A five-minute canter up from The George & Dragon, passing the long-closed Nags Head on the way (closed in the 1960s, now a private residence). A cosy locals’ pub occupying a corner plot it is heavy on pub games (darts, dominoes and cribbage), and was clean and presentable inside, offering Shepherd Neame Spitfire and Otter Bitter when we visited; I opted for the latter (NBSS Good). There's a small area by the bar as you enter with a small fireplace which is equal cosy to sit by (which we did). Here, there is list of licensees dating back to 1773 hanging on the wall next to the bar. The landlord was friendly to us too, albeit it's another one of Wendover's just 'OK' pubs.

The Pack Horse was our 5th Buckinghamshire pub of the day and our 2nd Fuller's establishment. Once again, the regular beer London Pride, was supplemented by Seafarers as a "guest".
This basic village pub has a single room and was noticeable for not doing food. In fact, it was the only wet-led pub of the day.
The barmaid/landlady was friendly and our son was welcomed in. All good, apart from the lack of ale choice.

Wendover's only GBG pub is currently owned by Fullers. It has a single bar, one end of which has been made to look cottagey with hard snug seats and floral decoration. It's dog-friendly which adds to the homeliness. There are tiled floors and an ancient fireplace which has been defaced with modern tiles. There is a dartboard and Sky tv to provide amusement. The locals were a bit loud, there were one or two yoghurt-knitters visiting, and the barman was friendly enough. The mix of styles works, sort of. There were three ales on, all from Fullers. I had a couple of pints of Beachcomber which was a bit washed up but still drinkable, not what I would expect from a GBG pub. I would include in a crawl but not necessarily want to spend all evening here.
