The village had a public house, the Reformation, which was controlled by the Brakspear brewery. In 2023, the brewery sold the pub garden for housing and the pub is to be turned into a veterinary surgery. Antony Worrall Thompson was chef at an earlier public house in the village, the Greyhound, which closed in 2009. In 2011, a Diamond Jubilee Pavilion was constructed at a recreation ground in the hamlet at a cost of £590,000; it hosts Kidmore End Cricket Club.

The village has two woods: New Copse and Withy Copse.
