Solid traditional English pub on Tickford Street on the way from the Town Centre to the former Aston Martin works, now only a repair shop for the marque. Cosy, half-timbered saloon bar, basic public bar and a pool room comprise the pub. Four handpumps, but usually only one or two in use - from a rotating list of six "popular" ales, with occasional extras. Accommodation offered, which is popular with visitors. Breakfast offered from 8am weekdays and 10-2pm at weekends. Roast dinners noon-3pm on Sundays. Pictures of old Newport Pagnell and memorabilia of the Beeching-axed Wolverton to Newport Pagnell railway adorn the saloon bar. Friendly bar staff, proud of the range and quality of their real ales.
