Visited for a quick pint and found this place to be pleasant enough. there were three real ales on offer, I chose the Thwaites Wainwright but it wasn't quite up to it's normal high standard, the virtual lack of head possibly took the edge of it for me, and at £3.10 per pint, a little expensive, even in these times.
The pub itself was interesting with seperate rooms and what appeared to be friendly enough locals.
There was a live acoustic set in a room to the rear, but the £4 entry curtailed my interest as I was only stopping for one beer.
Would visit again, but it was more average to good, than exceptional.

The Half Moon is OK but it always smells of damp!

Been redecorated so no more lumps of plaster falling of the wall! Otherwise still the best pub in Stortford.

Great selection of real ale, with a rotation of guest ales, at a reasonable price - served by friendly, albeit cheeky, staff. Also the usual spirits and a selection of reasonable wines.
Now undergoing a most needed revamp under the ‘new owners’ and lovely landlady. It should turn out to be a tasteful update to the establishment’s antique feel.
Quite a venue on the music scene, though I have never been to a ‘gig’ there yet.
It has a choice of two bars and a small offshoot room to the rear of the upper bar. The lower bar has a number of tables and a rubber pig (it used to be a rubber chicken!) hanging from the ceiling to ‘Oink’ for attention when staff are in the upper bar… and beware the informal rule; you buy the staff a drink if you ‘oink’ when they are there already!
Nice ‘hidden’ garden at the rear and a nice courtyard space too.
Normally has a paper or two, which you can peruse if you have popped in on your own for a quick pint.
A very good place to meet for a friendly drink - Especially if like good ale.
