Which village was this pub in? I lived in Hurley for 6 years (parents still do) and don't remember this place - perhaps the name has changed?

I think it was somewhere on one of the back roads outside of Twyford around the small village of Hare Hatch - may have changed names or closed down by now though.

Some friends of mine owned a pub in Somerset called "the Rest and be Thankful"

I ran a restaurant in Littlewick Green near Twyford and don't remember a pub called the Whippet Inn
