Land of Liberty, Peace & Plenty Photo

The Land of Liberty Peace & Plenty is a star among pubs located half a mile from Junction 17 of the M25 in Heronsgate.  Built in the 1820's, it was the local beer shop before becoming a three roomed pub in the 1870's.  It has undergone various changes over the years and as the repairs and renewals continue many points of interest and features are being found, these are preserved wherever possible.  In March 2008 the salvaged bar from the tasting room of the closed Grand Union Brewery was added to the pub!  Outside, there is an area open behind the pub which is ideal for groups, parties, outdoor dining and enjoying a drink with friends.  There is also a covered pavilion in the large garden.  Live music is held occasionally in the bar, and in the garden during summer.  Quality homemade lunches are served using locally sourced produce wherever possible and there are bar snacks available all day.  Your meal can be complemented by a good wine or a choice real ale if you prefer.  The owners of the Land Of Liberty, Peace and Plenty pride themselves on the quality of their real ales which are served in oversized glasses for a full liquid pint.  This is a place where the residents and locals enjoy hearing from people who have family connections with the pub, and have put families in touch across the globe to help them trace family trees!  Gill and Martin consider that they are running and living in a community service as well as a business, hence they sell various items unusual for a pub (in the absence of a village shop) and help out their neighbours whenever possible. This is a venue to put on your 'must try soon' list so come and meet Duchess, the special pub dog along with the welcoming team at the Land of Liberty Peace & Plenty.

When you visit the pub please let the staff know you have seen it on Pub Explorer.
