This Grade II listed village community pub has been a free house since 2014. The older front bar, with its low beams, is a lounge and dining area while the rear public bar has gaming machines, pool table and a TV screen. The large garden includes a pétanque court. Regularly appearing guest beers mostly come from local breweries such as Tring, Vale and Chiltern. Accommodation is available in a separate lodge to the rear.
