The pub is found in Hartford, Cambridgeshire, PE29 1XU.
Established in the year 1541 the K-O-B, as it is now called by its loyal locals, is situated only a stones throw away from the banks of the River Great Ouse so is very popular with both local residents and holidaymakers alike. The bar is said to be haunted by the friendly ghost of a headless woman who has been seen on many occasions by several people. The pub is said to have been the ''Preferred ale house'' of Oliver Cromwell who was born and lived in Huntingdon. The public bar is original with solid oak beams and a copper topped bar, the public bar ceiling and back of the door are covered in aviation stickers, a legacy from the 70s & 80s when the American airbase USAF Alconbury was just up the road, the base is used mainly as offices now although the runway is still intact, in good working order and is one of the longest runways in Great Britain. Over the years the pub has been a firm favorite with visitors from all four corners of the world, many of whom make a special journey to Huntingdon just to re-visit the pub whilst in the UK and will of course always receive the warmest of welcomes. CAMRA Cambridgeshire Pub of the Year 2014.
