| Our old local in a very different incarnation when it was run by Dennis and Audrey, like parents of one enormous and very happy family. What fun was had there over the years. The interior is unrecognisable but the pub is run by an excellent, energetic and creative landlady who is working hard to bring it back to life. The beer is consistently good, the service friendly and the food, we understand, good value for money. The_Music_Man - 18 Nov 2011 18:14 |
| This place isn’t going to win any awards, but I found the staff and other clientele to be friendly enough. Greene King IPA and Abbot are still the only ale offerings, but my pint of Guinness was well served. I spotted a couple of plasma screens for the showing of Sky Sports and there was some decent background music playing. I wouldn’t rush back here, but there is a nice beer garden out the back handy for the summer months. Strongers - 28 Oct 2009 10:32 |
| Visited the Duncombe Arms last night as a relation was playing in the band that was on. Most of the previous posts are quite dated but can confirm that not a lot seems to have changed and on this particular Saturday night this was a lively good town centre pub to be in. Attracts a fairly young crowd, but not too young and I was held up at the bar a couple of times as the bar staff diligently checked the ID of anyone who didn’t look like they were old enough to have short and curlies. The demographic changed a bit during the evening as the young party crowd moved on and others interested in the live music and the extended (till 12.) licensing hours moved in. Got quite rowdy during the second set but was only locals and the band followers intent on having a good time and as mentioned below was never serious. The only slight negative was that the only cask ale was the usual Green King fair of IPA and Abbot. So not very inspiring, but well kept all the same. Gann - 1 Feb 2009 14:54 |
| Not a bad pub, allows kids during the day. Cheap and decent pub food. Live acts and bands at the weekend. Quite rowdy but never serious. Good warm up pub or a daytime quiet drink. thirtyhertford - 4 May 2008 18:10 |
| Good beers all week. Youngsters Fri/Sat. Mixed crowd the rest of the time. Bands can be good on Sat night (extension). Andrew_Smith - 5 Dec 2006 12:14 |
