Member advised in March 2019 that they no longer sold real ale. Following a phone call to the pub, this has been confirmed! It may only be temporary, so more news welcome, thanks.
Homely and historic unspoilt pub with raised snug. Two rooms set aside for dining. Car park at rear.
The room where the bar is situated is very small; the other rooms are often laid out for dining.
Opening times may vary.
As it it close to Saracens rugby ground,the pub has offered lifts to the game if you have lunch there! Check before you plan though as it may prove very popular.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
This 17th century pub has three distinct rooms and a 19th century servery.
On high ground just on the edge of London, this feels much more like a country pub than a town pub. It has been a pub since the 17th century but there is now nothing one can see from that time. The core is just inside the front entrance – a service lobby with a delightful 19th-century servery with high-level screenwork. Along the right-hand side as you enter is a fixed bench and wall panelling with a shelf above. The ‘stone’ flooring was installed in a generally careful refit after a bus embedded itself in the front wall some years ago. On the right, up a couple of steps is a cosy snug with plain, square, panelling and a fixed bench. The large, left-hand room is entered from the service lobby and dates from the 1950s. The ‘barn’ on the right is a function room and is pre-World War II.
