Coming through the front door is like going through a time-warp. A wonderful, small, friendly locals' local. There have been many improvements lately particularly to the outside and garden, all initiated by the dedicated locals as shown in the second photo of this entry. Open all day during the Flamstead Scarecrow Festival, the weekend before August bank holiday. The best value drinks for many a mile. Very dog friendly, sometimes they can outnumber customers. The pub is in CAMRA's National Inventory of historic pub interiors.
