The Saracens Head Inn, situated in Amersham
Old Town was built in 1530 at Number 38 Whielden Street, formerly known as Union
Street when Amersham Hospital was known as The Workhouse. The pub is steeped
in character and was built from timbers removed from old ships. The building
surrounds a central courtyard which was originally a travelers coaching inn.
The original stables have been converted into two function rooms which overlook
a secluded garden and patio / barbeque area.
The bar area boasts a large open log fireplace surrounded by ornate horse
brasses and large wooden beams. Our in-house Chef offers delicious home-cooked
food lunchtimes and evenings from our extensive menu, with a specials boards
which changes daily. A selection of fine wines and real ales are available
to suit every palate. This combination and the ambience of this truly traditional
English pub is so rarely found.
Rumour has it, two ghosts roam the building, one is supposed to be a young serving wench from the 17th Century. The other still remains a haunting mystery.
