The Cedar Tree is a long-standing Bagshot local at 1 High Street, on the junction with the A30 - for most of its life it was the Fighting Cocks. It closed for six months and reopened in March 2025, keeping its two separate bars, a pleasant patio and a small car park, and it trades as a community pub with live music, comedy and other entertainment on the calendar rather than as a dedicated music venue. Listed hours are noon to 11pm Monday to Thursday and noon to midnight Friday and Saturday. The pub sits in the Star Pubs & Bars estate, which in 2026 was advertising the tenancy with a refurbishment planned, so the programme may change hands - artists should check the pub's Facebook page for current live nights before booking.
