| A pub just outside [[Heathrow Airport]], near [[Hatton Cross Station]], and convenient for Terminal 4 if you're driving and want a quick pint and some food before checking in. It's right under the flight path to one of the runways, so planes fly low overhead on a regular basis. |

Parts of this pub are very old, dating back to the 17th century, and indeed there's a very low timber-beamed ceiling inside. It's a charming old world survival in an area otherwise dominated by industrial units for the services supporting Heathrow Airport. It overlooks what one imagines might once have been a village green. There's seating out the front in a paved area, and there's also a very large grassy garden area to the side with plenty of tables. There are three handpulls on the bar, which offered Black Sheep Bitter and two other regulars on [[Ewan]]'s visit in September 2011. The Black Sheep seemed perfectly fine. |

Comment added by Sylvie: Nice pub, nice food but don't go there for the real ale. I have been there a dozen times or so, and everytime I have some it tastes like it's the end of the barrel. Being a woman doesn't help when I tell the guys behind the bar that the ale is off, they usually laugh at me and will change my drink with reluctance. Last time I tried the two real ales and ended up having wine instead. By the way, did I say that I'm a CAMRA member? No, well now you know! |

On bob's visit, the Guinness was passable; the real ale wasn't that good but I think we caught the end of a barrel. The food was carvery style and was edible. The lamb was overdone to my tastes but wasn't bad.
