Local community pub with two bars and a separate restaurant in the conservatory serving good food. All food is freshly prepared and cooked using local suppliers where possible. It is said that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman visited the pub during the filming of Eyes Wide Shut. Many years ago the pub was named the Bird in Hand but changed when the London to Bedford railway was built in 1868. The conservatory doubles as a restaurant and function room. Most major sports events are screened in the public bar. On Monday there is 25% off all pints of real ale, and there is a weekly quiz on Tuesday evening,
