No they didn’t Ingatstonian, they sold it to developers and turned it into “housing units”. Welcome to the South East of England people.
Those lovely little villages that managed to somehow have the small tradesman (like the local knife sharpener) living harmoniously alongside the millionaire businessman, which used to make the pub experience so interesting, are gone. We are now just the dormitory suburb of Northern Europe.
Expect to walk into a pub and find the same bewildered and worried middle class dingbats worrying about their house prices and nursing a half pint of £7 a glass plonk wine.
Don’t worry about the fact that your kids can’t afford a house. Yours is probably worth 50 times more than you paid for it, but that’s still not enough, and the kids are asking that question? Dad, could you help me out…

Pub burned down on night of Wednesday 5th August. Publican had gone missing a few days earlier.
Hope Shepherd Neame will rebuild a better pub.

I know times are hard, but expecting customers to go to the bar to ask for the light to be switched on in the gents when they need to spend a penny is a bit much.
The only ale was Spitfire and it was rancid, and on a Saturday night, too!
Carry on in either direction and try the Red Lion or the White Hart instead.

Brilliant little pub! Found while driving back from Chelmsford. Does excellent pub food and roast meals on Sundays. Really good choice of beers, friendly staff, good prices and has entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays.

Excellent little pub! Very friendly atmosphere! During the week quiet background music, so you can relax and chat to friends over a nice drink and on Saturday evenings enjoy the disco with the regular DJ 'BIG PAUL' playing everything from 60s right thru to the latest music. And on Sundays enjoy roast dinners. Has a garden too!
