More a locals pub (like the star further down) but ok nonetheless ie not too many strange looks. Since the fattys moved on to pastures new theres more space

Nickthefish, as you say everyone entitled to their own opinion you too. Not sure when you went in but more staff than customers you said? That would be hard as usually only one bar maid on at a time unless the owners are there too, perhaps thats it. Nice that they are there and always show themsleves to be interested in the place which you don't see very often these days.
We the regulars and visitors love the place so much improved now. A full list of entertainment every week, good banter and always a friendly smile and a laugh from the owners who are a great couple who listen to us when we make suggestions or even the odd moan or 2 i even got my sandwich. Karaoke is always a bloody good laugh and packed out............loveit. More, more more!

Revisited recently and still don't understand what the fuss is all about ? There were more staff than customers and the doombar was almost undrinkable. May have been the ch***ea shirt on the wall that turned the beer off ! Vile.
Roebuck or the windmill surely the better bet round here. Just my opinion as i know a lot of you like it in here.

Friendly pub, great owners who have tried so hard and given us locals a nice place to drink. Never any trouble and a very friendly crowd. If you havn't dropped in as yet make it your next port of call, you will be made welcome.
P.S Dogs welcome which is a nice touch for the dog walkers coming in from Bushey Park!

Halloween Night, what a laugh, loved the makeup!
|
Loverly pub, we thought the new owners were very friendly and welcoming. Very good beer and a great atmosphere with friendly locals. Definatly be going again

James2, bound to be dark if it is closed I would have thought, hehe! The owners open 12 till 5 on a Sunday which we think is OK given that the high street is a dead loss anyway on the sabbath and they make no secret of it with opening times clearly displayed and it was certainly open this past Sunday for sure?
Was in there last Friday too and it was packed out, had a great motown singer. They then had a disco the following night we beleive which we could not make, so two nights of consecutive entertainment, not bad we think.
Each to his own but judging by the crowd Friday I think you might be in a minority James2 with your thoughts. All have our opinions though, that is what makes life go around. The Jenny Lind, WE LOVE IT!!!

.Strange if its the place to go according to the last reviewer,how comes its shut all day Sunday ? Must be to keep the crowds out...... I found it dark and depressing .
|
Been a while since I commented on the Jenny Lind. The new owners (not so new now) have continued to really make the effort. Live music virtually every week, with all sorts of different acts. Really do everything they can to please us the boozers! 10 out of 10 for effort, none of the other pubs in the high street come anywhere near them for that.
Good beers, try the Doombarr really really good, got me hooked and i cant stand bitter normally. Always a freindly welcome and a laugh with Tam and Ant who both work their socks off, hope it is working out for them too as difficult times for pub as we all know, a dying tradition.
Only criticism is they dont do any food now, a sandwich would be enough when i finish my shift guys! And they have a moaning minnie of a bar maid too who sometimes spoils it u name an illness she has got it and dont make the mistake of asking about her love life, I did, never again......
Really is the best pub around the area now we should support the effort thesse guys have made. We do! Keep going .......... more Mercenary Rock godz and karaoke please...

Tippleman...I'l give it another go. Could have been an off day...Cheers

Nickthefish,
Have you got the right pub mate? Usually agree with your comments.... but The Jenny Lind souless could not disagree more. It is fast becoming the best pub in the High Street. Great crowd, regular music with some great acts, good atmosphere, welcome smile and some really cool novelty attractions. Huge improvement on what is was and a great place to chill or have some fun. Love it when there.

A lovely welcome into the comfortably refurbed "Jenny". A good choice of lagers and a couple of ales to choose from too. The new owners are certainly making an effort and I hope all goes well for them. I shall be visiting more often (especially as its a rugby themed pub). Try it, you wont be disappointed.
|
Well what an entrance these new guys have made, wow!!! The new owners are Tammy & Ant, a great fun married couple. The place has had a facelift inside and out with more to come we are told, but good so far with a rugby theme as the previous reporter said.
A friendly welcome now greets you, and the beers are great and looked after well, such a change from what it was. A Huge TV which is perfect for watching the games and the other week they even dished out free grub during half time whilst we were there, a nice touch!
I beleive this will now fast become the pub to be seen in the high street. Great people, great place and now finally some friendly, fun owners, and fun bar staff, look out for Penny. A dynamic combination of all three of them! Keep going guys it's great, look forward to the next event or game.
We Fully recommend!!!

Rumour has it that this place could be changing hands again. Definately one to watch as has the potential to be a great place with the right people behind the bar running it!!!!

Nice name, shame about the... place? Actually, it's not bad. The paint work - which looks rather fresh - is a colour conducive to drinking and although the clumpy wooden furniture isn't the most comfortable in the world it doesn't look bad at all. Two TV screens let the place down a bit, especially given that when I went there both were switched on showing nothing in particular, and the bar area strangely evoked the feeling of being a cocktail lounge?!
Good for: a few summer evenings jars
|
Since the new owner took over it has gone down hill (no pun intended!)it opens at odd times and he is always drunk!
|
Not too many frills in here, but I like it nonetheless. The service was very friendly. If you like a traditional no frills pub then this is worth visiting. If you like All Bar one then maybe not.
|
Nice, friendly little pub. Good beer too.
Landlord and landlady do make an effort.
Karaoke is a good laugh as well - let's have more of it.
|
nice pub food, always do a nice pint of cider. Shame about the landlord..hehehe only joking Chris. This is a decent local

Great food, nice music at the weekends. Two dart boards with four darts teams. Friendly bar staff. Cozy little boozer.
