This is a delightful pub. Never had a hand pump fitted - all beers are dispensed by gravity. Normally three beers on. One will be Courage Best, the other two will be guests. You can marvel at the sight of a pub that does not have a lager tap.

This pub closed in 1994, and stood unloved for seven years, while there was a local debate over the owners application for planning permission to convert it into a private house. A couple of local villagers set up a company to buy half the original pub, allowing the other half of the pub to be converted into a house. The result is a rather small pub, which after four years of trading is more than making it's name for beer. Normally one Mild, Stout or porter on sale, two other beers, two ciders and one Perry. Look at the blackboard for daily beer list, as many beers are not on hand pump but served direct from the cellar. Third weekend of each month is the beer lovers club, where there is over eleven beers on sale. Beer festivals held in the large garden Whitson and August bank holidays. Be warned though - not open Monday & Tuesday lunchtimes.

The Nags Head, Bishop's Stortford
The Nag�s Head is a very interesting building in the Art Deco style, and as such is listed both internally and externally.
Unfortunately it has been struggling for many years, due mainly to lacklustre landlords and a non-interested pub owning company who were more interested in the value of the site it stood on as a building plot. It finally closed in November 2008
The pub owners initially made moves to sell the land for building, but were thwarted by the listing status of the building. Fortunately McMullens took a more enlightened view on the building, bought the freehold in April of this year. They are
currently doing a major internal refurbishment, to bring the building back to close to its �as built� condition. I have not seen the works in hand, but McMullens are saying it will be a �breathtaking job� when complete. They are hoping to open the
pub during this summer.
