With a weekly rotating line of craft beers to choose from and an extensive selection of premium spirits, cask ales and distinguished wines, you will always have something new to discover.
Our delightful seasonal menu features traditional pub classics, rich in local produce and finished with a contemporary touch. All of our dishes are freshly made to order by our wonderful team of chefs, who craft new and exciting plates every week.
Let us not forget that no country pub is complete without a quaint outdoor seating area, with views of the Chilterns’ natural beauty all around you.
