please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Good beer guide listed pub towards the north of the town centre.

Several drinking areas along with a seperated room at the rear of the pub used for live music. Often very busy on music nights.

Food is available from a Chinese restaurant nearby, the bar staff will order food for you and you can eat it in the pub. Nice touch.

Hobgoblin, Deuchars regularly available plus a variety of guests. Old rosie cider available too.

Good pub for live music with all tastes catered for, from acoustic night to electric blues to african drumming.

Plenty of guest beers available, pleasant outside seating area and friendly atmosphere. Deuchars IPA, hobgoblin, fullers london pride seem to be available alongside the standard draught bitters and lagers.

Bar staff will order you a takeaway from a very commendable chinese restaurant to eat in the pub.

A comedy club has recently opened on fridays, and with music taking place basically every other day of the week, the pub often gets busy in the evening.

Prices are par for the course in Stortford.

One of the most vibrant pubs in the town, with a HUGE range of beers and live music.

If you don't mind a bit of character-building grime, this is a good bet for a weekend pint.

Just about the best in town, the beers change on a daily basis (almost). Standard beers, Hobgoblin, London Pride and IPA, plus 4 guest ales and Old Rosie.

Can get busy as there is music most nights.

There is a lunchtime menu, I don't know whats on it as I only drink. Menus for the chinese are available from behind the bar.

Previous review spot on - the best pub in town. Long standing entry in the GBG. Only drawback is no food, although they will order you a chinese takeaway from the place across the street.

A fantastic pub to go to. They have live music of every sort possible from folk to drum and bass. These are usually hel in the back room, which does have it's own l=mini-bar. The main bar serves guest beers and there is generally something there for everyone. Sometime they even put up a blackboard with the guest beers on it and yu can vote what ones you would like tobe around the next month. There is a little garden out the back, which is a little hidden away and a treck from the main bar. Plus, there is something called 'World of Cheese'. The food, not the music. Platters of cheese and bread etc. for munching. There is something for everyone here.
