Beautiful & rural dog friendly pub, located in Buckinghamshire. The Akeman Inn has closed it's doors for a little while as we begin an exciting new chapter.
(1138)

As many of you know, we’re now part of Acorn Pubs, a collection of characterful pubs and inns across the Home Counties, operated by Brunning and Price. This gives us the opportunity to give our beautiful pub some well-deserved love, with a refreshed interior, updated food and drinks offering, and a brand-new name. When we reopen in early November, we’ll be welcoming you back as The Crooked Billet — a new identity inspired by the original name of the pub. 🤎

While our name and look may be changing, the things that matter most will stay the same. Our wonderful team will be back, ready to welcome you, and we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on. See you soon… The Crooked Billet awaits.

It was a beautiful morning, so we thought we'd try out the AllTrails circular 3-mile walk to and from the pub (well slightly longer than 3-miles if you notice that bit on the film where we clearly went the wrong way!)
Just a shame there wasn't a nice warm coffee and a roaring fire at the end of it - it was colder than it looked!
A great way to work up an appetite in future.

WEEK TWO 🛠️

Things are really starting to take shape at The Crooked Billet!

Week two has seen plenty of progress, with the new colour scheme coming to life, artwork making its way onto the walls, seating being fitted and the bar areas beginning to look a lot more like their finished selves.

There’s still plenty happening behind the scenes, but we’re loving seeing all the little details come together and getting another step closer to welcoming you through the doors.

Here’s a little peek at what we’ve been up to this week… 👀
