      An unpretentious boozer on Abbots Langley High Street whose name is commonly thought to refer to a soldier�s return from the Great War; and a great deal of memorabilia from this war adorns the walls of the pub.

The pub once had a small public bar at the front, but has now been opened out into an unusually narrow single bar. Darts, dominoes and cribbage are all played and there is occasional live music.

      Britain's first motorway services pub has been built at a reported cost of over one million pounds at the Beaconsfield Extra service area at junction two of the M40. The bar sports five handpumps with two LocAles -- Windsor and Eton Knight of the Garter and Windsor Knot -- with an intention to rotate other LocAles on these two pumps. Greene King IPA, Sharp's Doom Bar and Fuller's London Pride are the national brands which share the bar. However, drivers are probably in the minority at a motorway services as anyone who's ever eaten a meal in a Wetherspoon pub will know that the catering trade is the key to the pub's potential. And, of course, the provision of decent and reasonably priced food at motorway service stations is, to say the least, something of a glaring gap in the market. The pub is a modern, very smart Wetherspoon new build with an outdoor drinking area.

  • Buckby Wharf
    • New Inn Watling Street West Buckby Wharf NN6 7PW Telephone(01327) 844747

      A roadside pub standing alongside the A5 and Grand Union Canal with the locks forming part of the small gravelled garden to the rear. Inside is a central L-shaped bar with some parts of the pub dating from the 1600s providing some unusual shaped areas with lots of nooks and crannies to explore. There are some fascinating old photos of the pub over the years and it is interesting to see the works being carried out in 1959 to replace the narrow old hump-backed bridge on Watling Street with the pub in full view. It originally belonged to Walker & Soames of the Anchor Brewery a few hundred yards away at Long Buckby Wharf until they were taken over by Hopcraft & Norris in 1910. In 1946 following a merger, it came under the tie of Chesham and Brackley Breweries until their demise in the same year as the old bridge. It has been a free house now for very many years and remains privately owned, although today, all the cask beers are sourced from the Marston's group of breweries. Being alongside the canal, and at the top lock of the Buckby flight, the pub really comes into its own during the summer months when it gets very busy indeed and food hours are extended to reflect this. An additional one or two Marston's "guests" may be available at this time. A great place to sit and watch the world go by - slowly! Sunday food is roasts until they run out.

      From their website: As a truly independent brewery, established in 1990, we are proud to have revived the tradition of farm-brewed Real Ales. We continue to specialise in the production of individual and unique English 'bottle conditioned' real ales, brewed from full mash blends of English malts and hopped with the finest Kentish and Herefordshire Goldings and Fuggles for that special aroma and hint of bitterness. Using wooden-clad mash tun, copper, liquor and fermentation vessels, we strive to combine tradition with the very latest technology in sterility and temperature control. In the UK we have experienced an increased interest in traditional English Real Ales. More recently however the demand for 'bottle conditioned' ales has never been higher. In January 2007, we were granted the ultimate accolade, The Queen's Royal Warrant, sometimes described as the 'peerage for trade'"

It quickly became, and is still, the focal point of the village.

    • Old Kings Head 2, Harbidges Lane Long Buckby NN6 7QL Telephone(01327) 221409

      Rescued from almost certain oblivion by Everard's Brewery in the summer of 2014, this was formerly a struggling Punch leasehold that had seen no investment for decades. The brewery has invested a lot of time and money in transforming the place from a run down tatty pub into a classic village local. The thatched building itself must be one of the oldest in the village and probably dates back to the 17th century. It retains two bars, and the former public on the left has been restyled into a comfy snug. The L-shaped main bar on the right has very low ceilings (so beware!), leading to another very comfortably furnished room on an upper level, with access to the extensive patio garden and smoking area. Fortunately, this pub was spared much of the internal structural devastation wreaked during that period. New tenants Adrian and Tracey took over in November 2023 and it is good to note that the pub remains very much involved in the local community with quiz nights on Sunday, Bingo nights on Tuesday, plus chess, cribbage and board games all available to play. Darts and Northamptonshire Skittles can be played in a raised area off the snug. Tiger is the mainstay ale but is normally accompanied by two rotating guests from the Everards portfolio and often includes a beer from the Brunswick Brewery in Derby. Food available Thursday - Sunday.

    • Pigeon 23 The Market Place Long Buckby NN6 7RR Telephone(01327) 843172

      Reopened in December 2021 following a period of closure during the middle of the Covid19 pandemic. The pub has undergone extensive refurbishment in contemporary style and the new owner has changed the name from the original Peacock to the Pigeon (reflecting the nickname given to the pub by the villagers in years gone by). It stands as one of the focal points in the market place as you enter the heart of this large village. Originally an NBC house, following the Watney's takeover, it underwent much internal and external reconstruction in the 1970's and all traces of the original separate bar areas were lost. Following this much needed refurbishment, it remains one very long open plan room, with large TV screens at either end. A pool table features at one end of the room, whilst the other end is comfortable seating. There is a courtyard garden at the back and a smoking area. This is primarily a drinkers' pub (no food is served) and will probably cater for a predominantly younger crowd. The ubiquitous Doom Bar seems to be the regular ale but the landlord plans to have an occasional guest beer on draught, hopefully from local county brewers.

Dogs and horses are welcome and many riders hitch up their steeds in a designated part of the grounds. There is plenty of parking available in the adjacent field.

It underwent major refurbishment, which saw the bar re-sited to the rear of the building and all areas of the pub given a total and very imaginative facelift. Although only having the one bar, there are four quite individual areas to eat and drink. Evidence of its antiquity has been preserved and the whole effect is very pleasing on the eye.
