Our Story
A genuinely old, black-fronted pub on Henley-in-Arden's High Street — real fires, a well-loved beer garden, and regulars who come back for the same table every Sunday. We're dog-friendly, keep a good range of real ale on tap, and fill the calendar with live sport, live music, and our own annual music festival. Old building, modern pub.
