When we visited on Sunday there was a power cut, but fair play to them, they were still serving.
Six ales on tap - we tried the Rocking Rudolph (H&H) and Iceberg (Titanic) which were both on good form and £3.20 for a pint.
No food, due to the power cut - and anyway, we'd arrived too late in the evening. Will go back for a fix of Thai.
Friendly staff, very welcoming atmosphere and nice decor, with plenty of football memorabilia around the walls.
It is a bit hidden away, but makes seeking it out all the more worthwhile.

This is without any doubt the best little pub in Watford, tucked away in a side street just up the road from Watford junction it is easily accessed by the traveller. A Greene King pub it is stacked out with guest ales as well as the usual IPA & Abbot also top notch pub grub.
If you fancy getting steamed up off the beaten track then this is the boozer for you.

Visit cut short by a private party but the London Glory was spot on. Will have to visit again to get a better impression.

Smashing place - hadnt visited in over 30 years, but was well-pleased. Miss Fred and Reene (sp?), but wait-staff were top-notch.

A few of us headed for the Nascot in advance of the Watford v Leeds game, guided by someone with local knowledge. What more could you want in a match day pub if you like beer and pleasant surroundings (and not to be treated as sub-human, always a bonus!)?

We got there at 11.30am, half an hour before opening, which was disappointing, but withing two seconds of us looking through the window the doors were thrown open for us. They say first impressions last, and as first impressions go that was a good one!

Hand pulled ales were, in no order of merit, Greene King IPA, Abbot, Royal London and St Edmunds. There were two other ales, Joseph Holts' Humdinger and a sixth which I've forgotten. There were no complaints at all about any of the pints, so thumbs up!

Service was pleasant, and the interior small, but comfortable.

It was a decent enough day so we sat out and watched the sport on the screen in the small beer garden. Some of our number had plates of the Thai food which is served from a pretty extensive (but not exPensive!) menu.

A £6 taxi ride to Vicarage Road, a scrappy 1-0 win and we headed straight back. It was much busier than at lunchtime, and I was disappointed that, beered out as I was, they didn't serve coffee. A small criticism overall though.

I had the spare ribs (fell off the bone) and the duck with steamed rice for around £12. Complementary Thai crackers as well! You'd be pushed to get as good value in Leeds let alone down south.

If/when our paths cross again then this bunch of Leeds fans will make the short journey from Watford Junction for sure.
