| much better on recent visits - beer selection is OK for this type of pub and the food was more than passable. Staff are OK and reasonably friendly. Garden much improved and quite a pleasant place to sit with a pint. Also a good winter pub after a walk in Whitewebbs/Forty Hall. mally_drinker - 26 Aug 2010 11:07 |
| Parts of this pub apparently date from the 16th century and its name comes from the story of King James I meeting a tinker in an alehouse and the tinker not knowing who he’s drinking with, and this is allegedly the pub where it happened. Could be true as Stag hunting by the royals of the local forests does go back to Tudor times and this is a nice old periodic building with large stone fireplace and dark oak wooden beams internally. Its laid out in two distinct areas, one for drinking and one for eating. The beers nothing to write home about, being GK IPA and CW Bombadier on my last visit if I remember correctly, but this is a nice out the way spot for a drink, especially if you have traipsed through WhiteWebbs from Forty Hall or Hilly Fields to get here. It benefits from a decent sized outside garden and if you are drinking or eating inside the curious medieval style porch on the front door is a good place to leave your muddy walking boots.

| The first to comment...this is one of the more remote pubs within the M25. A good walk through Whitewebbs Park awaits you, or perhaps a drive. This is clearly a very old pub with a certain amount of character and a good beer garden. There is a magic ingredient missing that is hard to put my finger on. It just didn't have the welcoming vibe I'd hoped for. Still its a good place to go for a refresher, before making your way back home again through the park. tuppence - 1 Oct 2009 13:19 |
