Overview
The Brasenose Arms is a public house dating back to 1660. We have a busy bar offering our Bar and Garden Menu, alongside a grill and Sunday Lunch menu. Our restaurant offers an a la carte menu that changes every two months providing seasonal dishes.
You would be joining a small, independent business, with a focus on teamwork, offering a great opportunity to progress your career, and shape the overall food experience at a well-known local dining pub. We are a small team who are all passionate about creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all our customers, who arrive as guests, return repeatedly and become friends.
Our extensive garden is used for many events such as music performances with the largest hosting over 3900 guests, as well as weddings and seasonal fayres. Our chefs cater for all these events, as well as offering traditional menus indoors and in the garden.
Based in North Oxfordshire, the village of Cropredy is a moderate size, served by the Oxford canal and several camping facilities. We serve a lot of visiting holiday makers, as well as locals from surrounding villages and the town of Banbury.
