Stirrup Cup, Northwood anyone remember it

Having dinner with my parents and they are talking about The Stirrup Cup, which was a bar in Northwood which had a ménage attached. Harvey Smith and the like frequented it. Would just love to know more about it.

Park Farm! Used to be a very busy riding school and comp centre.
You could go star spotting lol, lots of show jumpers competed there in the 70s.

It sounded amazing from my parents. It’s funny as they weren’t horsey at all but just enjoyed the atmosphere. Now they are pretty horsey as I caught the disease.

Park Farm, Ducks Hill Road. Was a lage riding school, livery yard and then the owners built a large indoor competition arena and the Stirrup Cup was the bar at one end of the arena. Park Farm was the home of the Lancia Show Jumping Championships as well as a pre Horse of the Year Show warm up show and yes all the top names of the day competed there. The venue is now a provate sport centre/gym etc.
