Is it the Crooked Billet pub at the end of Berko High Street? at Gossoms End. Turn right at the traffic lights and go up the hill. I think the estate is called Chiltern Park...... |

Chelle No, they pulled the Old gray mare down, and built some of these fancy new house jobbies - dont really suit Northchurch at all. I got married in All saints Church, some moons ago. The kings arms is now a Wetherspoons! jess x |
