Yes, ANOTHER slug and lettice. Same place, same staff (near enough), new paint and 30% more expensive than it was before. Trying to be upmarket in a town that considers Wayne Rooney's girlfriend to be a toff. Just plain sad. Go to the Harrow of King's Head. If you can still walk that far then try and make it to the Hop Pole. Cheaper and FAR better quality.

Has now closed down to become what looks like ANOTHER Slug & Lettuce. First of all the one in Marlow and now this place, will the one in Wycombe follow???

That should have been hog rather than hos. Keyboard problems here...

Hogshead = cask of ale equivalent to approximately 50 imperial gallons.

Hog's head is the head of the hog. Hos is defined (in the same dictionary) as a domesticated pig, esp. a castrated male reared for slaughter. Hmmm. Could be rather clever joke on the staff or clientele?

Only one ale in here now: Bombadier. However, tastes good and only £2 a pint on Friday and Saturdays now - as are all the other drinks I might add. Seems there's new management in here and they're really making a go of it. Toilets have been fixed and are clean, pleasant atmosphere; worth a go!

It was like a petrol station inside. I had to wait ages for a rather ordinary pint, TV screens were good if that's your lot.

Why is it spelt Hog's Head? This surely means Hog is head? I thought a hogshead was a large cask. Sums it up really.
