step behind the scenes of our historic, family-owned brewery and discover how we've been brewing beer the Hooky way since 1849.
During your visit you'll experience the sights, sounds and unmistakable aromas of a working Victorian brewery, see our magnificent original steam engine, meet our working Shire horses, and watch our brewers at work as they craft our award-winning beers using time-honoured methods that have changed remarkably little over the last 175 years.
Because ours is a genuine working brewery—not a museum—there are a few important things to know before your visit to help everyone enjoy the experience safely.
Our Brewery Tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes over 100 open steps and several steep staircases. On the way, you'll get to see our brewers at work still using the traditional methods and equipment, like our mash tuns.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate guests with mobility difficulties or those who require walking sticks on the Brewery Tour, as our historic brewhouse has many stairs and there is no alternative route through the production areas. The tour is also not suitable for children under 12 years old, including babies.
If you're unsure whether the tour is suitable for you, please contact our friendly Visitor Centre team before your visit. They'll be more than happy to discuss the route and help you decide if the tour is right for you.
If you're visiting with family or friends who aren't joining the tour, our Visitor Centre, Brewery Shop, Malthouse Kitchen and Museum are all easily accessible and offer plenty to enjoy.
As you'll be exploring a busy working brewery, we ask all guests to 
wear flat, fully enclosed shoes. Open-toed shoes, sandals and high heels aren't suitable, and for safety reasons we may need to restrict access to certain areas if appropriate footwear isn't worn.
Our brewery is a busy working environment, and that's what makes the experience so unique. To help everyone have a safe and enjoyable visit, we simply ask that you:
Guests aged 12–17 are very welcome when accompanied by an adult. While they won't be able to sample our beers, we'll be happy to offer a soft drink instead.
As a food production site, our brewery is nut-free, non-smoking and non-vaping. Smoking and vaping are only permitted in the designated courtyard garden. For the safety of all our isitors and staff, anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be able to take part in the tour.
Hook Norton Brewery is a multi-use site, with brewing, warehousing, offices and visitor facilities all operating alongside one another. You'll often see delivery vehicles and forklift trucks moving around the site as part of our day-to-day operations.
If you're arriving by car or driving on site, please help us keep everyone safe by following these simple guidelines:
The safety of our visitors, staff and contractors is our highest priority. Failure to follow site safety instructions may result in refusal of entry or being asked to leave the site.
Our brewery has been at the heart of Hook Norton since 1849, and we're incredibly proud to share it with our visitors. By following these simple guidelines, you'll help us protect both our historic brewery and the people who work here every day.
If you have any questions before or during your visit, please don't hesitate to contact our Visitor Centre team as we're always happy to help and we can't wait to show you around.
Cheers!
