Welcome you the original Sawston Pub...

A little Pub History...

Sawston's position on a main road fostered the establishment of inns and public houses, and an inn called the Saracen's Head was mentioned in the 15th century. Early inns included the White Horse, mentioned in 1633,(fn. 68) and the Green Man, open in 1711. The Black Bull, open in 1687, was probably replaced by the Vine, mentioned in 1711 and renamed the Black Bull before 1755. In 1872 there were 14 public houses and beer-retailers, and 13 in 1900. Public houses and inns open in Sawston in 1972 were the White Horse and theBlack Bull, mentioned above, the White Lion, open by 1757, the Queen's Head, open c. 1810, the Greyhound and the King's Head, both open by 1847, the University Arms at the Spike, built by T. S. Evans in the 1850s, and the Cross Keys and the Woolpack, recorded in 1937.
