picture of Ye Olde Swiss Cottage
Not everyone is a fan of Sam Smiths booze with many pub fans falling in to either the pro or anti camps and the Swiss Cottage is a pretty good sword in the armour of those on the anti side of the fence. While the beer is the same as any other Sam Smiths, this place delivers the kind of depressing atmosphere many might expect from a place that sells such bargain basement booze. Built in an eyebrow raising pseudo Swiss chalet style, this sprawling pub comprises a labyrinth of rooms, each seemingly more displeasing than the last. Should you tire of inside however, you could always take your pint and enjoy it on a balcony... overlooking the A41. Despite being fans of the Sam Smiths ethos, it's hard not to rate this as a one pinter, but to be fair it does the job if all you're after is a quick sharpener before hopping on the Jubilee.
