Nice olde worlde pub at the end of the village High Street. Lunchtime visit.
First the good bits;- Welcoming and pleasant staff, good food at a reasonable price and HPA - Hereford Pale Ale on one of the pumps, on good form and served well.
Now the not so good bits;- Internal seating not too comfortable, big screen television, (fortunately not on during our visit), quiz nights, open mic nights, Sharps Doom Bar and the place was oh so cold.
Possibly visit again, when the weather is warmer, and we can sit in the garden.

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 in the car park for smokers. Three beers on, Old Hookey, Rev. James and Jennings Cumberland on my Oct 09 visit. 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 gets a fair bit of custom.
