Old looking oak-beamed pub in the little village of Flamstead with a convenient bus stop outside. Nice interior with horse related décor, indeed one punter turned up in his horse & cart and tethered it up outside whilst having a pint. There is a low ceilinged room to the right of the main bar for food and a pool table and dart board to the left. A couple of tables sit outside I the car park for smokers. Three beers on, Old Hookey, Rev. James and Jennings Cumberland. I got the end/start of a barrel and it wasn’t pulled through that well, drinkable but not the best Old Hooky experience I‘ve had. £2.90 a pint but I believe they have cheap deals during weekday afternoons. Nice friendly community pub which I imagine is getting more custom now that the only other pub in the vicinity, the Spotted Dog, is temporarily closed.

The beer here was quite good.. both the Tring Side Pocket and Brain's Reverend James were eminently drinkable. Service was a bit slow though it was Scarecrow Festival and a lot of fumbling families making their minds up while drinker's with throats like emery boards awaited their thirsts to be slaked. Will be interesting to see if the quality of beer is as a good during a period of low turnover though. Nice enough pub though and worth dropping in to.

Great pub to visit, now run by a local family, have eaten here twice since they have taken over and the food is now fantastic, good beer too. Keep up the good work at the Three Blackbirds.

Achtung, Spitfire! That was my humorous compliment to the landlord for the high quality of his Shepherd Neame Spitfire ale. It is still a character historic pub, that is also a highly living and sociable pub too. The beer garden and open space outside is much more usable than a few years ago. Three real ales in all, from regional brewers. Well worth a visit.
