Once a coaching inn and forge, hence the name, the oldest part of the building dates from the 15th-16th century. Oak beams and an ornate bar front feature in the contemporary interior. A pleasant garden is situated alongside the main Watford Road. The three cask ales offered include two ever-changing guests. Good quality meals are served every day. The pub hosts quiz nights on Tuesdays for a small cash prize. There is a bus stop outside and the pub is well placed for access to the M25 and M1. An Ember Inns cask club discount per pint applies Monday and Thursday - CAMRA members enjoy a discount all week.
Historic Interest
Grade II listed, parts of the pub building date back to the 15th/16th century. The pub originally had much larger grounds but in 2017 much of its garden was sold off and a Co-op supermarket built on the site.
