White Lion, Apsley End

May 2012 : Dropped in for a pint as I had heard there had been a change of owners. What a difference the new landlord has made.

The London Pride and ESB was excellent - my friend had the best pint of Guiness he had tasted in a long timr. We don't drink Carling or Carlsberg, but they seemed to be popular and looked very appealing. me. Decor not changed much - but was very clean - understand that the owners are going to re-furb shortly.

BEST THING EVER IS THAT THEY HAVE PUT SKY SPORTS back into the pub and got rid of the rubbish foreign satellite that the other pubs in the area seem to have gone for. The sports are really popular here, so get in early if you want to watch your favourite . The have also upgraded to show the AT THE RACES premium channel so this is a must if you like a flutter.

Kelly is still with them and they have three new staff as well and the customers were friendly so I think this will become my local. Other pubs in Apsley seem to be uncared for..

Landlord is local and his wife has lived in Hemel for nearly 30 years and their three children all went to Hemel schools.

All in all - a great atmosphere with faces in here I haven't seen in years.
WILL DEFINITELY BE A NEW REGULAR.
