Paxton Crescent, Shenley Lodge, Milton Keynes, MK5 7AE (View on Google Map)

The Old Beams was rebuilt after a fire in 2007 with the remnants of the historical pub abutted to the newer oak framed barn. The west end of the Old Beams was the old farm, built around 1600 and called East Green Farm. Later the farm was called Shenley Lodge, which gave the area its name. This part of the pub is the oldest building in Shenley Lodge.

The main entrance is now at the opposite (eastern) end from the original farm building and the car park. Entering, you are in the vaulted barn, which houses a long bar directly in front of you, with the large area to the left reserved for dining with table service. To your right, the remaining tables are for drinking and food ordered at the bar. The room beyond this area is what remains of the original pub and can be hired as a function room. That room reflects its four hundred year history in its beamed decor and the rest of the pub is designed to blend in, with plenty of beams and stone-flagged floors.

The six handpumps on the bar serve three McMullen's beers.

Outside there is a large patio with plenty of tables and a large garden.

The car park is a good size, but the pub can get very popular in the summer, when parking can prove difficult - but careful parking is permitted on nearby roads.
