It is a friendly, pretty village – Real Ale & Craft Beer pub (with REAL home-cooked fodder... Yummy) overlooking the picturesque Boxmoor common cricket pitch. The pub has been in operation since the 1800's providing refuge for weary travellers. They pride themselves on impeccable service, familiarity, comfort and focus on the pleasure of eating and drinking.
We look forward to seeing some of you for a lovely evening
Pam :-)
