This historic hostelry with its fascinating pedigree is well worth a detour. A barrel shaped wooden partition wall/notice board leads to rooms containing log fires or cast iron stoves. Architecture and furniture is mixed rustic with hops adorning bar areas. The food is of exemplary standard with bottled beers being sourced from craft breweries. Terry Pratchett hailed from the village and Bekonscot Model Village is close to Beaconsfield railway station (two miles). This area is a walkers' paradise.
