The former Hog’s Head opened in c1997, having previously been the Rock Machine, Churchills, No10s and Winstons. In 1958, it was the newly built Chevalier Tavern & Restaurant, roughly on the site of The Old Chevalier Inn, destroyed in the Blitz of May 1942. The inn had not been open all that long, having taken over Chevalier House. This local landmark was, in fact, a pair of town houses, built in the early 17th century, with elaborately carved wooden frontages.
