Went past yesterday, they are due to be reopening on Wednesday 10th November.

The pub has now been closed and boarded up for months, but there has been some new activity within the last couple of weeks. A sign has also appeared, which states that the premises are being refurbished and will re-open soon.
Watch this space.

Currently closed down. Shame, the fish was not bad.

The food is not bad. Reasonably priced and seemed to be fresh. We sat in the conservatory. Very clean and comfortable, but all a bit tired and in need of a refurbishment, as do the toilets.
It's a GK pub. The guest was Shepherd Neame Spitfire, which had just run out - I had the Guinness.
Would we go back - Doubtful.

Popped by without knowing Rickmansworth at all. I was impressed by the service and the general ambience of the place. There was a large number of diners in for Sunday lunch (which smelt very nice). You just get a feeling when you've found a pub you'd like to return to if you're in the area again. This is one of them for me.

I will add my comments for The Whip and Collar , although I have to say they are only based on popping in on an early Friday evening for a quick pint after playing sport at the local sports centre.
I can concur that this is a traditional old-fashioned pub still keeping a connected Public and Saloon bar with the serving area stretching between them. It�s always fairly busy with the after work crowd when I am in on a Friday and I can guess this is due to the fast and friendly service and the decent well kept beers. For example last Friday, as well as the standard Green King IPA, the guest real ale was the Dartmoor Best Bitter from the St Austell Brewery, which had travelled well from Cornwall.
I wonder if John below is thinking of the right pub as I�m not sure you would describe this as being a riverside location as it sits on the Uxbridge road between Ricky and J17 of the M25. I believe the River Colne flows behind the pub, so there may be something beyond the end of the fairly small square car park that I have not discovered yet.

Haven't been to this pub for some time but it looks as if it's as good as it was in the past. Recommended.

One of the last tradtional pubs left in the area 17th century apparently.Great home made food and fresh fish and 5 real ales which is great.Great pub for summer with riverside location.
