This is a fantastic pub. So unchanged, without trying to look old. The beer's top notch too. Just wish it was my local and not 130 miles away.

The Carpenters Arms, Burghclere
lovely meal, reasonable prices, nice beer and a pleasant atmosphere. Not many of these country pubs around these days so visit as soon a you can.

Really surprisingly quite little pub which could have been in the countryside rather than right next to Hyde Park Corner,
I liked it and the beer was OK but at London prices �3.55 a pint.
Barman was a little abrupt and so I can imagine that the other people's comments are correct.
Visit as it's in a lovely location but beware the barman.

The Full House, Hemel Hempstead
Big pub, typical reasonably priced simple Weatherspoons food. As Weatherspoons pubs go this pretty good and pretty much a good as it gets in Hemel.

Good typical old fashioned drinking pub. If a little limited on real ales.

The Ferryman Inn, Bablock Hythe
Friendly pub. Beer was OK - 6x and Wadsworth IPA. Nice location. Bit bland looking inside.

Beer was really good, decor was very homely and food looked good value. Yes, best pub in Chesham (the rest are just plain rubbish except the Swan which is a little way out of the town centre).

Yes, this is a great little pub. Lots of great beer and little drinking booths. A real beer drinker's pub. It's the only pub I know of in the Reading town centre which has any character.

Yes Bushey is depressing for pubs. This was another pretty poor beer quality, average scruffy boozer inside. Go to the Red Lion, beer better, cheaper, just the same old scruffy interior.

Very well presented pub. Beer is Green King so I had a pint of Gunniess.

The London Pride in here is probably the best I've had anywhere (and I've drunk a lot of it, trust me, especially on the brewery tour at Cheswick) and it has only just gone up 5p in the last couple of months to �2.15. The food is really good and unbelieveably cheap (16oz steak �5.99, 8oz �3.99). It's a bit rough and ready, but there's an awful lot worse pubs out there, even my girlfriend doesn't mind it in there.

The Two Brewers Inn, Chipperfield
Must agree with the others. Typical Brewers Fayre pub. Beer rubbish, expensive. Food was rubbish even for one of their pubs.

Haven't eaten here for a long time, it was OK in the restaurant side. Bar area really small and smokey (won't be come July and they ban it). Beer was pretty good.

Beer's OK. Unusual old local (not many of them left now). Worth a visit.

Still as good as when I rated it in 15 Nov 2005. I've had some meals here since then and they are top quality, though not cheap. An excellant special meal and night out for your partner. Timothy Taylor still great.

Absolutely great old pub, the 2 bar areas look totally original. Great range of real ales and that friendly atmosphere that you only get in pubs out in the middle of nowhere in the coutry. A must see, especially to show any tourists.

Lovely old country pub with large fire place and original tudor style timber cellings. Beer excellant especially the Timothy Taylor Landlord. Food looks great too, if a little pricey but has award wining chef so probably worth it.

White Hart, Chesham
Lovely typical county village pub with a welcoming atmosphere and roaring fires. Beer is always excellent, normally a couple on, sometime 3. Food is on a level with a gastro pub.
