The Good Intent, Puttenham

what can i say?Its been a year and a half since i visited this pub with my cousin and i still think aboutit and cant wait to get back(i live in the U.S.). I knew i was in the right place when we opened the door and it bumped into a big retriever sleeping in the doorway. This was the first of several dogs encamped in the pub. Apparently there had been a hunt(this was just after New Years)and the entire group had been celebrating the day with great food and of course great beer. For the life of me i cannotremember the names of all the beers because we were having such a great time with the patrons of the pub and the great character of the establishment. My cuosin Tom tells me that the name is not hung outside due to the folk lore that if it is the owner would die imminently. Further folk lore says that this pub is on a road in Chaucers Canterbury Tales? All i know is its my first stop the next time i visit Tom in Farnham. Fitzsimons
