Green Dragon

Cathy, Murray and Karen welcome you to the Green Dragon at Flaunden.

This pub was previously a Free house, formerly Ind Coope, Taylor Walker, Cannon, Salter and Woodman. The front of the Inn dates from the early 19th century. It masks an earlier building. The licence cannot be traced before 1806 when it was kept by William Tyler. It was kept for about twenty years in mid-century by Henry Childs and by 1838 it had been acquired by Salter and Woodman, brewers of Rickmansworth. The current licencee, Barbara Green, bought the pub from Benskins in 1978.

The historic village pub has long had a reputation for good food and a great atmosphere which has made it a destination for discerning diners and a welcome stopping point for walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists and ofcourse caters for traditional horses and carriages.







Along with Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale and London Pride, the Dragon has negotiated directly with Fullers to add ESB to its fine collection of real ales. Extra Special in every sense, this is the definitive premium ale, bursting with flavour, ESB has won more CAMRA awards than any other beer.

Flaunden is often the backdrop to many TV programmes including more recently Midsummer Murders.
Dance with the Dead - 'The abandoned Coopers Cross WW2 airfield (Bovingdon) near the village of Morton Fendle continues to hold attractions for many of the villagers. Simon Bright, a local young man, is found dead in his old car at the site, apparently having used its exhaust fumes to carry out a suicide pact with his girlfriend, Laura Sharp. But she is nowhere to be found. As Barnaby and Jones fear the worst for her, they have to unravel her many tangled relationships, in order to find out what has happened to her, and identify the killer amongst the villagers'

The pub is open all day most days with food (Thai and traditional English) being served from 12pm through to 10pm (except Monday). A takeaway Thai service is also available.
