A cosy an attractive thatched pub just outside of Buckingham, it consists of a couple of bars plus a conservatory extension on the side and a few tables and chairs outside on a patio.
The main drinking bar is to the left, and this is a cosy old place with a low ceiling, massive walk in fire-place at one end (although these days in just contains a small wood burning stove), a mixture of carpet and boards on the floor, and a pale yellow colour scheme with some old black woodwork. The woodwork also extends to a couple of partitions containing some old leaded glass. Seating is a mixture of wooden benches, chairs and stools, all with red velvet cushions. There is also a small, tiled fireplace at the other end of the bar.
To the right is a smaller room with vivid green paintwork, and this looks as though it perhaps be used more for dining. Beyond this is a conservatory. The menu was a decent enough selection of “pub grub” dishes, with most of the mains being around the £8 - £10 mark. My Chicken Curry was a decent enough dish with generous chunks of chicken, although personally I would have preferred a little more flavour. The landlord was a very genial and friendly chap, as were the other waiting staff. I even noticed that he changed a punter’s pint, completely unprompted and after the punter had gone and sat down, since he apparently wasn’t happy with it in some way.
Beers on tap were Brain’s SA, Tring’s Side Pocket, Oxford’s Blenheim and Buckingham Bitter, the latter of which was apparently being launched that night according to a notice behind the bar, and consequently the local Camra branch were out in force to check it out. The solitary cider was Thatcher’s Dry which was an unusual and very pleasant find in these parts. All in all, well worth checking out.
