Newly-built in 1455 and created from an assemblage of a shop over a cellar, cottages and a hospitium – a room for travellers to bed down in, when visiting the nearby Grey Friars’ Monastery.

The exposed timbers, layout, and cellars that appear to date from the late 1300s, give this public house a well-trodden history of 550 years of almost unchanged use.

The Farmers’ Bar has humble origins. Low ceilings, timbers and beams, make the atmosphere unique, yet relaxed. Its name, most likely took root in the centuries when farmers sat, supped and celebrated their sales on market day.

Indeed, our link with farmers and markets is thought to predate Aylesbury’s Market Square. Patterns in our cobbled courtyard resemble livestock pens. The markings were probably followed by farmers setting up their hurdles on market days.

Eventually, the arrival of horse-drawn carriages meant the market needed a new home, just outside our front gates.

Our approach to the Farmers’ Bar, is no different from the landlords and landladies of the time. Providing seasonal, local and fresh fare, matched with our beers brewed just 5 miles away at The Chiltern Brewery.

The Famers’ Bar is a country pub, in the heart of the County Town, Aylesbury.
