Real Ale Real Food, Pleasant Garden.

Bar Billiards There is selection of three Real Ales at present, always Greene King IPA and two others as guest ales, sometimes seasonal and sometimes as new tastes for our regular real ale lovers. We are hoping to increase our selection as trade builds so look in and see what's on tap.
We have an enclosed, pretty garden.
Inside there is a traditional bar with bar billiards and darts.
We have a cosy dining room where we serve traditional roast dinners on Sundays and mid-week, authentic curries cooked by our own Asian treasure "Mihin" on Friday and Saturday nights and lots of home cooked dishes on weekday lunchtimes, including Ham off the bone with free range locally produced eggs, steak and real ale pie and outstanding Ploughman's with homemade coleslaw.

History

The Plough and Harrow and its on-time close neighbour, the Four Horseshoes served the parish for a number of years. The Plough and Harrow carries on the tradition of serving both villigers, and those from outlying parts. Originally Warfield was a mostly rural parish made up of a number of small settlements. Warfield Village proper consists of the few houses around the parish church in the centre of the parish.
Newell Green, Warfield Street, Hayley Green, and West End, are generally referred to as 'Warfield'.
To the north are the hamlets of Hawthorn Hill, Jealott's Hill, Moss End and Nuptown.
In the south of the old parish, Wick Hill and Priestwood were subsumed from Warfield to become suburbs of the new town of Bracknell. The High Street area of Bracknell itself was originally in Warfield parish.

Garth Hunt

Garth Hunt Kennel lane in Garth (Priestwood 2) remains as one of the few reminders Warfield's past. The Garth hunt, which was very fashionable in the 1920's and '30s, would convene at local Inns on hunting days. They would drink from the stirrup cup, and quaff pints of ale. The hunt has now moved elsewhere.

Ghosts
