Cask Ale

Built in 1854, this friendly locals' pub has been sensitively refurbished in recent years. From the street you enter a tastefully furnished L-shaped bar and dining area, decorated with eclectic paintings and brewery signs. One side looks out onto the canal, alongside which there is outdoor seating. The castle remains nearby are where William the Conqueror accepted the nation's defeat after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Information for this venue is provided by the Mid Chilterns Branch of CAMRA
