The Cannon

The Cannon is a family-run free house on Newport Pagnell's High Street, a town-centre local kept independent of any brewery tie. Four hand pumps serve cask ale, with a regularly changing line-up drawn from a wide range of breweries alongside more familiar regulars, and prices that stay keen for the area. It is a straightforward drinkers' pub rather than a dining destination, valued locally for its beer choice and unpretentious welcome, and it appears in the local CAMRA guide. The building sits among the shops of the High Street, making it an easy stop in the middle of Newport Pagnell. Being a genuine free house, the range shifts with what the landlords choose to bring in, so the guest beers vary week to week. It is owned and run as a single site by the family behind the bar.
