The Owl (once known as The Wheatsheaf) has stood in the heart of Kingsfold for more than 115 years. Over the years our pub has seen its fair share of history.
It was here in 1904 that the famous English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, created the hymn ‘Come all ye Worthy Christian Men’ (there are several different titles), which became known as ‘The Kingsfold Hymn’.
Kingsfold is also home to one of the finest lyrical poets, Percy Bysshe Shelley and the Commander in Chief of the Fleet for the Royal Navy; Admiral Sir James Hawkins Whitshed (1762-1849).
EXPLORERS RETREAT
With the un-touched countryside on our doorstep, we are proud to have such a beautiful landscape as our neighbour. An obvious paradise for walkers, this wild landscape is full of adventure, with everything from relaxing strolls around Warnham Nature Reserve to afternoons in Warnham Park, straight from our doorstep.
COUNTRY GEM
Our charming pub offers all the original rustic characteristics of the initial public house. With textured flagstone floors and wooden beamed ceilings, it’s clear to see the cherished history of centuries past. From enjoying drinks in one of our cosy corners to dining in our restaurant next to the crackling fire you’ll feel at home and catered for.
The Owl is a fantastic place to create memories all year round. Catching the rays in our garden during the hotter months or catch-ups over hot drinks in winter, we are the perfect place to soak up the world.
DOGS WELCOME
Whether you’re soaking up the sun in our garden, or snuggled by the bar inside, you can do it all with man’s best friend by your side after a long walk through the Cotswolds
