Horse & Chains PhotoThe Horse & Chains is easily accessible by car or bus in Sparrows Herne, Bushey.  Historically the earliest reference to the pub was in 1698 when it was known as 'the two cottages at the stump'.  The stump referred to the tethering post where the horses were rested.  Located halfway up a hill the horses would be watered and rested while the coachmen and passengers partook of a pint!  Dick Turpin apparently stayed here in 1742.  The stable, barn and horse trough were removed in1938 after the last horse, Old Poll, was retired to pasture. All open plan, the bar offers a comfortable environment which has quite low ceilings, old wooden beams and a cosy log fire.  With comfy seating this is the place to enjoy just a drink or a cup of coffee, read the papers and maybe take advantage of our wireless internet access.  From the smart, informal restaurant you can watch your meal being prepared through a hatch into the kitchen.  Food is all freshly prepared using seasonal produce with regularly changing menus, offering plenty of choice with a variety of dishes to suit all tastes.  Children's portions are available and the options from the bar menu are ideal for the younger ones.  It is well worth travelling from further afield to come and enjoy this very hospitable pub and restaurant.  We hope to see you very soon.
