The tiny and narrow White Swan faces the young buck, Craftyard and the two are chalk and cheese. Renowned for their televised sport, my only visit here prior to this was in April 2013, where Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid was on TV and the night where Robert Lewandowski came of age, in a European sense, with an almost Proustian display of modern existentialist football, bagging all four goals in a 4–1 win. A freehouse with three handpumps, and a plethora of pump clips adhered to the numerous ceiling beams, we were presented with Tring Ridgeway and Fuller’s ESB, with St Austell Tribute settling in the cellar; the Ridgeway here proving to be my pint of the day. There were already a small clutch of locals in attendance on our Saturday afternoon visit, commandeering the seats by the sole window onto the High Street and we were able to have a good chat with the landlord, who prides himself on his beer quality. On this showing, he's got every reason to espouse that particular deadly sin.

The grottiest pub in the village but as is the norm, the keeper of the best beer.
Went to three other pubs in the area and the ESB here was head and shoulders above everything else served and 2 of those were fullers pubs.
Cracking music - never entered a pub with Hawkwind on before!

A very pleasant little local pub, understated in appearance but quite cosy inside, currently owned by Fullers. The single bar is small but has managed to squeeze in a dartboard and tv screen. There are floorboards and fake beams, and there is a St George's cross nailed to the ceiling. The humour among the locals is earthy and fun, while the staff are welcoming and run a 'try before you buy' policy on ales. There were three ales on draft, one of which was a guest. The guest was Navigation's New Dawn, an interesting pint, very fresh and very well kept. I could happily spend an evening in this decent, basic boozer.
