Great Offley: The Green Man This is a Chef & Brewer pub and restaurant off the High Street. The 1892 Ordnance Survey map shows this as the Green Man so it has not succumbed to corporate re-branding. A photograph contemporary with that mapping shows another similar pitched-roof building, in what is now the car park, to the right of the pub.
