The pub is found in Puttenham, Surrey, GU3 1AR.

Attractive sixteenth century coaching-inn style pub in rural village off the Hog's Back. Narrow bar surrounding central serving area. Hops above the bar, beams and open fire. Dogs welcome (also walkers!).

We have visited this pub twice, seen 8 different beers and tried 4 of them.
