An 18th century pub has reopened under new management after it was shut for some time.

The Old Shepherd at Chorleywood Bottom was on sale back in May last year as a new operator was needed for the historic two-storey cottage style property.

Now the pub opened up again under new management on Thursday (March 10), offering local revellers its classic watering hole once again.

The traditional local has been popular in drawing trade with residents living in the area, as well as attracting dog walkers walking around Chorleywood, and the new management advertises the venue as “dog friendly”.

It is open from 4.30pm to 11pm on Monday to Thursdays, 4.30pm to 12am on Fridays, 12pm to 12am on Saturdays and 12pm to 10.30pm on Sundays.
