An interesting, ramshackle, small pub. They sell baguettes and chips and four ales, a couple of lagers and some cider. Plenty of choice in soft drinks, as well. The service is friendly and good. The building has seen better days, though. It's crumbling and rotting, in desperate need of maintenance. The non-food parts of the pub, like carpets, window sills and shelves are really grubby with years of no dusting. The place really needs a heavy clean and some decorating. Rotting windows upstairs are not a good look. Even the sign board outside needs a refresh. We weren't quite sure why there was a coffin in the corner of the garden on the way to the outside loo; a somewhat macabre sight.
Completely unique pub on a back lane. Essentially unchanged for a century and one of the last of its kind. Even better, it is run by lovely people. Come stop on a walk for a baguette and a pint.
What a lovely little pub!!! I often rided my horse around this pub and we stoped few times for a drink. But this time we went on Sunday lunch time ,had lovely sandwich ,meet long time not seen friends and big bonus -a great live music. We spent there fantastic afternoon. This pub is dog and horse friendly. Highly recomend if you passing by !!!
Fantastic pub out near Checkendon. Really friendly, and the set up inside and outside the pub makes it feel cosy and inviting. I asked the landlady how old the pub is.... about 400 years old! Indoors there are fireplaces, and comfy seats, and outside there is a marquee, with skittle alley, and an amazing log burner that looks like an old JCB digger arm. Oh, and there is a darts board indoors too. Highly recommend this country pub.
The most friendliest pub you will ever go to. Family run pub for several generations now. If you didn't know it was there or didn't know the area. You would never find it if it wasn't for Google maps nowaday. I can't find a down side because it's set away from all the world to relax and drink without the hussel and bussel of towns and cities. Great atmosphere 5 stars all day long. Don't go there and expect a fruit machine and a jukebox this is one of the last proper country pubs you will find.
