The Rising Sun, Berkhamsted

Definitely the best ale pub in Berkhamstead with a lovely canal side setting.

Crown and Sceptre, Hemel Hempstead

An excellent traditional country pub with an excellent selection of well kept guest ales. The publican and locals are all very friendly and welcoming. Never overly busy but does a very good trade on weekends. Food is very decent typical pub fare, reasonably priced, and the specials are sometimes better than decent. Lovely country setting with idyllic cricket field just over the road makes for a very pleasant summer afternoon sitting out the front watching the cricket. A good number of tables at the front of the pub and a large garden to the rear, parking is also ample. If you are after a nice drinking pub in a lovely setting with decent, reasonably priced food it's hard to go past the Crown & Sceptre.
