This large pub, with restaurant, re-opened under new management in December 2009, after being closed for many months. It is owned by Enterprise Inns and is in the heart of the old part of Charlton Kings, and opposite St. Mary's Church. The pub has undergone a major renovation, including external redecoration. It could be argued that the exterior was more attractive before this was done, and it seems a shame that the attractive pub sign has been replaced with something more bland. You can judge for yourself by looking at the photo by Terry Jacombs of how it looked in January 2009, when it was closed:- Image Another view of how it is today (March 2010):- Image
