This Pub is Closed Long Term

The name Sheldons was given to the pub when it joined the Thorley pubs empire in the 1990s. Thorley's sold the pub in the 2010s.

Laterly, under new tenants, during the day it was a family pub but not so much in the evenings. It used to sell London Pride and Shepherd Neame beers amongst others, with its sales of cask ales stopping sometime in 2023. It was in the 2012 CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

Historic Interest

This former Truman house was rebuilt in 1935. The pub's original name, the Saracen's Head is not unusual for a pub, and derives from the Crusades in the Middle Ages. The soldiers brought home souvenirs of their skirmishes with the infidel and displayed them in alehouses. Moreover the crusading knights, whose landowning interests often included inns, were apt to insert a Saracen's head on their coat of arms.
