The Bootlegger is conveniently located opposite the station. I'm not sure what I was expecting. But it was a surprise to find such a decent pub here. 9 real ales were on - Tring Mansion Mild & Sea Vixen, Rebellion Mild, Smuggler & Victory, Hardy & Hansons Olde Trip, Leighton Buzzard Cuckoo, XT1 & Thornbridge Hopton. At the rear of the bar there is a list of craft beers from brewers such as Tool, Siren, Brewdog, Wiper & True & Meantime. There were no real ciders that I could see. But fridges to the one end of the room contain many different ales and ciders in bottles. The barmaid was friendly too and there is plenty of space to sit. A good pub.

This pub is now called 'the bootlegger' - the flint cottage is no more.

This is a pretty damn good pub.All ages.People here are pleasant and sophisticated.The ales are good and loads of exotic bottled beers.It is expensive if one wishes to indulge.But there are beers available here that are hard to come by anywhere else.Good place to take a date and shows Wycombe has some cool people in it to provide custom for the pub.Sorry to knock Slough,but a pub such as this couldn't survive in Slough simply because there just ain't the customer base to make it viable.

As has been noted the pub is now called The Bootlegger and is apparently owned by a Kiwi landlord. A bank of handpumps with a fairly good range of real ales most of which are actually served from the cask in a side room (The Tap Room - the old kitchen?) Many keg lagers on tap but a huge range of world-wide bottled beers in fridges clearly on display. However, looking at their beer list some of the foreign bottles were a bit on the pricey side. The barman was very helpful and told me that he "tutors" customers onto the various beers available. On my visit they did not open until 4pm but I think this was just a temporary arrangement for November/December. I would visit this place again (it's on the way to The Belle Vue) and right across the road from the station and it certainly is a welcome addition to Wycombe's limited range of real ale pubs. A brave venture!!

Now called the Bootleggers, 7 real ales, a shrine to real ale, lots of bottled beers, a worthy addition to Wycombe.

Great Pub - like everything else Paul Campion touches, this will also surely work! Has some fantastic Ale's on in here, and for me, it's just a short roll off the Train Station Platform....Hic!!

This is a great addition to Wycombe, and in a prime location (right next to the train station). Good cask selection. Mostly terrific bottle selection (if I were being picky, there's too much run of the mill pasteurised British ale in bottles - a bit pointless when you've got 7 cask pumps - and the German selection is very poor - nothing from Franconia at all... and Becks!?!?).
Anyway, this is a great place and it will be great to see how it progresses in the summer. One thing though - PLEEEEEEEEASE can the management sort out the massive typos on the signage both outside and in. It's really embarrassing. Sorry to be so anal :(

What an amazing pub, It has been renamed The Bootlegger which suits the idea.
7 Real ales on tap 2 of which are rotated between Rebellions ales as a permanent fixture. 4 Guest ales rotating constantly and 1 Cloudy cider. They also have a selection of approx 70 bottle conditioned real ales and a further 180 bottled beers from all over the world ranging from Belgium to South America.
Really laid back and relaxing atmosphere.
They have a over 21's policy, No Children, No pool table, No Football or no football colours to be warn in the pub. Which is great as they support Rugby and it get precedence on their large screen. I cant wait to see how they finish of the back garden (its huge)... All and all a great drinkers pub with no rif-raf.
The staff are excellent and must be commended for the knowledge of the products they sell. Yes they have a huge range which can be a bit daunting .... but let the staff know what taste you like and will will happily suggest something for you.
what can i say... I have found my favourite drinking whole to date.

As pointed out below this pub is now called the Bootlegger.
They have 7 cask ales at �2.50 a pint. They also have an amazing selection of bottled ales, largers and ciders, numbering around 300.
A truly amazing selection of drinks.

Has been taken over by the same people who run the Sausage Tree and is now called the Bootlegger.
Interior is now a lot smarter and 7 cask ales at �2.50 a pint has me hooked. If the prices stay at that level i'll be calling it my Local.

place was clean,not very busy,no real ales on at time of visit,music a bit loud.
|
what a great pub. me and my friends live in birmingham and have friends who live down in high wycombe and whenever we visit we always love to go to the flint. the staff have always been really friendly and made us feel at home. i would fully recomend it to anyone visiting the area.
