| was ok but they never have the beer thats on the black board marinetank0 - 9 Sep 2011 19:27 |
| I have to say I am surprised at the recent downers on this pub, I been popping in now and again over the last 15 years and I feel it was always been a rotten pub whatever the name of it is, in fact I like Ember signs as its a nice big sign telling you not to bother coming into this crumby M&B rubbish, If you like their pathetic efforts at pubs you might as well go and get mad cow desease at The Prey for about £3.69 for eat as much turd as you like . Although there are a few of the Nicholsons pubs in London that are quite good! Henners - 3 Sep 2011 14:23 |
| Yes TIAMARIA it's true, although if you look closely it does say @ the king william in small letters at the bottom of the sign. SHOCKING. Similar thing happened to the Ancient Britton - replacing history with corporate logos. Think the 3 Hammers retains it's name but does have a gaudy Ember Inns sign. webstercraft - 3 Sep 2011 11:25 |
| Oh dear, haven't been in here for over a year but to me it will always be the King Will. Has the other Ember Inn I know in the area become something stupid or is it still the Three Hammers? Is your local council doing anything about retaining the proper name? TiaMariaJim - 4 Apr 2011 12:22 |
| Such a shame, this used to be pretty good for beer & food. But since the refurb it has gone downhill rapidly. Why have they removed the King William IV pub sign? That's what the pub has always been & how it's known to the locals - no-one is going to start calling it the Ember Inn so why change? Not that I blame the landlady who I think tries her hardest but is hampered by the pub company who have no connection with the locals or what they actually may want. The beer choice is nowhere near what it used to be - used to be one of the best in St Albans but now there's rarely anything unusual there. The menu is not as good as it used to be either - I ordered the chicken bacon & avocado salad - there was some chicken, about 2 small bits of bacon but absolutely no avocado in sight and the salad consisted of a mountain of lettuce with about 1/4 of a tomato, 1 slice of cucumber & that was it. It should have been called "chicken & lettuce" since that would have been a much fairer description of what I actually got. Used to go in here quite regularly, we won't be rushing back.
