Improve This Listing

Large, imposing village pub, probably dating back to the 17th-century. There are three linked rooms around a central serving area, all with beamed ceilings and exposed timber framing in the walls: a large split level public bar, a stone floored lounge, and a small snug.

Evening meals (not Sunday) are available from an attached Cantonese restaurant/take-away, the Stables Restaurant, which can be accessed from the public bar. Barbeques are usually held on bank holidays.

Quiz night last Wednesday of month; occasional other events (see website).

The local Pigeon Club meets here, and beyond the car park there is a bowling green and associated clubhouse which, while owned by the pub/Marston's, is operated by Ridware Bowls Club.

Historic Interest

The building is reputedly over 300 years old, the date 1686 being inscribed in a piece of stone set in the front wall. The pub is named after the former Lords of the Manor (from 1611 to 1883), but while local history mentions a coaching inn on the site in the 15th-century, the earliest references found are to the Chadwicks [sic] Arms in the 1841 census, and the Chadwick Arms in an 1854 trade directory. However, there is speculation that its name might have been changed from the Talbot, which appears in earlier directories (1818 & 1834), but then disappears from the records. Possible evidence of this is the stone relief of a talbot (hunting dog) embedded high in the brickwork at the front, above the date inscription.
