| CLOSED. The pub ceased trading a couple of years ago and is now up for sale via auction. Future uncertain. ridleyman - 14 Jan 2018 09:06 |
| Good to see a pub reopening; possibly explains the support from local CAMRA. Near to the A14/A1 so handy as a lunchstop. Sandwiches/baguettes rather poor in quality and not cheap. Beer range poor and the Tim Taylor Landlord decidedely tired. Shan't bother to call in again. Worth looking out for somewhere else. GrahamH - 23 Nov 2009 23:06 |
| Great village pub. Best cod & chips in miles! Nices selection of bar meals (from about �6) and an attached restaurant for a wider choice. Meet George the pub cat, who sometimes thinks he's a Rottwieller! Friendly locals bar. Camra winning beer. Usually a guest ale too. Have been to Tuesday Quiz Night a few times. Quiz and a bar meal for (I think) �8 (inc. donation to pub's favaourite charity). Always room to sit and get to the bar as off the main route (about 10 mins from Walden). Highly recommended! briangsf1200 - 22 Oct 2009 12:50 |
| A large free house pub that has quite a lot of recent history. The pub was previously known as The Kings Head before it closed in 1998. After the closure it was a private residence for the next 7 years. On the pubs website it does state that a local campaign group, The Kings Headless, campaigned to have it re-opened again. Although from what we heard from the landlord the owners divorce helped with the process. The present landlord has extensively renovated the whole pub. The pub is split into 3 areas; The Tap Room, The Oak Room and The 40 seat restaurant. The Tap Room has been extended and now includes a previously separated cottage. Three hand pumps were available here Adnams Bitter, Mighty Oak Oscar Wilde and Timothy Taylor�s Landlord. It was fresh on and definitely the best pint of Oscar Wilde of the day. The bench in here at the first table looks like it came from a church. In the oak room next door was another hand pump with Cottage Merchant Navy. Love_good_ale - 20 May 2008 17:50 |
