| Passed here while on business in the area and found this pleasant village pub for a good lunch. Weekday lunch menu was interesting but not overpriced, good selection of food, real ale very well kept on several handpumps and two barrels behind the bar, landlord smartly dressed and helpful. Small but comfortable looking children's area to one side. Only a few miles from the A10 / A505 and Royston - take a detour and try this one, it's worth it. manx_888 - 9 Dec 2011 13:59 |
| For the record the new owner is one Adrian Parkes whose track record is as owner of the Falstaff Microbrewery housed in the Falstaff pub in Derby, which is currently Derby City CAMRA pub of the year. So things look very rosy , and they certainly did when I popped in on Bank Holiday Monday. Three hand pumps on the bar and as well as two brews from the Falstaff brewery (3 Faze and Smiling Assasin) there was Dark Star Hop Head and the two we tried were in excellent condition. As mentioned below the pub has been tastefully refurbished and with its large stone fireplace an wooden beams and now a focus on real beer, is how a real country pub should be. I wish the new team well and hope they are succesful. I will certainly be popping in again when I have the time luxuary to avoid the M11 and A10. Gann - 23 Apr 2011 21:45 |
| It's open and what a welcome addition to the real ale pubs of Hertfordshire. Beers from the pubs owners Falstaff Brewery (Phoenix) and brews from Red Squirrel; Buntingford and Dark Star. The Phoenix and Red Squirrels rebanded Redwood (Late American IPA) particularly in good form. Pub nicely refurbished without loosing it's old charm. A bit of a drive for me, but I will be returning on a regular basis (hopefully with one of my daughters driving next time !!!!). Well done to all concerned with saving this lovely pub and serving well conditioned beers. Hertfordshireboy - 17 Apr 2011 20:29 |
| About to reopen on 16 April 2011 as a genuine free house. Owned, managed and lived in by the landlord and specializing as a quality real ale pub supplying beers from his own micro brewery (Falstaff) and other Herts micros. Beautiful 17th century inn with bags of character. Child and dog friendly (if well behaved and under control!), real fires, exposed beams, nooks, crannies and a bar billiards table! Well worth a visit. falstaffian - 13 Mar 2011 14:11 |
