The Robin Hood & Little John is an old pub and (more recently) restaurant. According to a previous incarnation of the pub's website it is 200 years old. It was in business by 1846.
The pub is listed as 'Public House Robin Hood [with] Outbuildings and Yard' in the 1846 tithe award for Aslackby with John Taylor Marston as landowner, Joseph Seaton as occupier, no state of cultivation, and an area of 1 rood and 6 perches (1163.47 m2).[1] The earliest map known to include the pub is a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1888 (see Maps section below).
