The Golden Retriever Pub A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for our hearty, seasonal pub-food
(1966)

Nestled on the outskirts of the picturesque Swinley Forest, The Golden Retriever is a charming country pub with a rich history dating. Originally believed to be a forester’s cottage in 1841, it was later developed into dog kennels (hence our name!) before the lovely inn we have today. Over the past 16 years, this rustic farmhouse-style venue has become a beloved local hotspot. From hosting the annual Ale and Music Festival to showcasing the county's only glass bottle Christmas Tree, The Golden Retriever has established its unique traditions. Guests can indulge in a delectable array of dishes, including mouthwatering sandwiches, sensational light bites, pub classics and fresh Sunday roasts. The menus are brimming with hearty favourites and seasonal delights, ensuring there's something to satisfy every palate. The well-stocked bar offers a wide selection of cask ales, fine wines and British gin, perfect for enjoying in the beautiful gardens or by the crackling log fires. Whether you're seeking a private dining experience, after-work drinks, a leisurely brunch, or a festive celebration, The Golden Retriever is the ideal destination. With its to Buckler's Forest and Swinley Forest, this charming pub promises a memorable dining experience for all.
