The Blackwood Arms  

This is a simple country pub famous for its real ales.

The pub stands in a fine location on the edge of common land and is a popular destination for walkers in the Burnham Beeches area. There is a friendly atmosphere in the simply furnished single bar which has a real fire.

The menu offers an excellent selection of value-for-money meals and snacks, and has a friendly family-run atmosphere. A while back they had an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for the highest number of different ales served in one year, with over 600 different ones being served in 1997. Sadly this was overtaken by pubs elsewhere as they realised real ale drew people back to the pub.

They even welcome dogs and offer them Chewy Bars available at the bar!

No accommodation here.

Access for the disabled is possible.

The Blackwood Arms has a large beer garden with a horses field at the bottom.

No juke box or games machines.

The Blackwood is one of the nicest pubs I know. We visit it nearly every week after a hard days work on the farm. (Jeff)

My friends and I have enjoyed many an evening at this pub whether it be for the entertaining quiz night or the absolutely superb theme nights. The food that was provided for their Mexican Night was simply out of this world! (Sue - 3/2/03)

The Blackwood Arms is one of those gems that has evolved over time. A little bit off the beaten track but ideal for walkers, riders, families, dogs everybody! Big garden for summer, nice fire in winter. Like all rural pubs it has its ups and downs, the last people running it didn't really do it well enough and a lot of the regulars have gone elsewhere (loud rap music didn't go down well with the rural idyll). Try it! (7/7/03)
