The Crooked Billet in Stoke Row is one of England's finest and most traditional country inns. It is hidden well off the beaten track, down a narrow winding lane. Built in 1642, it was once the hideout of notorious highwayman Dick Turpin, who was romantically attached to the landlord's daughter, Bess. Paul Clerehugh took over The Crooked Billet in 1989 and quickly gained a reputation for providing excellent food. The Crooked Billet has retained all of it's original character and features. Inglenook fireplaces, low timbered ceilings, flagstone floors and old, scrubbed, pine tables all remain and there is still no bar - beer is drawn directly from casks in the cellar.

Many food guides recognise The Crooked Billet; with entries featured in the Good Food Guide, the Which Good Food Guide, the Good Pub Guide, AA Best Pubs & Inns Guide, and Restaurants of the Millennium.

The Crooked Billet has also been included in the 'Best Out of London' in Time Out's Eating & Drinking Guide, two years running.

The Crooked Billet also enjoys a modicum of media fame, having been chosen as a location for big screen movies including Patriot Games and Landgirls, as well as numerous television programmes and commercials. It also hosted Titanic star Kate Winslet's wedding reception.
