The Horse & Jockey<br />
The Crown on Church Road (HP10 8NY) dates<br />
back to the 16th Century when it was one of<br />
only two ale houses in the area. It was owned by<br />
the Penn Estate from the 1750s until it was sold<br />
in 1929. It used to host Rent Suppers and large<br />
shooting parties. It was a favourite with the<br />
Home Guard during WW2. Some of the<br />
interviews for a TV documentary ‘The Ruth<br />
Ellis Story’ were filmed here.<br />
Manager, Tracy Armour, has been in post for<br />
4 years. Kitchen Manager, Rob, has been in<br />
post for 12 years. Tracy and her team provide a<br />
warm welcome. Tracy says The Crown always<br />
tries to stay open as much as possible. Most<br />
staff live in, and quite often help push cars up<br />
the steep hill from Beaconsfield when snow hits<br />
the Chilterns!<br />
The pub has a large car park. Walkers who<br />
The Horse and Jockey on Church Road (HP10<br />

ably assisted behind the bar by Berni Dawkins<br />
who deals with all the pub’s local publicity<br />
through their Facebook page.<br />

supply here. Thursday night is Comedy Night.<br />
