Nice and cosy backstreet pub in Bushey which was fairly busy on our Saturday evening visit. There is just one single, small room. But, it was somehow managing to show both live football and rugby without detracting from the atmosphere of a traditional pub. The clientele and the barmaid were all friendly. 4 ales are served - Young's Bitter, Greene King Abbot, Black Sheep Best Bitter & Timothy Taylor Landlord. We sample three of them. My preference was the Black Sheep. I quite liked this place.

Traditional pub - ale was okay as opposed to good.

Excellent pub that has managed to avoid being modernised,gasto-sised or selling its soul. Small but perfectly formed with plenty of reading material and board games available. The DoomBar was perfect, I took another just to be sure. Youngs and Landlord available. For the non-beer drinkers there was a very decent selection of whiskeys on offer. The customers were friendly and engaging. I must mention the Toasted sandwiches - at only £1.20 each.
I heartily recommend a visit. Sky sports on screen and a quiz night was being advertised for Tuesday night. A real good old fashioned pub

Visited this small back street boozer on a Saturday evening, and found it to be very lively and busy. Three real ales were available (Youngs Ordinary, Landlord and one other - Pride perhaps), and my three pints of Youngs arrived in excellent condition and had clearly been kept by a landlady who knew her stuff. Like any good local the clientele were a good mix, and there was a pleasant friendly atmosphere. For those of you who like a traditional local the Swan is a gem.

Was unaware this little gem existed until I spotted in in the CAMRA guide. Everything a corner local (although it isn't actually on a corner) should be. A warm welcome - from a lovely coal fire and the friendly locals...and a sizzling offering of sausage baps (ooh er) from the cheery landlady. Well kept Timothy Taylor and Youngs bitter means that I'll be back...and impressing my friends with my local knowledge. Cracking.

Visited for the first time last night and were made immediately welcome. Staff and customers were friendly and 'real', just like the ale. Will be going here a lot in the future. Loses 1 point for being way more expensive than home (Midlands), but not the pub's fault!!

Excellent little boozer. Very small inside with a small seating area at the back (which feels like someones back garden). There are a few seats out the front as well which are a nice touch. There's a very friendly atmosphere in this place, not a huge range of beers but I had a very nice pint of Ordinary. Has a dartboard. Recommended.
|
Marvellous traditional English pub. Cloudy cider and a game of darts and Spurs top of the league. Fantastic.
|
Good old fashioned Pub. Guinness is a bit pricey but well worth a visit
|
A great pub. Indeed once upon a time all pubs were like this. Full of locals of all ages, a buzz of conversation and great beer. Also try their scratchings - some of the best this side of Brierley Hill!
|
Always a warm welcome for me and the hound. Good wine at good prices, and two real fires for the winter months! People are great, conversation flows. Great Pub.
|
The barstaff are absolutely smashing and rather good looking too. The locals are not so stunning but rather nice company all the same.
|
lovely people in there. they're all lovely. just great.

Am glad it hangs on in there, but I prefer other Bushey pubs.

Great pub, loads of people my age get in there.
|
Not big enough to swing a cat, but who swings cats anyway, cosy little pub.
|
This is another quaint little pub, also worth a try.
|
Agree with real ale, quaint little pub 7 out of 10
|
Authenticity is its hallmark. Nothing fake, contrived, or plastic. 4 hand pumps serving Young's, Jenning's, and a guest. Friendly staff. Always an enjoyable evening. 7/10.
|
This one is a hrd one to rate. Everyone in the world should visit here to see what old puds were really like. Well worth a visit.
|
A superb traditional basic back street pub with open fire in the winter and an interesting mix of regulars.
Ales on offer are Youngs Ordinary, Youngs Special, Adnams Bitter and (currently) Wadsworth 6X. Also a Addlestons Cider, Guinness and a couple of lagers.
An interesting aside to this marvellous establishment is that the Ladies loo is OUTSIDE. Great on a cold, windy, haily night.

A great traditional back street pub, with open fires in the winter. Serves 4 ales plus real cider and fizz lager beers for the less particlar drinkers.
Any unusual, and redeeming feature is that the ladies loo is outside. Great on a wet night.
