In 2005 the old Pheasant pub is now the Cape Fish Inc. seafood restaurant.

The Pheasant pictured around 1900 after the brewers, Wellers of Amersham, had covered the ancient brickwork with rendering and mock timbers in the popular Brewers' Tudor style. They had also added a new section to the left hand end, slightly taller than the original. Advertising 'Horses & Traps to let on hire', they provided a drinking trough at the roadside for resident and visiting animals.
